Caitlin,

Actually, Cabelas has the 150 yard spools available on their web site.
Try searching for PowerPro and you will see all the choices. They have this stuff available in all sizes from 5...

To which the proper reply is... "I don't know... How many pearls are there?":D

--Stephen

I understood Jeremy's article to be referring to solid nacre pearls and that the sizing reduction was due to greed. If these are bead nucleated then the sizing would be less of a surprise since you...

I hope they would not sell such a strand but these days you never really know unless you know the stringer and their work really well.



Uuummmm... guilty as charged.:o Only for me it was...

Knotty,

I can see use for it. When I was restringing a set of pearls for my wife about an hour before she was to wear them the string broke with about 6-10 pearls left to knot. I had to...

Thank you!



It is just my twisted sense of humour showing through. With the new title system that we have I am classified as a "young spat". Due to only having made a double handful of...

Greetings,

I recently received the Lake Biwa pearls that I had ordered from The Pearl Outlet. I purchased two strands and had one strung to be 20 inches and the other one strung to be 16...

I finally got a few good pictures of my Lake Biwa pearls. I ordered the white ones and was not disappointed. They are quite dainty and very pretty. I wish I could upload the full resolution...

Thanks Terry. I had not seen the bit on the page about the 2-3 days due to volume etc. iIt also doesn't help that our spam filter apparently threw the "order shipped" email away without even...

I ordered the white ones and I am still waiting (rather impatiently as I am anxious to see them). It seems that there is a rather long delay from the time that things are ordered and when they ship....

Jeremy,

I will echo John's request. I just cannot get a sense of the size of that piece without seeing it on someone. Is there any chance of getting a picture before it actually goes out the...

Barbie,

I have been away from the list for a few days so I am just now seeing your note. I do not think I could get away with wearing them myself. Maybe if they were a little shorter but...

Thanks Hanaleimom! Silly me! I was looking under the new items page of all places. I am glad to see that there are some left. Now I just have to figure out how to explain to the wife why I bought...

OK, I give up. I have looked twice on the Pearl Outlet web site and have not been able to locate these pearls. Can someone enlighten me as to where to find them on the site? I have a feeling that...

Jeremy,

That makes great sense. I had not noticed the logo as I was focused in on the pearls. Now everybody knows a small part of why I don't run PearlParadise. :-) I never thought about...

Greetings,

I recently ordered a strand of MiltiColor Freshadama pearls from Pearl Paradise. They are beautiful but, when I got ready to wrap the box so that I could give it to my wife, I...

Let me try to step out of the way and let somebody else show what I am talking about... This has been posted before but I will post it here again. This is a dutch site that has some pictures and a...

Danachit,

I am sorry that I seem to have commandeered your thread and I hope you got your question answered first. However, just in case, let me try to explain how I understand attaching a...

When I get home and can get a longer piece of thread I will try it again.
Right now all I have is a short piece maybe 6" long and no beads of any sort. Your description sounds clear enough even for...

Pearl_dreams,

Using a short length of power pro that I had on my desk I tried to do what you described. I ended up with what I would call half of a larkshead knot. It seems to me that this...

I think I see how this might ultimately look between the pearls but I am just not seeing how to do this. Let me think about it a bit and maybe try to draw it. (I have to see it. That is one of the...

OK, now I am trying to figure out how one would do a larks head knot between pearls. I know how to do this to attach the thread to the jump ring but between pearls? Isn't this sort of an "end" type...

Sueki,

That is interesting. Mine arrived today too. I have to say that it is unlike any fishing string that I have ever seen. I tried my "universal cutting tool" (AKA fingernail clippers) on...

I decided after my first "take it apart and re-do it" (after ~55 knots out of 60) that string is cheaper than time. Now I try to have too much string. For an 18" strand I don't bother with 80" of...

Caitlin and Pattye,

Thanks for the info! I have ordered a spool from Cabelas. They seem to have all of the colors and sizes available. I tried a few fishing stores here locally but they all...
