Thank you, SurfnSci and Pearly-Whites for the super sweet compliments! I haven’t created any wire-wrapping projects for a while, so maybe this will motivate me to get the supplies out. Pearly-Whites, your combinations of gray are fantastic! Enjoy wearing your new necklace, Amoreperla! It’s a...

MintyFresh, this is just a suggestion, but if it’s your first attempt at knotting, I would start with something shorter like a bracelet or short necklace. For me, ropes are more difficult because of the length of the string you have to manage.

So pretty, Pearly-Whites! BWeaves, I think I missed what happened to your hand. Hope you mend quickly! Golden SS strand and a mixed rope, both from Kojima. Worn with earrings I wire-wrapped. The abalone shell is from my uncle who would (hunt, harvest, fish???) for them back in the 50’s or 60’s.

Thanks so much, Pearly-Whites! I love your necklace and bracelet and I think the necklace looks great on you! Oooo, love the bracelet and ring, SurfnSci! A double Tahitian strand with a vintage clasp from the PacificPearl/Kojima collection, worn with earrings I wire-wrapped.

Another idea that would check several boxes- dainty, shiny things, unusual and rare looking, would be the little h line of jewelry. I’m not seeing it listed on Pearl Paradise’ website, but you can contact Hisano, at Pearl Paradise to check the availability. She is no longer producing these...

Throwing something else into the mix. Since she likes dainty, natural pearls, and peculiar, what about a keshi piece? Keshi can be smaill, they are a result of a happy “accident” as a byproduct of the culturing process, and they have unique shapes. Here’s a dainty necklace available well within...

Thanks so much, Amoreperla! Circle Tahitian rope and bracelets I put together, with Tahitian keshi and coral earrings from Druzy.

Thank you, Pomelo and SurfnSci! Pretty rings, Tecs1990 and BWeaves! Congratulations, Pomelo!! Is your due date soon? You wear large studs well! MintyFresh, what a great project for getting back into your jewelry making. SurfnSci, you look absolutely elegant! A golden SS pearl I chose from...

Thanks MintyFresh! They are Augers and are easily found on different beaches. Pretty colors BWeaves! Love the combinations. I think I’ve only taken a few photos of those pieces, but the necklace I’ve had since last summer, and the ring was from my visit to the Takahashi office in March...

A blue Akoya ring from Takahashi, a drop necklace of FW, SS, Kasumi, Tahitian and Akoya pearls from Kojima, and a necklace I wire-wrapped with Fiji keshi pearls from PP.

Merrily, I don’t know what the shirt looked like to begin with, but I like the end result! When I used the Rit dye to dye white plastic pearls to black, I left them in the dye for 24 hours. I used some sort of small plastic container to soak them in.

A SS pendant from PP worn on an Akoya keshi necklace from Kojima. The other necklace is a large (10.5+) baroque Akoya from Takahashi, the SS keshi studs are from PP/Takahashi live, and the jackets were made with loose Akoya from Takahashi.

Beautiful Akoyas, SurfnSci! I love the combinations, BWeaves! Love that dangly pendant! The inner Tahitian necklace is from Kamoka, and the outer is from Maui Divers. Worn with earrings I wrapped.

Thanks BWeaves! I like your new bracelet. It goes perfectly with Planet Berna! SS tokki earrings from Kojima, a new Kasumi pendant, also from Kojima, and two Tahitian keshi necklaces I wrapped.

Bella3x, a belated welcome to the forum! I enjoyed looking through your collection. I especially like your newest 3 strand multi necklace. Great find!
