I've been teaching myself to solder and made these hoop dangles with 14k rose and yellow gold. Our Jersey helped me set the keshi since she is a master at setting pearls! (HUGE thank you!!) I don't have them in hand yet, but Jersey sent me this photo and I'm in LOVE :o

Made this piece this morning - so much fun to make!

I know this has been posted elsewhere (but I cannot find where, even with search terms), so I thought I'd post an inquiry here for easier reference. I need to remove some leftover marker marks from some pearls I drilled. The marks are pretty small. I cannot recall if you can use Acetone (pure...

HOLY WOW! After I cleaned up the drool off my desk, I finally read all about the treasure. What a treasure it is!

A little celebration for the start of June, the month of the pearl! I decided to wear my GSSP and pipis :) What are you all wearing today to celebrate pearl month??? Let's see!!

I'm putting together this vaguely Native American inspired necklace and I could use some feedback. Originally, I thought lapis with the pipestone, mandarin garnet, rhodochrosite, and 24k gold beads would look great, but was underwhelmed. I had these sleeping beauty turquoise for a long time...

Playing with layout before assembling. Really would like to do this in rose gold at some point. For now, silver it is!

I loved BWeaves mismatched studs, so I copied and made B + W keshi earrings

Strung up some older gray FWP button shaped pearls on nymo thread along with rose gold plated CZ bars and an old gold and diamond clasp to make a double strand bracelet. Pretty good Saturday evening :)

Laurent asked if I would share an article with you all. Click Here The article is on pages 115-117 (the journal's page numbers) and it's about a piece of coral that had a giant clam pearl fused with/around it. Pretty cool! I think Laurent posted some photos previously in a thread of the...

I was playing with some itty pearls last night with a small finding for a pendant. I'm not going to keep this, I don't like it much, it doesn't have the look I'm wanting. But it's still fun to play around :) I eventually want to get this bead cap (9mm diameter) and one of these two bails...

I got a few Tahitian pearls from Jersey a while ago and I just set one into a rose gold (plated) and CZ pendant setting and enhancer bail from gempacked. What do you all think? The color is a greenish-blue.

I'm hoping someone on here has a huge stock pile of bead bumpers they'd be willing to sell me! My apologies if this is not appropriate for the forum. I'm in a huge crunch! I ordered a bunch of 2mm clear and white oval silicone bumpers from Beadalon in order to repair a pearl necklace for my mom...

Article here.

Picked up this vintage pearl necklace for a deal. The pearl in the clasp looks to be a replacement. The quality of the pearls in the necklace aren't great, looks like thin nacre. I really wanted the clasp for a bracelet project, but I'm going to make a wave necklace with these pearls after...

I really enjoyed this; thanks, Jeremy, for sharing it with the email list! The Tahitian Pearl

Christies is auctioning off a good bit of the magnificent Joan Rivers collection. The first link below is a pdf of the live sale catalog. Lot 121 in the live auction catalog is particularly spectacular. About 15 years ago, I went to see an extraordinary Faberge exhibit and about a third of the...
