    Cees found me another treasure, a new golden south sea strand!

    Since transforming my other good deep golden strand into two wavestrands I have been wanting a new good golden south sea strand, only not so small. The now wavestrand has rather small pearls, about 7-8mm and I wanted something bigger. I asked Cees if he had any good strand and did he ever. He...

    My rainbow strand!

    My rainbow strand has arrived! Most of you don't know what I am rambling about (again, imagine how much I can ramble in my birth language), but during a conversation with Cricketbug in August in my "My Pearls" tread I got the idea of making a rainbow strand with 10mm pearls. I asked Wendy at...

    Akoya redos

    Years ago I bought a lot of vintage akoyas. Some I gifted to familymembers some I kept for myself. Not all of them were in great condition, some had worn pearls and some strand were broken.

    My multicolor tahitians/Rikitea Gambier strand from Cees

    I bought my first, probably not last pearls from Cees. He was so nice and I love my new strand. I told him that I wanted a colorful high luster strand of tahitians on the smaller side, 8-10mm, and that I wasn't to concearned with roundness or some flaws. This is Cees pictures: These are mine...

    Are the small pearls in vintage akoya strands bead nucleated?

    I have a fair amount of old akoya necklaces, mostly ones I bought broken and then fixed. Whenever I restring these I am always amazed at the amount of really small akoyas, around 3 mm. In some of my necklaces there are not many bigger pearls, they are just very graduated. Most of them...
