Interesting interpretation of the classic pearl necklace by Tasaki. The OCD in me is dismayed that the halves don't match but part of it is because the outside has an extra half pearl to encourage it to drape and highlight the split.

A low for pearl dying. https://www.etsy.com/listing/112589862/aa-freshwater-pearls-70-80mm-tail-pearl?ref=shop_home_active_66

I love Queen Sonja's pearls at State Banquet in Norway! The combination of different sizes makes it quite modern and fresh, in my opinion.

Hey guys! I wonder if anyone can help me. My usual source for freshies let me down on my last order and I need a pearl to match this one. It is a freshwater pearl that tends to the golden side of peach, not the pink. I have been looking through all the usual sites but all the peaches are all...

*sigh* What can I say. other than "Please restring this baby!" Early 20th Century Certified Natural Saltwater Pearl and Ruby Necklace https://www.1stdibs.com/jewelry/necklaces/drop-necklaces/early-20th-century-certified-natural-saltwater-pearl-ruby-necklace/id-j_2929623/#0

Carved pearl chain by Lin Cheung - aye or nay?

*sigh* I am still trying to figure out a clasp for a large Tahitian bracelet. Every clasp type just seems awkward to use (I am a cuff girl, personally). So, what kind of clasp do you guys prefer? Toggle, a substantial hook, box, something else?

I originally bought this half strand to make pendants and drops. But they kept whispering in my ear about becoming a bracelet. So, I played with them for a bit. The largest would have to be removed since it is rather dull and doesn't fit in well. So, what do you guys think? A big honker...

The description says South Sea but they look a lot like freshwater to me. https://www.etsy.com/listing/95135781/superb-radiant-big-white-tahitian-south?utm_source=Pinterest&utm_medium=PageTools&utm_campaign=Share If it helps, the price originally was $199.

I know I haven't been around (for a variety of reasons, interacting with people has become really, really hard) but I hope this will earn me a little forgiveness...

I have been experimenting with different knotting materials, to see if I can find any cool effects. Here are two that I liked. These are all inexpensive freshies that I had half a strand here, a few pearls there, so I put them to good use in experimental pieces. The nicer ones will get donated...

There isn't much information but I thought these were breathtaking. Can you imagine a very large pearl with the leaves design, hanging from a long gold chain? http://ashadedviewonfashion.com/2015/03/08/karafuru-maki-e-pearl-musee-des-arts-decoratifs/

I know this isn't much considering everything in the Ruckus, but I just got my first Tahitian strand. They are multicolored circled drops, 8-10mm. The lightbox does make the colours too bright, but the colours include silvers, bronzes, greens, purples and two curious yellow pearls. I...

I accidentally nicked this pearl while tightening the collar that holds it. I guess that means I get to keep it. Ah, conflicting incentive structures.

You know you want to. How can you resist? So get your pearls, gemstones and end caps ready for some Roaring 20's (or grandma's parlour) fun. Some inspiration threads: https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?10154-My-new-Revenge-Victoria-Grayson-strand!!!&highlight=tassel...

This forum bears full responsibility for these. You guys finally pushed me to experiment with pearl tassels and what fun it was. These are the first pair. I am working on a pair of shoulder dusters and a couple of pendants as well. You've created a monster. There may be a my own take on a...

When I saw this large pearl, I fell in love. Beautiful colours, large size and not too tall. The obvious decision was to set it as a pendant but I wanted something a bit more different. Since the size and shape were perfect, it became a big, bold ring. Not my usual style, but I am pleased with it.

Ok, I admit that I decided to try my hand at buying pearls on eBay. How did I do on my first attempt? 14mm by 11m by 11mm Slight pink overtones that the photos don't show well.

Rio Grande is offering a 20% discount on Galatea pearls. The Tahitians are $80 each (9mm) and $88 (10mm), the freshwaters are about half of that.

Marianne Hunter latest piece is just gorgeous. She will be showing it at the Palm Beach Fine Craft Show Feb 26-28. I wish I could be there to see it in person, as it must be even more amazing.
