I so love the octo babies!! And they way they attach, mix and match... gonna have to break down a buy a couple of those babies!!
Those shells are amazing... love them all. I'd have a hard time picking out only one, as well!

Funny shortly after I shared about CJS Supplies, I saw them tagged on a FB Blog post by a jewelry designer.
http://www.17apart.com/2013/02/secret-new-york-city-jewelry-supply.html
DAMN it looked awesome and I really want to go roll around in the pile of vintage chains and findings and supplies! But they sell only and strictly to wholesale/trade only.
If ANYONE who is in the trade (with tax IDs and such) loops through NYC and decide to pay CJS a visit, PULEASE give me a holler and lug me along!!!

OK Purr here they are 
The necklace as it is now after adding more of the white gold spacers and about 5 inches to it with pearls from Sarah (Kamoka, 3 more blue pearls), Tahiti Pearl Biz (Jose). Jose's wife rearranged the pearls where one side I wear during the winter and the side you see here I wear during the summer. I don't have a picture of me wearing the winter side. The center of that side is a 13mm bright green Tahitian with a couple of natural chocolate pearls.
The original necklace before the additions.
I first saw this pendent at the same time as the one above in 2010. It was my dream pearl. She had chosen for herself on a GIA pearl trip when she visited New Zealand and Eyris Pearls. Eyris was at the top of my wish list. Last summer she brought it to the ruckus and said she was going to sell it. I couldn't raise my hand fast enough and say sold. My dream came true.
One of the first souffle pearls. Blaire had just been to the Tuscon show and found these and wanted to show me something special. I took it to Jeremy at PP and he did the setting so it would go on the fireball strand I had just bought from him.

Kalmen I found a picture that I forgot I had of the winter side. It is the shortest strand. The big silver drop is worn in the back. There is lots of green and brown pearls on this side.

BWeaves the shells are gorgeous! Yay I have a manta ray shell on its way to me too. The other designs are also pretty, I was tempted by the hibiscus flower.
Newberry - you have a wonderfully colourful collection! I especially love your summer/winter Tahitians.

I was tempted by all of them. But I thought the Tiki (eyeball), the Hibiscus, and the Manta Ray looked so similar that I could only justify buying one. I thought the Tattoo looked enough different. And I kept being drawn to the no name one, too. The carvings I got were quite a bit different from the photos online. I'm sure it's due to different artists putting their own mark on the designs.
