Seems to me the author of the article was getting creative here.

I don't recall Strack saying this in her book, so I'm wondering also, Ennui.

M.Hoze,

A lovely inheritance to treasure! Having the documentation as you do is very helpful. Are you wanting the appraisal for insurance purposes?
The necklace appears well kept and the...

Jaspers are so interesting and beautiful; so pleasant to touch, too, a "worry bead" to reduce stress! Do you wear this doubled, Linda? Great job on the knotting and design of alternating size...

You're so welcome, Douglas and Lisa!

Wonderful examples, PD, beautiful daughter in beautiful pearls! I prefer these drop shapes to rounds, too.

Aoi,

My D-I-L called me yesterday, "OMG, your pearl guy, Josh, is on NPR! We're in the car listening to him!"

Here's the awesome interview, photos and article ~

First off, NOT an expert here, but it is a fun question, figuring out what direction to go with necklaces. It might be helpful to know about the rest of your coloring, hair and eyes. Do you have an...

A gorgeous choice, SP, your photos show the luster and colors perfectly!

Lol, Douglas, you did make me giggle with your description of the garment! Ordering the book right now!

BWeaves and EP, thank you; I was curious about Kamala's necklace, too, and knew someone here would have identified the designer! It was gorgeous and perfect for her! Her earrings appeared to be...

That would have been AWFUL to see, Lisa, nobody in our family saw it happen. Fortunately, Carlos slowly healed and lived 4 more years! I should have finished my story ~ we need happy endings these...

EH,
Oh, so lovely! You definitely have a great pearl "eye!"

What a fun adventure, Lisa; please keep sharing! We have a large variety of birds here on the West Coast, but the ones that come through my yard never sit still long enough to be id'ed either! A...

Oh, La La!! Gorgeous and lustrous pearls; I love how you've tucked the pendant underneath and made it your personal style!

Welcome Bodhi,
I agree with Pearl Dreams. The Hanadama report specifically describes the perfection of the individual strand one is purchasing. My other thought is that 2 pearls might have been...

You now have a great conversation piece and good luck charm!

Douglas and Linda,

Cortez Pearls to treasure; I love them all!! Thank you so much for the photos!

Yes, Lady_D, I remember seeing this unusual pearl also! Probably our newer members haven't seen it before, though.

What a great look, PGB2, especially how perfectly the pearl pendant sits just inside the line of the blouse. I like that it's large (or perhaps the actor is tiny)? Are you able to estimate what...

This is a most unusual pearl! Thank you and Happy New Year, Cyrille!

Beautifully done knotting, Cam, and I wish you the best with your stringing business plans! What fabulous WSS and multi-color potpourri rope! It sounds like you are in the perfect location!

I do...

Lovely combination, Linda! I'm "buy what I love & design it later" type also, lol! Great shape and luster on the keshi!

These beauties suit my taste also, Lilpearl! Enjoy!
