Happy milestone birthday, Pattye. You look full of joie de vivre!

Thanks SydK, Charlotta, Bridie, Jeg and 86Corvettegirl! SydK - agree that torsades can be tricky re: formality. I do particularly like the last Tahitian one you posted, very striking. Jeg - always love the colour palettes you create with you clothes and pearls. BWeaves - love your classy whites...

Like Incik Boncuk and Bailey, I check out this thread most days, and am always delighted even if I don't post a comment. Thanks everyone for your inspirational images. Jeg, those unique shoulder dusters have a wonderfully fresh colour palette and variety of textures. BWeaves, your new ombre...

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. There's so much to catch up on! SydK: I think drop shapes are my favourite now, too. You have a lovely variety of drop pendants. And your new fireball is very lustrous! Jeg: That Kojima golden SS pendant is a stunner. The white SS rope is lovely too...

Everyone looks great, as usual. 86Corvettegirl: fierce clasp! Frost Me: so shiny! Jeg: both strands are beautiful. Love the mixed sizes in the longer strand. The pastel strand is unusual and delicate. BWeaves: you have some enviable pendants and I'm looking forward to seeing the Snowman...

Congratulations on your engagement, Avolin! Your ring is supremely elegant. I really like the lower profile of the button shape. Did you end up sourcing the pearl yourself?

Very pretty, SydK. Would you consider treating us to a neck shot? :)

Thank you, Pattye. Knotting is fun, I'm a convert!

Thank you, SydK and Narcissa. It always fascinates me how our perception of Tahitian colours is so dependent on the surroundings. And thank you to Bernadette for the beading materials - great service!

I impulsively bought this silvery-pink Tahitian pearl some time ago and then later acquired these silver Tahitian keshi. Thought I would combine them with Beaders' Secret in Candy. This was my first attempt at knotting and I've since re-done the strand with tighter knots. The pearls look...

They look fab, Asurazzy, fit for a mermaid princess!

IrisSL, your white pieces are classic and sweet. By the way, Kamoka Pearls is currently having a pendant sale. I see someone has already snapped up the amazing-looking 14.8mm peacock pendant! Lovely pearls, everyone. Gemandpearllover, the Drama strand looks great against your fair hair and...

Those gold pieces are intricate and pretty. And I agree with Pattye - your pendant is striking and much more interesting than the average pearl pendant.

Thank you, AzFlyGirl and Incik Boncuk. Incik, I know what you mean about looking at them least once a day, even if you don't put them on...Tahitians seem to be hypnotic! Which of your strands is getting the most wear so far - I'm guessing The Standout? They're all lovely though. The overtones of...

That's lucky, Katbran. Maybe I should reduce my future risk by buying pearls from you :)
