Congratulations! The pearls and your design were beautiful

Thank you :)

lol, thank you! I actually only realized they looked like mouse ears after I finished firing the ring. I'm working on my next ring right now so I may some more photos next week.

Seems I'm not as tech savvy as I thought as it took me aaages to figure out how to resize my photos. And my cropped areas have shown up as big black margins for some reason :confused: But thank you for your help Caitlin!

Hi purlgurl, I tried! I kept getting an error message that my file was too big so I had to keep resizing and resizing. Does anyone know if there's a way to get around this?

I've finally gotten around to putting up pictures of my first silver pearl ring :p (I finished it back in May). It's not perfect but I'm still fond of it. If you look closely from the sides you can see a bit of a gap between the pearl and metal that shouldn't be there and hopefully won't be...

Are the prices lower because culturing the pearls has become more efficient?

Yes but it's extremely rare. Who needs mm sizes when you have rarity?

Ohh, a pearl clip! That's genius :) I'll have to get one of those.

Boo, I love the torsade look! How do you get it on though? Did you twist it first or did you put it on then twist?

I'm in! I'm working on a rope right now (matching the colors) that I'd planned to make 6ft but I'm going to go the full 100 inches instead.

Anyone else seen it yet? I think I actually preferred the older one. There's a new monthly special up too but I'm going to wait for the mother's day sale before I make any decisions. PS I'm not a troll :p

Thanks. Now I know what to ask for when I'm shopping. Are they very uncommon or will I be able to get some without too much hunting?
