Those are so beautiful! I have a question. Is the edge that is visible ouTside of the diamonds really solid black like that or do you see striations. I always thought you would see see tiny ridges if a pearl was cut in half. Pretty cool!

Thanks Lary! I don't know why the image isn't showing up. I'll try again.

Could you do something interesting on leather?

These are the pearls I was going to use for my tin cup. But I don't love them all equally. The first four after the ringed one are my favorites. The other ones I'm not as crazy about. So I'm putting it on hold till I find some that I want to add to the mix. They are supposed to have blue, or...

I'm new to wire wrapping :). I do a little silversmithing, but have never wire wrapped. I'm a little sloppy but I like the way these earrings came out. I had some 22k ear wires already that can be used with multiple earring charms. So I just had to use some gold head pins. The pearls are really...

Those are really cool! I collect regular geodes so maybe someday I will add a Little H pearl geode to my collection.

Very nice! Your daughter looks great in those pearls. Are they the peacock drops?

Thanks everyone for the helpful information :) Pattye, I'm not sure exactly what type of chain yet. But maybe a simple rolo?

Good tip. I hadn't considered that. I knew I'd find good advice here.

I will post it. And I want to see yours too!

One more question. What gauge wire should I get to put through the pearls?

A week ago I posted about finding the right pearl overtones for my eye color. Someone mentioned that I should also keep my skin tone. I'm pretty sure I found my colors for both. So I'm going to purchase 7 of the pearls I like and get started. I'm using baroque Tahitian pearls. I'm wondering...

Maybe you could find someone on etsy that does casting and already has a mold for wings. They can cast them for you in white gold.

Thank you all! I will keep those tips in mind ( skin tone, cherry overtones, etc ).

Those are gorgeous! I like the rose cut rubies. Kind of makes them look like they could have been made a hundred years ago. Of course they would have been made with abalone or something, and not Sea Of Cortez mabes. Nice!
