    restringing- how often is too often?

    Hi guys. Im just wondering if restringing is hard on pearls. I have a couple of strands that I have been adding to quite regularly as I am hand picking pearls. The more pearls I get, the more I want! I think that I am finished, then I see a new beautiful pearl somewhere. Because every few weeks...

    My Pastel Tahitians

    I finally found pearls to add to my blue Tahitian strand. I loved the color of the pearls but wanted the necklace to be a little longer than its 18" length and found that I needed more color, more variety. I purchased 27 Rikitea pearls to add and committed to restring these myself. I have a lot...

    Shape?

    I think they can all be beautiful but I prefer smooth drops, or smooth drops and rounds for earrings.
