Thanks for the comments on my new additions! I forgot to post the 10-11mm Tahitian studs I got as well... I forget who asked, but all my studs are from PP with Erin's gracious and patient help. :) The Edison strand I got from TPO after it vanished on PP's website (and my shopping cart!)...

Stop me before I buy again.... Stop me before I buy again.... Hi everyone! I've been really sick the last few days so no ear or neck shots....but here are a couple of quick snaps of my latest purchases! The 8.5-9mm multicolor Edison necklace just arrived today (the colors are amazing on these...

So elegant BWeaves! I do love photos of everyone's pearls. <3

Kind of a crappy taken-too-fast picture, but here is my new-just-arrived-today Kamoka mana necklace (with a sweet 12.7mm pearl that Josh picked out for me :D) along with a tahitian keshi necklace from Care Ehret that I got a couple of years ago. The earrings are 10mm silvery white SSP I bought...

I make sure all my jewelry cloths are clean -- this is good advice as dust is abrasive and that's the last thing I'd want to do with pearls! :eek: Hm...haven't used the wet hand method, but have been using a clean, moist cloth -- I like your suggestions better and will try it. Thanks!

It's interesting to me how sometimes some pearls change and others don't. I don't have many pearls (yet, heh!) but only noticed this one pearl's difference. And when I did I thought this was the right place to come and ask. I'm glad I did. I value everyone's input and patience with me. I do...

That's really good advice, Pearlescence. I wash my glasses like that so I just did that with my earrings as a test to see if that would help. The subtle change in color and luster for this one Freshadama pearl is still visible to me, though... Ella

Hm, you know, the cottonballs that I moisten and wipe my jewelry with are made of actual cotton and very soft. I only use one at a time, then toss it. Really, they are as soft as the cloth I use (the nice one PP sends with orders) so I can’t imagine they’d scratch anything. Especially since I...

Interesting. I will go find and read that thread. Thanks for the input! (I've got some catching up to do here for sure. :) )

Hi everyone — Long time no post — (well, not that I posted a lot to begin with being the perennial lurker that I am…) I’ve been thinking a lot about pearls lately and just placed an order with PP for some Tahitian studs, and have a custom mana necklace (to mark a personal milestone) from Josh...

Oh it looks like so much fun! Love love love the photos of everyone. :) I really need to not chicken out and go next year...

I'd really love to go to the ruckus - I watched the videos from previous years and it looked so elegant and like so much fun! But I don't know anyone and am more than just a bit of a wallflower... I can barely bring myself to comment on threads... (but I do read everything).

Thank you! They have such character! I got them from Catherine Cardellini.

Today's pearls... Today's pearls... Mmm. Pondslime. These are so darn hard to photograph...they change color depending on the light. And my new metallic studs!

Wow...that octopus is one heck of a gorgeous showstopper! Loooove this thread! :)
