I have my grandfather's manual typewriter. I love it. Simpler times.

Do you say that because the luster appears poor?

I love those! So easy. I wonder if you could use the tiny DDS brush and some Wright's Silver Cream -- the cream would give you more control, and paired with the tiny brush you could keep it away from the pearls.

I learned something today. Thanks!

jhai004 -- I think we've got a duplicate topic running, under "Can someone help me identify and can give me an estimated market price"

I was actually going to suggest golden Akoyas! Seriously! I'm glad you love them, and your pain has been eased somewhat.

Knock knock. Who’s there? Margarita.* Margarita who? Margarita — take things with a pinch of salt… and a slice of lime. (*Not to be confused with Pinctada margaritifera)

I guess it depends on whether you wear makeup; I like a nice, glowy blush or highlighter. Another thought, PSS (Pearl Shrinkage Syndrome, iirc). Just as most people prefer round, some prefer larger pearls, too.

I believe that pearls not used for jewelry are ground up into cosmetics. Perhaps the south sea mollusks are disinclined to produce keshi?

Did you hate the pearl?

That's an interesting clasp. It sort of reminds me of hoof nippers (I am not a farrier, just have weird associations).

Well, I'm certainly not buying if someone asks, "that's cute, what is it?" and no one can decide. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I agree that the fourth (dark gray, long tusks) is a walrus.

Now I'm thinking harp seal.

I think it's a sea otter? At first I thought maybe dolphin but the nose is too short.

I think I like your "inspired by" creation better than the original. Really beautiful. Let us all rejoice that wrinkles don't hurt. ;)
