Hi Catlin, Your efforts are appriciated. Can't wait to hear back from you on this. Esther

Hi, I'm a big fan of Bella Findings as well. They don't have any white ones ('D' or 'E') allready for a couple month.

Hi Catlin, Where could I obtain the 'Australian thread Kay-Bee' here in the US. Who is 'Sarah of Kojima' and which is the brand of the Japanese synthetic thread and let us please know where is it is available. Thanks, Esther

Hi Darla, "I did try the Pearl Silk which is polyester(not labeled had to call) from Rio Grande and I did not like the way it worked, really wanted to twist and bunch up when pulling through the Freshwaters." I think the Rio Grande thread is 100% silk. That's what it says in their catalog...

Griffind versas Gudebrod Griffind versas Gudebrod Hi Darla, You are an the ball. Griifin is not as fine as the Gudebrod ones. But I must say that after you restring the pearls you can't really see the diffrence so much. But I must say that the Griffin thread is mighty strong and after...

Gudebrod is over Gudebrod is over I'm just confirming what I suspected when I wrote my first post on this subject that gudebrod just layed off all their workers and closed their doors for now. I'm really sad about it and hope it is thruh that they are trying to reopen as soon as possible.:mad...

Hello, I'm very sad since I learned today that the Gudebrod Company put a hold on manufactoring their silk thread called 'Champion' the one that most pearl and bead restringer use. Especially the most common sizes of thread like 'E' of 'F' are totally out of stock, not to be get anywhere even...

Hi Catlin, Sometimes to use soap could be risky because some of them could acctually run the pearls by drying them out. But they could get a special pearl cleaning solution from let say Hagerty that I had used for about 500 strands of pearls or they even could get one at Target that I think...

the seller said it's 11mm natural white pearls I think in general to use the word NATURAL is not right to use because NATURAL only means when no interaction of an human being was involved. Most pearls today are cultered like we all know. Let me know if you agree.

Idea what to do with this necklace Idea what to do with this necklace I do restringing alot, and many times if something is to short we get a chain in sterling silver or in gold and attached to both ends and put some nice beads between pearls. Maybe you want to try that.

Thanks for your replying. I had ordered A bunch of loose pearls for simple earrings, And at the end where the hole had to be, it was litterly cut off, so no earring cup would cover theh Pearl nicely. Alot of them had terrible colors, just not to axept.

I'm trying to get hold about a hinged clasp used for pearl neckles, also called Pearl shortner, and also called Applaudere by A-Z. I got hold of them on 47 St. In NEW YORK, but i'm sure some one would know to get them some where alse for cheaper. AAlso i would like to know the exect name for it...

Hi Caitlin, I appriciate your support to my sittuation, and that's why this website is so impotant, that pear dealers should be able to share their infos.

I would like everyone to know to be careful by puchasing pearls in china from online, like Topearl.com because they aren't honest with they products the way they apper online and the way you will get them! When i wanted to send them back to china they told me to write so & so on the packge, and...

it is impossible to get the piece out if it brook off.
