I see endless opportunities!

Wow. What a thrill to be able to enjoy this thread again! Jeg, I still adore your pearl/clothing combos. I'll have to take a deep dive back in time to see what I missed.

Greetings, and thanks for responding. :) I didn't mean to post a message and then disappear! I was thinking that I was getting caught up with the to-dos, but I am still working a long list of stuff for Mom, who will be 93 next month, and trying to work in my own stuff. We've done many doctor...

Greetings and hugs all around! I have escaped the vortex that was my job and hope to be enjoying time here on a regular basis. Lovely people of Pearl-Guide, I have missed you so much. Hugs, Blaire

Sharing in the sorrow. What a fabulous human! My heart aches for Ira and for all of you who were touched by his presence. Fortunately, he left us many happy memories. Hugs to all.

Wow, what a great idea! :)

Pearlie Sue, I would wear that around my house in my jammies, or anything, just to be able to wear it. But you would need to have a mirror handy to really enjoy it while wearing. :)

I ran across this wonderful photo of Empress Eugenie's tiara. Apologies if this has already been posted. I'm treating myself to some Pearl Guide time. :)

She probably fell in love with that clasp and had her pearls redone with it. :)

The appearance of this piece supports the supposition that the pearls are natural. I have a few dainty natural pearl pins and I have given the starburst type as gifts because the pearls are set more deeply and less likely to be dislodged. I wear this type of pin up high on my collar tips, upper...

Love bird pearls. We need a closeup of the necklace! :)

Good for you to own such a lovely treasure!
