I would love to learn. I am pretty handy with a needle and thread--I have done sampler stitching in my life. I have no reason not to do it. I have a souffl? strand right now that broke so I really should try.

Also I should say it was amazing to watch the person knotting them! Pattye I know this is your specialty but I had never seen it before. She was so fast and was standing up!

I am all about the fun Pattye! 💃 Thank you Katbran for your nice comments. I bet this will be the souvenir that gets the most use.

Yay! Thanks for replying Pattye! I picked the figure 8 clasp. They only had silver in larger sizes. I am so happy. I was not looking for the deal of the century. This was more to test my own eye and have a souvenir in the process. I have only ever received pearls as gifts before or ordered...

I am visiting Manila and went to the infamous Greenhills pearl market. I wanted a souvenir, knowing full well they are all freshwater pearls from China, even though the vendors said they were from the Philippines. I asked for the best quality and was shown large 10-11mm freshwaters from behind...

Thanks for the continued reinforcement! I hope to eventually dress them down too.

Oh, I hope she does. Very, very pretty. The inner strand looks goldeny/champagne.

OK, if two P-G ladies tell me to wear them, how could I not? BAS, you make me smile with your enthusiasm, which comes right off the screen. I am quite tall, at 5'9'' and over 40, so I think I look much better in bigger pearls anyway. I cannot wait to get this set, and will post pics of the...

Thanks so much for your opinion!

Me too! It's very flattering on as well. I don't have a picture of the super souffles because I don't have them yet. I'm getting a strand, bracelet and earrings in white. They are *big* pearls. You can see the idea on the link Jeremy posted earlier...

May I please have opinions on wearing the super souffle set with this dress? I'm going to a wedding in Wales and love the dress. Are the souffles too much...

It is all personal preference. For myself, I like shorter strands to touch. 24" and up, I prefer some space.

I absolutely will. Thank you again. I saw pictures of your super souffle strand and it completely inspired me. Just beautiful.

Ok, I am enabled. I'm going to be getting a super souffle set. Thanks for helping me understand the difference in souffles.

Thanks everyone and Jeremy especially for the quick answer. I had e-mailed back to ask about the size because they seemed so expensive, but posted here too as I hadn't heard back yet. The forums are so quick. Anyway, I am sure a super-souffle strand would be amazing, but I don't think that...
