thanks guys! i am now pottering around designing my next piece. i am hunting for vintage clasps at the moment and thinking of a princess length three strands, or even a five-strand!!! so, looks like i have to hunt for more baroques since i do not like small pearls and i can't afford the large...
i think the teacher meant it in an ethical sense. i grew up in a society where atheism was illegal and i think culturally spiritual beliefs were imbeded in its fabric so much so that lingo like "god" and "sin" were interspersed in such a natural way that somehow it ceased to imply religious...

how do we say to merchants which we want other than by cutting and pasting pictures...? what if we do not have any pics...? this is what i...
i have recently shifted slowly, very slowly, from oogling perfect rounds (AAA) to baroques (but still want freshadamas!!). now. do we call the more roundish baroques (longish but still roundish with smooth curves) "baroque" too? because they are not perfectly round? or is there a different term...
ah. at least the whole thing is consumed. thanks josh and slraep for that info.
i still remember what my primary school teacher said, the whole animal must be used/consumed for it not to be sinful.
and now, i add an additional personal criteria: they shouldn't suffer in the process. and then...
i always wonder about what happened to the molluscs after their pearls are harvested... i just assumed they were eaten... maybe not?
don't we use them as food? are they not edible? oh, i am a bit upset now... (since i just stopped eating shark's fins and foie gras - don't ask). i hope they do...
i wouldn't mind taking a peek at your pearls too. i live in singapore and am actually relatively close to some of these pearl producing / whole-selling countries. but never have enough nerve to buy them myself! you might just inspire me to be a bit more adventurous in the future :p
but i love...
while mulling over my large triple strand freshwaters i ordered double strand white freshwater baroques on impulse. hopefully they will be LARGE (asking for 12 mm, what else :D )
anyone has a pic of their multistrand FWP baroques? or several strands of them worn together which you can show?
anybody? 11 mm or 12 mm white/silver AAA freshwater in triple strand is what i am after.
anyone here from "pearls by angela carol"? "pearl distributors"? "pure pearls"?
anybody know who has extensive freshwater AAA pearls sizes 10 mm - 12 mm who may be willing to string them in triple strand...
hiya jeremy
for the 3 strand, i am only looking for AAA because of the price element. i don't think i can afford freshadamas for a 11 mm or 12 mm triple strand!
HOWEVER, i am STILL waiting for you to restock on the 11mm or 12 mm FRESHADAMA for a SINGLE strand choker :)
i have tried to contact...
hi there.
i am new here and also new to the forum.
anyone know where to find 12 mm freshwater AAA? i am thinking of having them in a 3 strand. do you think it is a bit much? i am about 110 pounds and 5'5''
most sites i have seen stock up to 10 mm or 11 mm and some only went up to AA+ for...
