    Incoming semi-baroque Tahitians for beading

    Sorry for the delay in replying - I was out of town at a conference (and yes I did bring those pearls!). Without a personal computer, my typing skills are terrible on my phone. LOL, and beside the feverish stringing while packing to leave, I was advising my oldest (adult) son on how to be a...

    What kind of cultured pearls are these?

    These look like a akoya to me.

    Ok so as long as nobody looks too closely, I’m good. I may pay to have them professionally knotted in the future. I appreciate so many supportive messages! The Serafill was so much easier! I still had some struggles, but I did use an awl and that got me pretty close most of the time. I’ll take...

    Dame Helen in Pearls

    Wow, she is absolutely wonderful in pearls! The baroque (South Sea? Freshwater?) huge pearls have such a queen vibe. They have such a fantastic presence.

    I ordered Pattye's teal and storm. I had storm at home, but it was too fine a thread for the holes. I found some number 6 silk and...well....tried to do that as practice and that was a hot mess and somehow managed to create a knot I never wanted. I cut the pearls free. They were definitely in...

    They arrived. I do like them, but they look different than all the other pictures. They have pro dust between them, which is OK. I just need to do a little cleanup before stringing.

    I have a few untreated turquoise beads from druzydesign1 on Etsy I am considering adding them to one of my "starter" baroque T strands and using bright blue (Cyan) thread. I have seen this done elsewhere. Bad pic from vendor - hubby is sleeping so can't grab the beads from the jewelry box :)

    Blue Akoya? What a lovely strand! I followed my new strand on the CMW website https://cmwpearls.com/products/tahitian-pearl-necklace-nl1803-lp5 Much darker... funny how Ts can be so moody. They may not be super silver after all. Following them pearl by pearl in each picture, they are the same...

    Once again I really appreciate the photos. Very helpful. Beautiful pearls! Looking at the necklaces I see what you mean, it is a small knot so smaller impact in general, but I can see the difference. This is reassuring that most probably any of the greys or blues would do well.

    Oh my gosh, @jeg the pearls are gorgeous! Love the color selection. The teal choice is absolutely beautiful. The pearl colors in the second bracelet with the green tones beige/tan are fantastic! The ringed pearls are also just chef's kiss. I have a collection of serafil, although do not know...
