Delightful souvenirs, Jeg, useful and beautiful! I'm so looking forward to seeing the earrings on you!

All so beautiful, Jeg! Thank you!

Very cool, StevieBoy! What a great gift and belated HBD! King Neptune!

Diamonds, why do you say this doesn't appear authentic?

Beautiful scenery, Jeg, and definitely an adventure! Thanks so much for taking us along with you in spirit!

I've never seen wax seals like this before; thanks very much for the photos!

Here is some useful information about vintage Mikimoto pearls : It appears to me this strand has been restrung with Griffin silk and knotted between each pearl, giving a rather heavy look. Originally only the few end pearls would have had knots between and double thread would have been used...

My heart goes out to you and your family; your Mother was indeed special.

Fascinating! The blossom earrings (findings) are always a favorite of many of us ~ any chance they'll be brought back or a similar style, Jeremy?

Getting the tension right when stringing small stacked pearls (no knots), whether for necklace, bracelet or earrings, is a challenge for the designer! I agree, looks like knots with some sort of glue at both top and bottom.

There was a problem with the sound at the beginning of Day 3 with the GSS, but after a couple of minutes the problem was resolved, so just go forward about 2 minutes. It's been great fun watching the lives and seeing the photos from the show!

Sorry to hear, Douglas, Heal quickly!

Is the dark necklace heavy? It's possible it might be a polished stone like hematite.

No, I don't sleep in my pearls or any other jewelry. Some of my pearls would be a rather large lump to sleep on! Most of our pearls these days are very good quality, having been carefully sorted. Pearls of mine over 20+ years old still have their luster and beauty, imo.

Interesting, whatever it is; I'd have picked this up too!

Catmom, your bracelet turned out perfectly! What a great discussion with so many suggestions! I've puzzled over how I'd do this, but have never actually done a black/white combo.

Thanks so much, Douglas, very helpful to have better access to the video!

Hellen, Thank you for the excellent photos. You have a lovely strand of dyed "chocolate" freshwater pearls. If you're able to wear them doubled, you might not notice the weight as much and they will make quite a statement!

Wow, is that ever good news!! :D

This severe yellowing is new to me also. I've never heard of a way to remove it. Glad to know the luster is still there. Fw pearls tend to be more ivory than SS white.
