    Tale of taking apart two 18-inch Tahitian strands

    Pretty, pretty pearls. I love the bracelet, and that's a great idea to make an extender.

    The New York Times, Kamoka

    I can attest to their social media videos. I subscribe to Kamoka on YouTube -- short videos, usually showing a single pearl being harvested. It's a brilliant strategy and addicting. I really enjoy the underwater photography as well.

    I recently discovered an OPI Infinite Shine color called Pearlcore. It's nice, sheer, white with hints of pink and green.

    My thoughts, too, but I adored Kenneth so I am biased.

    Remember, you'll be doubling the thread.

    Where to buy good circled rice and rice krispy pearls?

    I've seen rice krispie pearls described as keshi, if that helps.

    Pearl nail polish...best color for "white" pearls? & best color for vintage faux pearls?

    OPI makes a color called Kyoto Pearl. I haven't used it on jewelry, though.

    BWeaves, how about using the mabe omega backs as dress clips, near the neckline? Or as scarf clips?

    14k clasp indication of quality or what is the worse mismatch of clasp and pearls you have seen and why is it bad?

    I agree, you want your clasp to blend with the strand, unless it's Cartier level, in which case you might wear the clasp in the front, as a focal point. I think overall, you want your clasp to be secure. Lots of people buy old pearls on eBay, solely for a pretty, vintage clasp.

    Any advice on stringing double strand of pearls?

    I have a double strand that I am working up the courage to restring. The advice here is helpful. Fortunately, I'm not designing it, only refreshing.

    Solar Eclipse Pearl can be yours!!!!

    How is this pearl still available? I was so sure someone would have snatched it up (but I'm not buying it either, so there's that). They have other Tahitians available, there's a wisp pendant that comes with matching earrings. Fun site.

    A visit to Takahashi Pearl Company

    So. Many. Pearls. I enjoyed the short video posted on YouTube, with behind the scenes footage. The gentleman sorting the pearls is amazing, he goes so quickly.

    Pearl designer question

    Listening to JTV this morning (Precious World of Pearls), and Mark Brown just said he had a stroke. I'd been wondering where he was. Since he's on tv, I guess he's recovering well but I can detect some slight speech issues. I am sending prayers in his direction.

    Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

    I, too, am really enjoying the PP live events, especially that Black Friday series. There are more events scheduled, too, if anyone needs some eye candy or gifts. I now understand the value of PP's virtual appointments, and highly recommend the process.

    What the heck are these?

    Considering the mm size, I'm guessing dyed freshwater (only because I have some in my collection). Honora did something similar, with the 14K clasp. You might look for a small script "H" on the clasp.

    Is my antique pearl engagement ring repairable?

    Jewelry and drains are mortal enemies. I recommend a new pearl to represent your new life together as a married couple. Keep the old pearl for sentimental reasons.
