    My first multicolor Tahitian pearls

    Babyblue, that strand is Yummy, and it looks great on your pretty neck. I learned to knot on Tahitians - I think I re-did my first strand probably 5 times, at least - not necessarily in quick succession. As I got better, I went back & re-did it a couple times. Then I changed the clasp. Then I...

    ??Sea of Cortez Pearls??

    Ha Ha, Bweaves! Because it took me 2 years to decide on the finding and another 2 to get around to assembling it. World's slowest! Also now I have a very beautiful 22k & tourmaline finding I bought for this but didn't use. Maybe something will pop up for it at Ruckus this year, and in another...

    Some guidance on purchasing a Tahitian necklace

    I agree with Pattye - impossible to stop with one. A green Tah strand was my introduction to serious pearls. I sprang for it on impulse even though up to that point I never even imagined the term "pearl collection" might be a part if my existence. A multi strand came into my life as well...

    ??Sea of Cortez Pearls??

    I agree: even at Ruckus, Douglas' pearls can be a hard catch. I missed the impromptu pre-sale on the hood of the Tessla in 2014. That was also the year he showed an amazing strand under perfect lighting that I wanted with all my heart, but my budget just would not budge at that moment - I still...

    Newbie beader making newbie mistakes (and making things illogically harder)

    Congratulations on your rich learning experience, your darling success, and *not* having to employ a rat. I think I re-did my first project maybe 6 times. You made me snort! Elizabeth

    Who is attending the Pearl-Guide Ruckus 2016, July 29, 30, 31???

    I'm going casual too, Bweaves: for me it's about pearls, which in my lifestyle go with denims and everyday tops. I hope no one feels like they *must* dress in serious cocktail-wear. Just because there's, you know, cocktails. In a mansion. With boatloads of world-class pearls. Lol. Flip-flops...

    Queen Elizabeth's Pearls

    Much enjoyed the article. Especially enjoyed the reference to wearing pearls "at rain-sodden horse meets." An article on Queen Mary would be something, huh? Always dripping with pearls. I have a fascination with royal jewelry like some have for royals.

    De-Stash Project - Stash Bash

    Cathy, I really really like the combo of multi colored pearls with multicolored tiny gems - and love the particular colors. I confess that metallic freshwaters *always* rate highly with me. I never stop admiring them. Please don't fuss yourself about ends. I have seen some shocking ends done by...
