I am picking and choosing earring pairs right from the photo.................

OK, I am ordering white gold beads for it, will post the done deal when it's a done deal. Thank you all for your suggestions, encouragement, & enthusiasm! Elizabeth

Absolutely love this strand! I would have loved to waltz away in it from the Ruckus. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy it! Elizabeth

*insanely great* Elizabeth

OK, here is the next mock-up, with 2mm plated beads I had from eons ago, just to see how it would look and what it would do for length. I like it! It went from a fairly chokey choker to 22". The silver adds a little sparkle too, without flash.

OH MY oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my Elizabeth

Oh thank you everyone! I just love breaking out of my own thinking. I extrapolate easily but that tends to be logical trajectory rather than creative expression. Pearl Dreams - I like the beadalon idea, and am putting some silver and gold on my order list. Lady_D - wow thank you for the...

I went through Bags O' Stuff. Found these rectangle faceted aquamarines, realized I have had them almost 20 years. Put them together into a necklace. Needed something to make it long enough - why, yes, Pearls of course. Didn't like any pearls for it from what I had on hand. Wanted to make it...

Of all the threads in all the forums on all the internet........ I keep looking through these pics. I confess I have a case of thinking almost whatever pearl I'm looking at is wonderful, but seriously, Sea of Cortez pearls reliably cause a physical reaction. And lasting effect. Elizabeth

Oh I am really liking the look of that. Thanks for the peeks into the process. Elizabeth

I thought these were the most creative, elegant, and innovative thing I've seen in a long time. Seeing them live, with movement and light playing on the little jewels lining the pearls - ahhhhhhh. Elizabeth

I showed them to my Darling and he doesn't recognize them as Arabic. Yes! They look very lovely on Daisy - lucky girl! Elizabeth

One of my favorite moments at the Ruckus was hearing a story from Josh's wife Celeste. She reminded us how restrictive the Tahitian government is about pearls that are marketed, or even taken out of the country. There is a reputation to uphold! Consequently, there was a bucket of pearls that...

Ruckus 2014 treasures - Douglas's Sea of Cortez drops. Lynsey at Pearl Paradise half-drilled them and put in pegged loops, on suggestion of Marianne, who said I could then wear them over diamond hoops. But Marianne, I am still waiting for the diamond hoops to appear. :8 And 11-12mm Pearl...

CathyKeishi, I just love your tales of your grandson's pearl initiation. So nice to meet you in person, and your pretty playthings too! Elizabeth

A truly wonderful account of the 2014 Ruckus! Thank you ladies for documenting it in words and pics. And a huge Thank You to Jeremy and Hisano - your ideas, energy, generosity, and hospitality set you both in a pearly constellation along with legends and demi-gods. Elizabeth

Thank you for posting pics! I <3 metallics

Just used Beader's Secret for the first time, with new-to-me 2 strand knotting (big thank you to Marianne for showing me the different clasp attachment this requires at the beginning of the strand). Back-knotted 3, used a drop of superglue -OOPS- way too much, made a glob, cut it apart and...

Baby Nurse, I admire your taste in models. Up to this point, I thought I was the only member to show my pearls with farm animals! (horse pics, same thread, a couple years ago). The inspiration and attraction of feather colors comparing to pearls is something that could be explored a little...

Really like the shape, and delicious colors. Any idea what to do with it yet?
