    Screwback Earrings

    I am not sure that this will help. The picture is somewhat fuzzy because I was experimenting with taking pictures of my jewelry while I was wearing it--had to white out the background image of my contorted pose (with camera!) in the mirror...

    Erm... (Runs and Hides) I did try to restrain myself

    Fabulous pearls! As for the sale--I waited too long--had to go to a meeting (rats) just after the sales appeared. The meeting was too long---the pearls I picked were long gone! Beautiful SSs Sheryl--are they for you or just passing through? (I just read what I wrote--the rhymes were not...

    Micro-Garnet & Akoya Pearl

    A wonderful design. I love the contrast of the silver pearls with the garnets. A great choice for an enhancer--love the flexibility too! Amazing knotting job there as well.

    I borrowed my friend's beautiful neck to show off a my necklaces. She is a cousin of the legendary blues singer, Howling Wolf. You should hear her sing the blues (or anything else for that matter)--fantastic voice in the event that any of you are talent scouts!

    Wow Sheryl and Knotty. I just checked those websites. New sources of gems to covet. I have never seen the faceted rounds that are drilled to string--interesting possibilities. Thanks so much for sharing your sources--just in case I win the lottery;) Beth

    new pieces

    Thanks Miriam, Pattye, Nerida and Knotty Panda: Yes the crescents were quite tricky as were the minute SS keishi used to cover the wire on which the rubies were dropped. Oddly enough--the ruby holes became the real problem. The wire had to run twice through the holes. I tested most but not...
