Lovely work--quite an accomplishment! Congratulations.

Oh Oh Oh!! Beadweaver, Catlin, and Pattye these are SO beautiful. I was out of the country when that special was offered. With very poor internet access during that period, I had a few tantalizing glimpses--but the connection was never good enough (or long enough) to take advantage of the...

Oh rats! I love those but can no longer wear pierced earrings for medical reasons--not fair!

Hi: Yes I actually purchased one from them last year. I just finished a necklace using the pearl as a centerpiece in a suite of necklaces featuring unusual and unexpected stones (with this pearl). I will post them in lowly beaders. I was pleased with my purchases and the paua pearl cam with...

Hi Josh--I have indirectly purchased your beautiful pearls. I have more on my list. Good luck. May we all weather this Gargantuan financial hurricane intact.

Hi Blaire--Lovely, unique art. My husband, who was a biology professor, once had a colleague who wore a pin that was a live hissing cockroach on a chain. No jewels or pearls but it did keep his students awake!

Hello and thanks for some very thought provoking information. It is very generous to share your knowledge with this forum. Pearl guide has opened a whole new world to me. I just wanted to check my "logic" here. Am I correct in inferring that the 40 colors of Chinese pearls to which Dr. Stern...

Here is one that I coveted after seeing it and a collection of William Ruser pieces with fabulous MS. river pearls in New Orleans at the M.S. Rau shop. http://www.rauantiques.com/29-0550.html

FABULOUS! So many beautiful pieces-- I have Eyris envy. The ring is a killer, and those black diamonds with that spectacular Tahitian--oh to die for. Is it okay if I am jealous? Beth

Super! Now to be totally enthralled put them all on your wrist--just do not cross any streets!

Really delicious! Yum. Beautifully done.

just stunning--you look great wearing them!

Well now I am really inspired--not sugarplums but rubies, emeralds, and Tahitians dancing in my head tonight! Sueki--that is "eat with a spoon" fabulous! What a pearl--what a combination! Maryd--You are off to a great start. The keishi necklace is beautiful--keishis are the reason that I...

Thanks Skypearl, Blaire, Nerida, and Bernadette! I am now fantasizing about some really super Tahitians! Humm--I have some nice ruby beads. I wonder how Tahitians would look with rubies--or maybe emeralds --or---????. Something to dream about at any rate! Peace, Beth

Thanks so much Boo, Pattye and Caitlin: Earth and sky--that may be a better description of the nature of the necklace. Peace, Beth

Spectacular! Beautiful!

Hi beaders! I finally had a chance to make another necklace that has been in my head for a long time. It is different and somewhat autobiographical to the extent that even as a young child I loved rocks. My love affair with gem "rocks" continues to grow. In this necklace, I used some rough...

Yes indeed, the forum provides a wonderful chance to find new pearl passions and to be inspired by the creativity and skill of others. I am actually a fairly new beader but for a long time have collected (hoarded??) gemstones( especially beads). I would take them to a dear friend who was a...

Hi Boo and Blaire, and thanks. Boo, I have been lusting over your new Tahitians and your fwp, Tahitian combination too. I am definitely saving my pennies (well, more than that I hope) for some like that--you convinced me--they are definitely at the top of my list!

Hi Blaire: You have been so kind to comment on some of my pieces. I can tell that you are very knowledgable about gemstones of all types. I have been "into" gems for years and have just recently become a big fan of pearls. I notice that you are listed as an author. Have you written about...
