:D I like it too! I like that something special is often created without using some specific skills (like goldsmithing techniques etc). It is all in the great idea really. Lovely necklace!! Maria

How exciting! Beautiful places and pictures!

I love the Geoffrey Brown's bracelet! It really speaks to me. The earrings are also great. I have used similar idea once, making earrings for a friend. Took me a lot of time. I thought it would be max an hour job :). These were smaller silver rings and not that full of pearls. Maria

Beautiful necklace! And the great color variety! ;) Maria

Yes, I remember reading the tread, where somebody used and explained the Spanish jajaja. The Estonian "ja" is pronounced almost like "ya" (in yard for example). Even if you remembered the village name your stepfather's grandparents lived in and it could be found, there may have not been...

Fascinating! Thank you for the info Caitlin! How deep should one dive to find oysters there? I "lived" a lot under water when I was child, but lately have not found getting very salty sea water into my eyes extremely pleasant thing. LOL, I can float very well too. Still would dive just for fun...

Ooo, I can see Madonna and Child too. Amazing pearl!! Ca how many mm tall, the little statue is? Maria

Oohhh, fabulous!! Just love the first one! I bet wearing it on a darkest, rainy, cold day would make it feel like on a most wonderful, happiest day ever... It must of taken a lot of work. But the outcome is worth it ;) Maria

Got to just search Mikeyy's posts in this forum and the great mood is guaranteed! Thanks for interesting reading, Caitlin! ...And I love the idea of the new technology bath-tube or some tiles in my bathroom! Maria

Ouch... these are too painful to watch! :D Maria

I had exactly the same thought :). The pearls are so sweet! The spacer with some black stones would defenetely make the pearl colors pop. Just lovely! Maria

Ooh, I am suddenly getting hungry. Can't get any of that authentic here, got to settle for something different :) I love the necklace (third pic)!!! ..and some rings and the pendant... :D Maria

Good for you! ;) It would be really great to see your pics from the trade fair. Maria

Maybe they are "on wire" or have some small "swarowsky" kind of beads in between the pearks. Does not show on that light and black background :) Maria

Have fun! Looking forward for the beautiful pics ;)

Ooo, great pearls! Defenetly heavy, I could not wear them though :) I do agree that the model should be a little more mature, elegant person. Pearls that size just scream fake on that young girl. Maria

Great that you are selling the bracelets well! Having them done overseas is another story regarding costs ;) ... only question for me would be quality control. You have got to have good partner. How did the trade fair go? Maria

Dear Nora, Yes, paintings pop up every year claimed to be Leonardo's. The one I saw in Tallinn, was worth in dept research, but is not verified yet. The painting was discovered in Lucania, Italy, in Dec 2008. Can you imagine, the family used the portrait as a tray for glasses until an art...

Hi Nora, I am art lover myself, but my knowledge is minimal :). I was interested if you have any opinions or have discussed with the art industry people about the "Da Vinci portrait" (the Lucania portrait)? As it was in Tallinn for a week in February, I had a chance to see it. Any possibility...

Nice new album! Do the multi-row bracelets sell well? I was thinking of making some as well, but people do not want to understand that a 4-row bracelet equals ca 2-row necklace (as many pearls, same amount of work) and usually would not cost less. So we have only made multi-row bracelets when...
