If a woman bought it.....:cool:....Hmmm....I heard of someone named Lillie Axelrod who was a hard-driving bulldog of a business woman who was closing deals on her cell phone while in hard labor birthing a child. I would say this necklace would be quite suitable. :D

Gimp...ugh...LOL! I was so surprised when I began searching for 14K gold gimp and realized.....all these beautiful 14K white gold expensive pearl necklaces have sterling silver gimp. :eek: That just seems wrong on so many levels but alas, there is no precious metal gimp to be found... I...

Oh gosh, those are beautiful! Great clasp too....I spent all last summer stringing and restringing a strand for a dear elderly woman and we never could get one her arthritic fingers could handle. I've come up with a design that would work for older hands....just need to patent it! :) Love...

I really like those, you did nice work. What's your next project?

Dang..when I saw this book I immediately added it to my beach book list for next month. Guess that won't be happening! But now I'm wondering why this ZE person's gazillion posts were removed.... I certainly came on here too late for this drama!

Hi Pearcat....one thing to keep in mind. Handle it very very gently. It is quite easy to 'crush' so when you pick up a strand to snip off a tiny bit, handle it with extreme care. Good luck!

Hi Yikai! Welcome to the board and soon to the US. Your english is amazing. How long have you spoken a second language? Are you going to know anyone in Indiana? What made you choose that particular school? I'm not near Indiana, but live in Atlanta Georgia. I often wonder how folks learn...

Today I dropped off a watch at the local jeweler's shop. This shop has been awarded one of the top 50 jewelry stores in design. I checked out the pearls they offered and there were only about 2 or 3 strands...the nicest being a $15,000 tahitian necklace. Beautiful, large pearls....different...

Hey Jeremy.... I was beyond bored this afternoon and decided to peruse the local craigslist ads for pearls. I saw this listing and recognized your dear pearls. Thought you'd like to see someone appreciates your photography. :) http://atlanta.craigslist.org/jwl/1038160707.html Dana

That was a GREAT thread title, by the way!

WELL... I finally opened the box. ACTUALLY I had someone else open the box and I covered my eyes..."Don't show me! Don't show me!" :D (Gyah..do I need a pacifier or WHAT? :cool:) So, the pearls were much bigger than I expected and very very beautiful. They appear a bit more lustrous in...

And I haven't opened it yet!! :eek: I couldn't resist Jeremy's price on the big fat beautiful freshwater pearls... so right in the middle of Christmas, I bought myself a pretty!! :p http://www.pearlparadise.com/detail.aspx?ID=2425 AND NOW IT'S HERE AND STILL ON THE TABLE AND I'M TOO...

Wow!! Yall did amazing with these pearls!! Boo ~ I especially like that pretty one you did with the little mixed ones...so delicate! Congratulations all of you who are so talented and creative!! :)

Are yall going to plan a pearl walk? Is Jeremy coming? Who all is planning to go? Last year, there was an avalanche of plans that weekend and I had to miss it, but this year, I think I'd like to go.....AS LONG AS....there would be some of you to help with the maze of confusion! :) Dana

oooOh!!! I just realized when I saw those silk cards. A while ago I ordered some beige silk and a store sent brown instead. It will be perfect!! Can't wait to see them strung. I'm not a huge fan of the chocolate but there are some dandy coppery pearls mixed in and it should be quite...

My friend just sent me a beautiful 9.5mm strand of chocolate pearls. I'm wondering what yall would suggest for best silk color choice and clasp color choice. I'm thinking yellow 14k gold filigree basket clasp but what about the thread? White silk? I've never paid attention to thread color...

ooh, I hope they have my right email!!!!

Josh, thank you so much for sharing this...Wow! Do you think it's one of the largest pearls in the world this beautiful? If an Arab Sheik contacted you and said name your price, what would you say?

Something similar has happened to me too. Everything looks all nicely knotted...did all the steps perfectly (or so I thought) and later...juuuust as I'm showing the necklace to the CLIENT a space between one of the last 3 pearls appears leaving a 1/16 inch gap. Can't for the life of me figure...

I'm a bit of a round-liker and don't really care for the bumpy natural shape, but the listing was impressive all the same. He seemed to really bend over backwards to convince the potential buyer of his integrity....I was almost expecting a listing of his mama's phone number so we could call her...
