Cricket ug, you’ve gotten really good! After the anxiety of going back through and knotting the first 4 pearls, I love the weight of the pearls in my hand and, you’re right, they do clink together so beautifully.

If it were me, instead of spending $2300 on a 70 year old strand of so-so pearls that may or may not be Mikimotos, I’d go spend that same amount on a new hanadama strand that had incredible luster.

When workmen come to make repairs to my condo, they borrow my tools because mine are better. Comes from being single most of my life and being handy and unafraid.

It turned out beautifully and the clasp really adds to the look. Hope you can get it repaired.

Rocio has such beautiful skin tone for white pearls (and red lipstick and dress). What a lovely shot.

Oh, I love it! And it goes so well with your GSS.

86CG that soufflé pendqnt looks very interesting!

I use Stackers that I get at the Container Store. They come in different sizes and configurations will stack up inside a drawer, or you can get a top for them. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GrqzSqIQKjs

i love your piggies, baby nurse. The first Christmas ex-husband and I were married, he surprised me with a Guinea Pig. She was so precious but so suspiciously fat. Yep, a couple of weeks later she had three piglets. Cutest babies ever. They just don't live nearly long enough.

Beautiful pearls and, oh, to have a young neck again to display them.

86CG I love your jadeite enhancer. BWeaves, you look so refreshing in your cool blues.

She's a beautiful girl (as are the pearls) and the lighting is great, but I have to say that I'm not crazy about the pose because it gives her body very awkward proportions.

Very nice! I say go ahead and parade around.

Good for you, mrsadm! Can't wait to see your photos.

BWeaves, I wore my mother's pearls to her funeral 18 years ago, and they've been in the jewelry case ever since. I've been so sentimentally attached to them that I didn't want to make any changes, but what's the point of having an unwearable pearl necklace? I think she would approve of their...
