Got it and guess what? I just realized we live in the same state. I wonder how close we are.....pearl stringing lessons *might* be a real possibility! LOL!

and grow it shall-can't wait to see what is soon to be on it's way! These are my newest from Catherine. They're fantastic. 27 inches of AAA metallic keshi rosebud goodness in light pinks, peaches, lilacs and whites. After this next strand gets here I think I'm cut off for the rest of the...

Thank you all so much. I hadn't realized that they are indeed three different shapes as well as colors. I'm loving them all. I'll include here too a 36 inch strand of akoyas that were at one time incredible. I've sort of worn them within an inch of their lives....I'm sporting them today as a...

And then I'll dig out my old. They've been put away since our last move-I kept two strands out and have been LAZY about unpacking. Anyway....this past month I've acquired a few nice things: a freshadama set from PP. I asked for silver/rose and LOVE what I got. They are silver in overcast...

Those Tahitians....oh myyyyyyyyy.

come now. that was a scarf. you're good. LOL!

I am! Pearls have been in my life for 20 years (since I turned 16 I've been collecting!) but this is my very first strand of Tahitians. I can't believe it took me this long! They're incredible.

YES. I love how they feel. I so adore that pearls FEEL like a living thing. It's amazing how much they become a part of you.

there really is something about a pearl. they're so magical.

I can't believe how long it took me to find Tahitians. I'm so in love with everything about them. They're a dream to wear.

I'm madly in love with them and you look incredible. I know you have a few other things on their way (equally as fab!) and soon you are going to have a collection to rival the most seasoned collector!

Great tip! I did not know this! I will try tonight.

I am so in love with your rope!!!! I can't wait for more photos. They're incredible.

Thank you. I'm fairly pleased with my first try!

That sale is KILLING ME! You are so lucky!!!! I can't wait to see them. My first baroques were Tahitians from PP. I just got them last week and I'm in awe of them. I can't wait to see your strand-mine is a measly 18 inches! Yours is going to be a knockout!

They don't bother me at all-but I was worried (as was stated in the thread that was linked-thank you!) that if it was a lack of nacre they'd be more prone to damage (peeling, chipping etc.) As far as looks go, they're hard to see. I just wanted to be sure that my purty pearls aren't at risk...

thank you! I'll go read that now! Pattye-no, they're not at the stringing hole, they're more inside the rings and they feel rough. It really just looks like a lack of nacre altogether. I'll try to get a shot, but it's not easy!

Okay-here are the existing photos that don't in any way show the spots I'm talking about-just the beauty! In some shots they're with my freshadamas :) To answer Pearl Dreams-no way can you see the irregularities-especially the white spots from 3 feet away. I'm not so worried about the...

Thank you all! I posted photos elsewhere on the site, but didn't make any attempt to capture the "white" spots. With baroque pearls I have no problems at all with the irregularities and blemishes. I actually do love them. But I wasn't expecting to see areas with what appeared to be no nacre...

Thank you! I knew fwp could go either way. Had NO idea on Tahitians though. I'm so grateful for your speedy response!
