Wow, it was only a couple of years ago you started being interested in pearls, and look at you now! You're designing, and making. That is so great. I think I may be getting the string/wrap/design bug myself, especially after seeing your creations. I especially love the single Tahitian on the...

So glad your father's surgery went well. Also glad you and your sister can visit with your mother, she'll probably especially want the two of you there, too. I knit and crochet, and find it very therapeutic and calming, especially when dealing with emotional stress. It's just enough busy hand...

Thank you, thank you, I'm so excited about them. This morning, my 2.5 yr old daughter was sitting on the bathroom counter, pointed at one of the pearls in the tin cup (delivered yesterday, so of course I'm wearing them today), and said "those are colors". Daughter after my own heart!

I'm getting so many ideas from seeing all of your pearls. I've been trolling Kongpearl, Wenpearl, and a few pearl sellers, thinking if PP's launch tomorrow doesn't work out for me, then I may HAVE to buy a strand to try on. I purchased some Beader's Secret from Patricia in anticipation.

Thank you. Your collection is inspiring.

Something went wonky with the order of the photos above. The tin cup and keshi earrings is the one from Kojima, first one I typed about, but middle picture. Here are a FW metallic pendant and earrings. I normally don't wear matching sets, but I like them, and may wear them together if I also...

Wow, I love this thread. Heck, all of the threads which show pearls! I need to get better at selfies, and photo taking in general. I've almost given up on taking good photos while wearing pearls, but I have some new ones and just have to post them. So, here they are. I've worn all but the...

The "fix" didn't work for me, though I could only find a very old link to VIP sales (from Oct or Nov, I think). Anyway, I asked Peter to include me in the next, and he said he would, but I've not received a confirmation email yet. Should I see one? I'm holding off on getting my fix (aka, buying...

It's been probably over a year and half since I've posted, and I've never posted much, and I've been catching up with this thread. I didn't want to post until I was able to view all of the beautiful pearls and styles. My husband calls this my "pearlnography". But, I've caught up and now get to...

For what it's worth, I think the color variation would be fine, but the shape would maybe have a concern for me (though someone here who actually makes earrings would be better to address this than me). My thought is that if the post is put in where the pin is now, at the pointy-party, then...

Wow, I love that necklace, I mean LOVE it. Second, for what it's worth, I like option 1 the best, but another option 1(b) would be maybe getting rid of the top link. Could you wrap it so the Shepard Hook (I agree with BWeaves about maybe exchanging the Shepard Hook with another earring part) is...

"If anyone is tempted" - ha. Aren't we all just about always "tempted". My issue is that as tempted as I am, I've blown my pearl budget a few times over already this year dadgumit, and I did not win the lottery.

It occurred to me today, I'm going to go through withdrawal when BabyNurse has had enough of taking photos every day and posting them. Serious withdrawal; I bet I won't be alone.

I'm not much of a bracelet wearer. I like them, I just seem to forget about wrists; however, wow, that bracelet is lovely, and I'd never forget about my wrist if I had that to adorn it, especially if I made it (or is it "put it together", since we didn't actually make the pearls?).

That is some enhancer! Your mother had a nice collection, you often show the items you inherited from her. Very nice. I'm now off to look at the Kojima site.

Welcome. I'm a relatively newbie to this site and pearls, too, and everyone has been very welcoming and helpful. You started what may become a semi-obsession with a beautiful set of earrings and a beautiful necklace. Congratulations. However, blow off your coworker. She didn't know what she...

Oh, I do, too. How versatile.

Not my pearls, but I saw a woman on the train this morning wearing a multicolor FW strand, probably 18", and of a decent size, 9mm if I had to guess (but I'm not good at judging). She was also wearing pearl earrings. They're hard to explain, but 4 or 5 metal sticks (maybe 1-2" long) were...

Oh my goodness, those are beautiful. And I've loved looking through this thread at last year's birthday gifts. Beautiful.

Those golden akoya are absolutely amazing. In the photo, one can see your arm for goodness sakes, your arm. It is like looking in a gold-toned mirror. Amazing. I didn't know golden akoyas existed until recently (well, most of my very limited pearl knowledge is recent, but this is especially...
