    365 Days of Pearls

    What a wonderful way to start the morning, sitting here drinking my cut of tea and seeing another set of lovely pearls. I really like the tourmaline necklace. - Oh, who am I kidding. AND the kasha, and the earrings. Those earrings are fantastic. I'm going to have a little extra pep in my step...

    Mixed baroque Southsea and Tahitian tincup neckshot.

    That is, to me, a once in a lifetime sort of necklace. It is amazing, really. Congratulations.

    I've admired your recent Kamoka strands, Cicadalady, and this photo doesn't begin to do this beauty justice. I love it. It's blue/green/pink, and I love it. When I saw it on the Kamoka site, I thought about it quite a while, since I'd gone relatively crazy with then-recent pearl purchases (I've...

    365 Days of Pearls

    Those ripples and the metallics are so lovely. You have got to be the best advertisement for pearls. I have honestly lost count of how often I've seen some on you and thought to myself, "Those look stunning. I've never really thought about wanting a (whatever pearls you're wearing), but wow...

    Gem Quality Freshwater Pearls?

    I can't comment on the pearls themselves, as I have zero knowledge about SS pearls; however, I just wanted to point out that the zoomed pearls are not the same as the strand which appears on the page. When you select "Hover to Zoom", the zoomed strand is different. Others here may be able to...

    I don't know why they're sideways and sure don't know why I'm seeing 3 identical photos side by side.

    PP natural white hanadamas with PofJ gem grade FWP earrings. The gem grade match the hanadama strand better than my akoya wedding studs do.

    In Praise of Potato Pearls

    Oh, I love this necklace. It's really beautiful. Argh, have I mentioned how much I NEED to start learning to knot? (after about 30 other things which are priority when one has a 10 month old.)

    Katalin, I love everything about that necklace. I need to add learning how to make tin cups to the list of things I need to learn, including stringing and knotting.

    Yesterday I wore the bubble rope from the PP clearance sale. It's 54" and I like the length more than I thought I would. I wore it tripled this past weekend, and it's just long enough to comfortably triple. I think I'll be wearing this necklace a often. Yesterday, with my wedding stud earrings...

    Where to purchase wholesale Akoya round Pearls at least AA+

    What's the deal with laying them in salt? That is salt, isn't it? Is it supposed to imply they're salt-water pearls? I don't get it.

    Woo Hoo, congratulations. They look wonderful. I bet your tin cup is going to be stunning.

    The Pearl Source: Trusted vendor?

    Interesting thread that went way off course from the original intent, no? I love this kind of thread, when the initial topic has been resolved, an actual conversation ensues, as if we were all sitting have coffee (or wine) together.

    Hanadama Pearls - Surface Imperfection?

    I've only ever seen my Hanadama strand, and none of those pearls have the imperfections you're talking about. They're all mirror smooth (certainly to the naked eye). Regardless of the "standard", were it me, if I didn't like them, I'd return them or exchange them. Explain your reasoning and they...

    Lovely goldens, Kalmen. And you layered with another necklace that looks wonderful with it. I need to try layering more. The little h strands' FW are 2-3mm. The photos of that strand and the others I posted really don't do them justice. The little h is great with boatneck shirts. I'm not loving...

    Today I'm wearing a tiny mm Fe strand from little h. Oh, and some FW or fake dangley earrings. I bought them at at arts festival booth with a matching triple strand. They're faceted and have an odd look, so while I was told FW, I have my doubts. Either way, they're iridescent and that works...
