    And here are the first ones, 8-8.5 18" natural white Hamada from PP. Again, much better in person. Oh, I'm also wearing my wedding pearl studs which were the only pair at jewelers at the time, I'm pretty sure akoya, but that's it. Earrings to match the necklace are on my wish list, but that's...

    Oh, look at that, Upload IS an option! I thought it was just text, not a button. Argh, but Thank You Pearl Dreams. So, there are the BB from PofJ. My photo skills are about as bad as my computer skills, but they're just beautiful in person. I love them.

    Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

    "Upload" never appears as an option, at least, I don't see it anywhere (ironic that if I could post a photo I could show you the screen I'm seeing). Maybe it's something funky with my work computer, like some prohibition on posting photos, etc, or the good ole' standby of I am really not gadget...

    Argh. When I open the window to respond to a thread, I select the little picture of the tree that says "Insert Image". I receive 2 options, From Computer and From URL. I select From Computer, and a browse field opens. I select the photo I want to post, but nothing happens. I see the path to the...

    I'm trying to post a photo of BB Aliya's, but I have a sinking suspicion it hasn't worked. I've mentioned I'm inept at this, right?t

    New necklace 'project'.

    asurazzy, I'm sorry for you and your family, but I'm glad what sounds like was a difficult ordeal for everyone. That necklace! eek, I want to just hold it and giggle. I've never heard of a white eggplant.

    35" or 54"?

    I hit "Put in Cart" (or whatever the button reads) before I could even think of much of anything other than "Must get before someone else can push the button faster!" Looks like I'm even luckier than I'd realized, and believe me, I knew I was lucky and sighed with relief once I had confirmation...

    35" or 54"?

    Well, I just did the thing I didn't think I'd do, I went for a 54", after saying I wouldn't go that long. But, it was a bubble rope PP had listed for their clearance sale, and I've seen a number of members' bubble ropes and LOVE them. So, after our discussions, WHEN I got an opera/rope, which...

    Chipped Pearls

    In your third post with photos (7/1 at 8:36pm is appearing for me, the one where you show more than just the damage, but both earrings), the 4th & 5th photos show a squiggle in the pearl on the left. What is that? Is that common? I'm not asking in a rhetorical kind of way. I'm trying to learn...

    Chipped Pearls

    I know next to nothing about pearls, especially compared to others here, but the last photo looks to me like the coating is different than the substance below the coating. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what it looks like, and I don't think that's what one would see. But again, mine is about the...

    Isn't it great that photos of a person wearing pearls always has that person smiling?

    Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

    I'm sure this is a stupid question, but how in the world does one take pictures of oneself like ya'll have done? I just got a smartphone (I had a dumb phone, which has a camera but the camera is horrible, but my office recently got me smartphone) and I tried, but I couldn't center them or crop...

    First Day of June, the Month of the Pearl!

    That necklace is wonderful, it seems really versatile. Looks great with pajamas, but I suspect equally good in a more formal setting. Love it.

    35" or 54"?

    What BWeaves said. Or meant to say, if she could communicate. Ropes must just be in the air lately. What an amazing idea for versatility.

    35" or 54"?

    Thank you. I am thinking this site's first page should read something like "Warning. Owning, discussing and viewing pearls may be addictive."

    You All See This PP Blog Post???

    Oh. Wow. (I'm otherwise speechless, sitting here with my chin still dropped.) Wow, oh wow.

    35" or 54"?

    I will soon be the owner of a 35" blue baroque necklace. Not the white FW rope I first was talking about and which is still on my list, but what a great way to see if I like 35" or would want longer for the white FW strand. I'm so excited for it to arrive!

    365 Days of Pearls

    I need to start trying to layer. Everyone on this site always posts such lovely photos of beautiful combinations of necklaces. So far, the most I've thought to 'layer' is doubling a rope. ha. Granted, I have a pretty small pearl stash, but I do have other items of jewelry, I'm new to pearls but...
