Whoa, jeg, whoa!!! What a stunning outfit! Love the Ombre so much!

Soooo, the birdies told me someone is buying up alllll the SoC keshis right now - who is it?! Step forward! :p

Oh, Pattye, that is so exciting! I cannot wait to see what you'll make!

Talking sets: My mint garnet and Tahitian earrings now have an ombre Tahitian keshi and emerald necklace to match. Reminds me of egg wrack!

I am pretty happy with my discovery that cast sea urchin make the cutest tassel caps! Shown with my fancy shiny seafoam Japanese sterling thread.

Finally got everything I needed to make the tassel cap from a cast silver sea urchin shell.

Fantastic strand, Red! Love the photo match. I am in the mood for wild tangles of Tahitians today.

Thanks everyone! This is my first longer necklace and it is just so nice to be able to constantly look at it.

Thanks! hehe, there's a little spring clasp, it's finished now, but most pics are of the unknotted strand.

Hi there, I hijacked a thread already asking all these questions and now I can finally share the results. I am really happy with my new Tahitian keshi and emerald beads strand. Even though some of the little knots could have been tighter - it was just so much fun making this, very addictive! I...

Genius! Thank you! While I am at it: I just got back from my goldsmith's where I picked up a little silver spring ring. I was set on using french wire. She said, she detests that stuff because she can never source pure (unplated) gold (or even pure silver? Can't remember) ... and then those 40k...

Awesome, thank you everyone! Now I only need to get another needle. The only ultra thin wire that was strong enough for the task in the house was my needle threader, so I choped off the wire and used that ... but after half of the beads/pearls it broke. I'll get a replacement or something better...

Dear Marianne, thank you so much for your comment! Great advice about the pearls near the clasp, I haven't thought about that at all! Clasp in general .. and french wire .. I need more resources.

Thank you! Beading wire seems to be the most reasonable way to go ... BUT: I just love the waterlike drape of a knotted strand, and I really want to learn how to do it properly. Do you think metal spacer beads would be enough to protect the pearls?

My dearest pearl knotting community, I'd like to hop onto this thread, hopefully Luvglitz, you don't mind! If say I have about 50 5-8mm pearls (.7 to .8 mm drill holes) that I'd like to combine with the same strung length of 2-4mm diameter faceted gemstone beads that only have .4mm drill holes...

So pretty! And so BIG!

BWeaves, I love love love the colour combination you're wearing there and how you've matched the necklaces. I am very happy that I finally got my preordered Heather Benjamin carved abalone shell necklace. It is a great match for my new earrings. Actually Heather's jewellery (especially those...

The set is complete! Matching Heather Benjamin carved abalone necklace.

So much fun!
