I have no idea what hanadama pearls are, but that set is beautiful. You really got a lot of bang for your buck.:D

Thanks Tucs. Ok, I will try to figure out the signature link thing.:D

Ok, so I wrote this post yesterday but it disappeared. I think what I may have done is previewed it first but never hit the "submit" button. I'm going to try to reconstruct the post as best I can. Hi all, I have been scouring these threads and finding out all sorts of interesting...

Thanks, that's good to know.

LOL, so those are tin cup necklaces? I have been seeing that term as I've been going through the threads and finally clicked to find out what they were. I have been making these necklaces for years. Now I wonder if I should put "tin cup" in my descriptions if that is a popular term.

Oh, one more thing. Is it ok to use the term "color treated" as opposed to "dyed"?

Thank you, I love designing with pearls!

Thanks everyone! I'm just glad that they are all actually pearls. But now I know what I'm dealing with I will change my descriptions to accurately describe the pearls used in my pieces. Pattye, yes I know that there are people out there who are what I call "pearl purists". They only want the...

Hi Everyone! As promised in my introductory post, I have taken some pictures of the pearls that I am currently using for my jewelry designs. I'm pretty sure that the pearls that I am using are Chinese freshwater pearls. But I have some pearls that were sold to me as Black Tahitian pearls that...
