What stunning works of art. I'm noticing how unique clasps and finishes make the strand a true standout. For me the clasp should be of great quality or really simple and elegant like the micro claps. I have has a baroque strand of Tahitian pearls with a baroque clasp and I see how it makes the...

Birks is the Tiffany's in Canada. They offer unique and beautiful claps (usually 18K gold) which makes their pieces exceptional. The one thing that I would offer as a suggestion to all online vendors, develop and/or offer a signature clasps as an upgrade.

Agreed, I'd also love to see a photo of the earrings.

I really like the size of the metallic fwp from PP. I too would have thought that 7.0-7.5 mm would be too small, but they really good great on you. It's all about scale and proportion. Love your entire collection, great choices.

Stunning pearls. Love the colours.

Very cleaver idea. I really like the organic feel it gives the bracelet.

Wow... what beautiful rings. I don't have any rings to share with you. I never even considered a ring but I may be changing my mind. Thanks for showing us your treasures.

Do pearls hold their value? This question came to me after reading the "Vintage Mikimoto Pearl" thread.

I too have the same question and approach. I own only one strand of good pearls and a few play pearl strands. I am finding I look at the play pearls to learn from them but I'm not wearing them very often. In fact recently I started given them away. I'm still learning and am using this forum to...

Thanks to everyone, I really feel you have my back (pearl lover and learner). Keep up the great work. It is alway hockey, all the time in the great white north. Side tracked myself immediately and thought of beautiful white pearls.

Oh to dream.... My wish list consists of a beautiful SS golden neacklace and bracelet. I would love to travel to Rukus or directly to farms to see and learn more about the beautiful pearls I read so much about. I would also like a small collection of rare pearls on an interchangeable necklace to...

Thank you Vik, Great advice. I will take a look at your suggested web site. I agree with you that golden pearls are real show stoppers.

Wow Alex, sorry I missed these pearls when you first posted them. They are really stunning. Well done.... Your BV is blessed. Perhaps you might consider hiring yourself out as DH for pearly projects for others. Or at least as a consultant DH.

What a lovely necklace and very dramatic- perfect for the opera and other equally dramatic outings. It's always a pleasure to see the outstanding pearls and/or designs, this one has both. Was this constructed to be sometimes worn as separate necklace or other configurations, 2 - 3 strands...

Sign me up for a single pearl with cliclasp. Another perfect application of cliclasp creator's style- I'm a huge fan.

I've never seen anything like it, absolutely beautiful collection of pearls. They look like easter eggs. Are the colours accurate, I'm seeing pinks, yellows, greens, lavender? I'm also having trouble imaging the 21mm sizing. The client will definately have a very unique piece. Will you also...

As a complete novice to the processes that these pearls may have undergone, I would guess that the large pearl strand has had an additional step added to the process to shine/polish the pearl, or an additional coating. The pink of the pearls is very intense. To me this suggests a chemical...

Hello Adeline, Really beautiful earrings, I love the floral design. The pearls are very nice and have a lovely sway to them.

Congrats on the new baby in the family. I'll check the site. I'm in Canada.

Hello Wendy, Thank you for your response. I just viewed your youtube video. I noticed that you hand knotted the pearls, which inherently makes sense to me. I've seen other videos where people used knotting tools that appear to be complicated. Maybe its only complicated until you get the hand...
