Hi Caitlin tks for the reply sure!

Hi all, my SIL would like to get herself a strand of peacock tahitian similar to the one I had then. You can view from the link https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/tahitian-pearls/4720-top-peacock-tahitian-5.html the vendor's photos are on page 1. I have contacted the original vendors and they do...

Hi all, I have just receive my 20lbs moss green powerpro for my tahitian. The color goes well with the pearls. I tried making some knots with double strand of powerpro. My question is, does the hard knot scratches the nacre of the pearls. I tried rubbing the knot onto a piece of paper and it...

Hi all thanks for the input! Liliie's recommended tool kit seems comprehensive to me:) It has a place for all the necessary tools, which is convenient. I will look around for a similar one, with a lower price tag, without the knotting tool. I would do without the knotting tool (I saw it on...

Hi lillie thanks for the reply and recommendation:) I did not get this kit, it seems to be a good starter kit!

Hi all I would like to know the proper and professional way to attach a pearl safety clasp onto a knotted strand of Tahitian pearls. Here is the actual clasp I will be using http://www.riogrande.com/MemberArea/ProductPage.aspx?assetname=625640 I search some info on YouTube and it seems that...

thank you cess :) Thanks Caitlin- I have some white gold beads on their way to me, can't wait to put everything together! There was this protection between the pearls that was removed. Now it's temporary strung on a fishing line. Will that cause abrasion to the pearls, since they seems rubbing...

Hi Caitlin thanks:) I take me quite some time to arrange them. Is there a faster way of doing? How does the professional does it? (btw, I realized that I have uploaded to many picts and has taken up lotsa space:p, have deleted some)

Re-string attempt. What a difference! Re-string attempt. What a difference! Hi all thanks for the advises! The pearls in the earlier photos were not arrange in the right order, they were in a mess. So I spend some time today rearranging them according to the color, shape, and graduation. And...

Hi all, I will have it remove from the strand :) I would like it for myself for now. Thanks for the bead cap idea, I will be using 1.8mm-3mm 14k white gold beads between. By the way Jeremy- I thought that Tahitian needs to have at least a 0.8mm thick nacre before they can be exported, I read...

Hi thanks so much fOr the replies! I have got lots tO learn in pearls:) will this piece continue tO peel? I thought of removing it from the strand! Yes these are the photos I took. Should have waited for my sis to advise on the proper light to use. But I can't wait to share!

Hi Wendy thanks for the advise. Do you think it could be imitation pearls? This is the most important thing to me now:)! I will be using powerpro 0.009 (doubled) as recommended by another helpful member here. What do you think of this choice? I've spoken to Catherine (Cathybear if I am not...

Peacock is here! Peacock is here! Hi! I just received the strand of peacock pearl. The colors are real to the vendor's photos. But there are a bit more blemishes than I than I expect (especially on the last 8 pearls) I had a hard time taking photos, its hard to capture the peacock overtone...

Hi Caitlin that's the thread for me:)! thanks, appreciate it!

Hi all, I was recommended to use wire instead of silk thread for the necklace, reason being that its too heavy. Can I know more about wires for stringing, it sounds harsh to me, you know metal against soft pearls..:)

Hi ramona! Exactly! I am not good at compromising :) it is a little too early to decide as I have yet to see the real strand! I am exploring the Possibilties now, it's kinda hard to visualize. I will certainly try various arrangement when it reaches my hands:) btw, I would love to know if the...

Hi thanks Cathy! May I know if there is a knot between the bead and pearl? Do you think that the bead might scratch the pearl without a knot? Eta: I just noticed the link! It is really pretty:) too bad, gold just does not complement my skintone.

here's the pict

I kinda like this layout. Much lighter, not the chunky, heavy look. I would like it to be a set of (3mm,5mm (stardust), 3mm beads) between every 2 Tahitian. The Tahitian pearls are approx 9.2X11MM - 10.9X13.5MM Finished off with a 6mm (stardust clasp), that will be around 26 inches. I have...

Haha math lesson, I do not used to enjoy:) Ok, according to the seller, the strand of 34 pearls (including clasp and knots) will add up to 18 inches (approx 46cm) I would like the completed necklace to be 26 inches (66cm) That means I need additional 8 inches(20cm) Per bead is 3mm X 34...
