Maiden voyage for my new earrings today :)

My so far favorite pearl-and-gemstone project is done since yesterday. Douglas McLaurin's Sea of Cortez Mabe and Yvonne Raley's tourmaline trillions are a great match, don't you think? I added my diamond bead earring for the fluorescence shots because it has some fun colours.

Love your pendant!

Is Justin Hunter around? Oh, I'd love an update on how those single tone strands in the safe are coming along...!

Welcome Karen! I'd love to see your metallics. Metallics are my favorite freshwaters. What body colours do you have?

I just discussed this with my goldsmith recently. She said in her experience Omega backs are fine, but the pressure point you get on the back of the earlobe is typically rather narrow at the top of the ear piercing hole. For an even better support she suggested large ear nuts that distribute the...

She really does! Thank you everyone for their replies and encouragement!

Found a pair just like I wanted ... unsure about the asking price though, I just don't know enough about these special abalone pearly pretties to know whether it's in the usual range.

I am looking for guidance: could anybody maybe direct me to a source of natural loose abalone pearls, ideally sold as individuals (or matched pairs)? I am dreaming of a colour-mismatched but roughly size-matched little pair of baroque/off rounds in the 4-6mm range.

Oooh, yes please, Pattye, share lots of pictures from the event. I wish I could go. It'll be a few more weeks until I can show my pieces in this thread ... they are being set currently. :)

Those screamers! They were super limited, right? Something like 6 strands only?

I wish somebody quickly bought these .... https://mexican-pearls.myshopify.com/products/18k-gold-pearl-earrings-aretes-de-oro-de-18k-con-perla-del-mar-de-cortez I don't know if I can withstand much longer.

Looks like you've started your Tahitian journey with a Kamoka pearl?! What an epic start!

Smooth drops for me. As pendants/earrings with pearl caps or drilled by the neck for a necklace.

Absolutely gorgeous pearls. I am really loving lighter Tahitians myself right now.
