Pearl dreams, is the term "ruckus" specific to pearls or could it be any type of yearly get-together where a certain topic is discussed? I had never come across the word "ruckus" before. It sounds absolutely lovely. I wish I could join!

She has tried and she still gets a reaction, so that's why she prefers to go with solid gold. It would be so much easier if this wasn't the case.

CathyKeshi, I love your blossom tahitian earrings and your pendant is absolutely fab, I love how the third pearl is carved.

What's a "ruckus"?

I've never seen anything quite like this before, have you? I find it really clever, and very beautiful. I took the image from tahitianpearls.biz (http://www.tahitianpearls.biz/golden-south-sea-pearl-earrings/diamond_earring_jackets_and_golden_south_sea_pearl_earrings_gewj.htm)

Lisa c, mum's always taking care of everyone and she's never made herself a priority, so it's a tremendous joy for me to be able to do things like this for her.

Pattye, thanks :) It's good to know a little about my pearls. My former mother-in-law never liked them, but I really do. How would you mix them with gemstones and other pearls? By restringing? (Can you tell how clueless I am about pearls? ;) )

It's great to get your opinions, so thanks for sharing. You all know how to make a newbie feel welcome :) Sea Urchin, that's good for me to know, thanks for pointing it out. kelluvpearls and GemGeek, thanks :) She's a wonderful mum.

Very pretty!

Katbran, thanks, I will wait patiently for my fellow Europeans to respond :) Wendy, I don't have a particular style in mind, but I'd love to have a few different options. It just has to be solid 14k or 18k gold. I want to change the clasp on my pearl necklace, and my mum also needs to change...

Right, isn't it gorgeous? I kind of prefer the golden south sea pearl in this setting, but the white south sea pearl is gorgeous too. GemGeek, I was thinking of doing that, but since I can't really afford to purchase it at the moment I felt a bit stupid. Do you reckon it is okay to ask them for...

Sea Urchin, I love your neckshot. What a great idea to post a photo of your lavender and pink ropes next to each other.

I wasn't quite sure where to start this thread, so my apologies if I chose the wrong category. Does anyone know where I could buy gold clasps for pearl necklaces/bracelets in Europe? It has to be solid 14k or 18k.

I received this necklace as a gift from my former mother-in-law. She had received them as a gift from her husband, he had bought it while abroad on a business trip. I asked her if she knew anything about the pearls, but unfortunately she didn't. It was such a long time ago that she had received...

That's good to know, thanks pearlescence. I had read on the Swedish customs website and there it said that VAT refunds weren't possible even if an item was re-exported. Good to know that there is EU law that overrides that.

Wow! It is absolutely gorgeous and I am so impressed that you made it yourself. You are talented! Congratulations to your marriage :)

Thanks for your advice ladies. I've decided to go with the earrings. Lisa c, you are quite right... "there's nothing like fulfilling someone's wish"- well said! Good point Pattye, I've sent an email to PP asking for the pinkest earrings.

What a fun thread! I'm enjoying looking at your first pearls :) Here are my first pearls, they were a gift: And here are the first pearls I bought: When I was 16 I had saved up money to buy my mum two strands, one was made into a necklace and the other into two bracelets. (Unfortunately mum...

I can't decide on whether to get my mum pink to peach 8.5-9 mm freshadama studs or a 7-8mm metallic white freshwater pearl necklace. Mum has a pink to peach fw bracelet and multicolour fw necklace, but she only has white pearl earrings. I know that she has been wanting pink pearl earrings to go...

Does anyone here own the Camellia Collection White South Sea Pearl ring or the Camellia Collection Golden South Sea Pearl ring from PP? If so, would you mind sharing photos of you wearing it? :) http://www.pearlparadise.com/p-2222-camellia-collection-white-south-sea-pearl-ring.aspx...
