The site looks AMAZING! Josh has done such a great job! :)

Very cool! How thrilled you must be to have the jewelry you made featured so prominently- Congrats! :)

Karin's got it right- consider that they're studs and they'll be behind your eyes so you won't be able to see them much at all, really. And almost anybody else is not going to get close enough to pick up on the scratch. I'd continue to wear and enjoy :)

Thank you JerseyPearl- I feel very swan like now ;) I agree- the possible configurations on this are endless, but I REALLY like your idea of bezel-set gemstones- that is very interesting... :cool:

Thanks so much guys! Awesome! Even my 16-year old daughter likes it (I recruited her to take the pictures- free labor haha) and once I put it on, her face lit up "That's SO COOL, Mom!!" ;) I think she's getting a pretty great birthday present this year lol!

LOL! That's too funny Marianne! I like the paper weight idea. :rolleyes: But this whole thread has had me thinking: what could we do with some pearly giants? We have a fabulous lot of 14-15mm White South Sea baroques: these babies have awesome size and some really seriously beautiful luster and...

Very cool, love them! It's such an interesting design- so organic and earthy! I would be tempted to wear it as a branch running up the ear, like this...

No I've never seen that mark before, but it will be fun to research and find out where it comes from! :)

Not good, not good! Tridacna is an endangered species- Customs will most likely seize any pearls or shells you try to take with you, and if you continue to willfully pluck them from the water you could face legal action. Giant Clams are a wonder of and for the world. Please, Leave the rest of...

The blemishes are consistent with South Sea- I suppose as long as they are positioned on the sides so anyone else doesn't see them when you wear them then they are ok. I too would probably have gone with very large, AAA or Gem grade FW although they are a bit more difficult to find- with...

Yes, definitely need to see them on someone- those look REALLY neat! I don't know how you could possibly think they'd be too close in style to Hisano's design- these are definitely very different, and very unique! You could do an entire line of these- I envision bracelets, definitely a brooch or...

Very cool- love the design!

That will definitely take him back a step or two lol! That is GORGEOUS- the shape reminds me of one of those goldfish with the large, wispy tails...

Absolutely beautiful! And I'm not even going to try lol... ;)

Great Pictures- I LOVE tear-drop shapes, they're so pretty!

Very cool- great post, thanks! :)

I love Lavender! Yes, white is "classic", but I don't see why you couldn't make Lavender your new classic ;) Go for it! :)

Good call- I missed the thread yesterday, but you made the right decision I think. :) The luster looks gorgeous on both pearls! Generally SSP have a nacre thickness of 2.0mm or more- they have a longer cultivation period, more time to acquire nacre... I highly doubt you'd be seeing that quality...

Very cool :cool: The shape is just awesome, and I'd love to see more! BTW- Provoked Baroques makes me laugh, thumbs up!

Wow sounds like a Not To Miss Event! What a view!! :)
