    Show us your beads, please

    Well, the people I made them for live in a small town, and most jewelry is very unoriginal. I know her designs are standard fro chainmaille, but still a rare sight in my hometown. I think the fact they they are made to fit also plays a factor. So often bracelets are sadly one size fits all...

    Anne Boleyn/Ugly Betty necklace

    Well, yes, I am aware of people using initials in jewlry. :D I was speaking to this specific piece. I do not think most women who buy pearls want a historic repordcution wth their initial attached. While I love the necklace, I just can't see becoming popular. I think most women, when they...

    Anne Boleyn/Ugly Betty necklace

    Hmmm, I love all the fascinating ideas that pop up on this forum. I imagne stocking all those initals would be difficult. Could it an item that would need a turn around for casting? Although, in the wider sense of the audience beyond PG, I am not so sure how popular this would be. I watched...

    Ok, ok its not peral related, but it was linked to the haunted pearl ring so I couldn't resist. ROTFLMAO http://http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-HAUNTED-RING-OF-THE-LEPRECHAUN-SPIRIT-WISHES-UAMD_W0QQitemZ160143993977QQihZ006QQcategoryZ102514QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem lol Anyone want...

    What is your favorite pearl necklace length?

    Hmm, that is a tough one. My ropes(60 inch) I tend to wear doubled or tripled, depending on what I am wearing. But I love 16 inch ones. Great under collars, elegant on my neck. If I wear something strapless, I think the 18s just seem a bit long.

    purple rounds

    LOL Knotty, I could understand your post. I was just joking, of course it is an odd name for a spice pearl. Although looking at my post it does seem to imply I was talking about the vegtable. I meant the imaginary spice of lavender eggplant. The vanilla, allspice and cinnamon all sound so...

    purple rounds

    LOL, Knotty, What, you have never used lavender Eggplant when cooking. It goes great in all my curry dishes. Yumm:D But you are right, it does give an immediate sense of the color.

    Antique Natural Pearl Strand Value ???

    Oh my God, how horrible would that be.:eek: Hopefully this will not turn out to be the case. But I find it rather unlikely. From the pic Caitlin posted, I think most women would notice the sudden roundness of the pearls and know they weren't the same. It is a rather profound change, even for...

    All about silk thread

    Hi Knotty, I can translate for you. On the first picture, the dark writing ?????is the name of the company, which would be pronounce o-ri-zu-ru. The kanji in the right corner says whole silk thread. On the pack is mainly recycling info, saying the packing is plastic and paper. Oh, and in...

    My First Freshwater Pearls

    LOL, can't believe I did this. My ropes are only 60 inch as well. I am not quite sure how I made that mistake. I hadn't worn them in a while and must have exaggerated their length in my mind. Actually, I think Raisondetre had a thread up called Terry's pearls. I think the ropes she posted...

    My First Freshwater Pearls

    The thing I like about my multi-color rope is that, to me, it looks like candy. Do you remember those necklaces that were strung on elastic and you could bite off each bead. I think almost every girl in the US had to have one at least. ;) Anyway, while they don't look much alike, the...

    My First Freshwater Pearls

    Hi Sueki, Did you get that from The Pearl Outlet? It looks like the 100-inch rope I got from them. Just curious. It looks beautiful. I know I love mine!

    Natural Black Pearls

    Hi Valeria, Well, I think that necklace is a stunner. I can just imagine it drapping down some flapper-style dress. I love jewelry in the Art Deco style. Thanks for posting! Love the necklace smetzler posted as well.

    Going to China

    Hey, just wanted to add a tip. In Japan, especially in the country side, many bathrooms don't have toilet paper either. So if you go, rather than bring a whole roll of tp, bring the small, disposable tissue packs. They fit much easier and don't unravel. ;)
