@jeg wow these are great ideas! I haven’t done any wire wrapping, but I bought supplies for stringing with aspirations of teaching myself. I do love that style of clasp on your long strand as well. It would be about ~48 inches strung together so maybe that’s a good direction! I don’t know if I’m...

Excellent inspiration! Thank you!

I am loving these teeny tiny silver blue akoyas. Just the tiniest choker, some little huggie dangles, and some 5mm studs. These remind me: I have a question to open up to the experts here for opinions. I have 3 lengths of 16inch teeny Vietnamese blue akoyas that I’ve been siting on trying to...

@jeg wow that’s a dream torsade!

Thanks for this research! Growth time plus the increased round shape consistency and improved color - yeah, I expect this will become the “new normal” purely from economic incentives to the farmers (and likely as the high tech setups that were shown become more prevalent. Perhaps really small...

I had the exact same thought about whether this will eventually become the new normal due to increased theoretical profit for farmers. Especially since my understanding is they have to be grown simultaneously with Edison (body grown nucleated) pearls which also fetch a higher price? I didn’t...

For those who have seen it, I’m wondering what your thoughts are now!

PSS strikes again, and I have escalated to these 10-10.5mm blue baroques. Their color and luster was amazing - I jumped immediately. I think blue baroques are my favorite to pair with a casual t-shirt. I’m also having fun with these teeny blue akoya keshi stretchie bracelets!

I had a very rare night out with a friend going to a show, and we went all out dressing up. These freshwater dangles from a prior PP live were the perfect party earring. A moment of appreciation for them!

That’s a dream stand

Mixing darks and lights today with 7mm tiny T studs, Tahitian keshi tin cup, silver Tahitian Keshi bracelet, and the baby porcelain GSS bracelet.

The 9mm blue baroque akoyas from Flower Jem are still my current staple. Today with some teeny tiny white freshwater keshi (or seed pearls? Is there a difference?) on a choker, a white Edison on a bangle, and a baby porcelain GSS on a little curb chain.

@BWeaves your claims last night were a dream! Congrats! Looking forward to more pics of them.

This was the best I could do with my phone and artificial lighting while it was dark and stormy last night, but I need to get some pics of them in natural light! I haven’t been able to take a proper look at them in natural lighting yet!

They’re here, they’re here! My Fijian and Art of Keshi live show claims have been set and arrived today! I was so happy to end up with this set that really goes well together. I selected settings that all flow together as well. I will be staring at this bracelet until further notice: each pearl...

@BWeaves I love that Keshi and GSS necklace! So gorgeous. @lary007 well I’m glad I’m not the only one! When I discovered the lives, there were quite a few recorded, and I had just had my second baby. Over maternity leave I watched the old ones and learned so much. Also they are such a soothing...

Oh I love those ropes!

Inspired by our own @Pomelo, I recently purchased a pair of blue akoya earrings from Flower Jem on Etsy. PSS had fully set in, and the only cure was 8-9mm studs. I was so wonderfully pleased with these earrings, and the maker thoughtfully packaged them in a little pouch his mother made from...

I have the same shirt 😉 I love it!
