Hi everyone and thank you for your kind comments. I so enjoy the neck shots posted on the forum and do understand that they are very desirable, even necessary, to really have an accurate idea of the relative size and impact of the jewelry. For a neck shot, I have to catch my husband with his...

Finally here is a neck shot. I actually restrung part of the necklace so that the third sapphire row, which is only in the center part of the necklace between the drop and the first pearl on either side, is now strung on beading wire instead of 18k gold 28 guage wire. This third strand is...

interesting thread. It certainly illustrates the cost of the "brand' game. What are these? http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=23513471&mcat=148204&cid=287465&search_params=s+5-p+3-c+287465-r+101323339+101323352-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+ Are these dyed?

These are wonderful! Can you show more close ups?

Wow! Really spectacular.

Well, I realized that I need to stop buying and start stringing! I began to sort my "stash" today for new storage--a little of everything in terms of pearls, stones and in all phases of completion from still in the package/temp. strand through finished through ready to tear apart and redo. I...

I included diamond beads with some extremely small holes on the recent pearl and sapphire necklace that I made. I had to use the .010 because of the diamond beads. I am going to be stringing another necklace with SS pearls and diamond beads between spacers. I had considered the smallest...

Great pendant Pattye!

Oh Pattye!! How beautiful--I love you choices of gemstones to enhance the beautiful pearls. Those sunstones are so beautiful--where did you get the faceted ones? Just wonderful combinations here! Druzydesign is a wonderful source-glad to see that some of the really beautiful stones that I...

Thanks Marcus. I had concluded.that there was a very high probability that this piece was carved from a shell. However, there is not much specific information in my references or on the web, and I do appreciate you sharing your expertise with a confirmation and the additional information...

I was not certain where to post this. I found this baby ring when cleaning out my childhood jewelry case from my parents' home. I have had this ring forever. I know that I had it before I was five or six. No one who knows about the origins of this ring is still alive. I either remember ( or...

Very interesting! I had not noticed the description of the cuff bracelet-which strongly implies that keshis are natural ("natural Indonesian keshis"). I suppose in the 2007 brooch description, one could interpret the description of "natural" as applying to the color ("natural white"). In...

We were in the Carribean recently, and picked up brochures from Yvel jewelry designer. They featured an assembled pearl flower that was described as being made of "natural freshwater wild pearls". They look alot like second harvest pearls. Are they and if not what are they? Thanks, Beth...

I actually love the peach and golden pearls (and other gemstones in these colors)--ALas, not extremely flattering to my skin (these colors looked great for me when I was young, foolish--and tanned). However, I do find that they can look wonderful, for example, when worn over black. I have a...

Lots of guesses! Today I guess 48

Using a different set of assumptions, I will guess 10

Love these beautiful creations. You have a great pearl stash there!

Oh MY!! I just saw these--to die for. I could really get hooked on pearls like that! Did you purchase a lot of these and pick the most beautiful for this strand? Such colors! I definitely have some like these on my wish list!

Thanks for the information on french wire. I will check these out. I should have said that the necklace referenced here is pictured and discussed in the "My latest pearl project" thread in the "Show us your pearls forum"...

I will try 41 as a guess
