An interesting necklace design using black keshis--note the definition of keshi in description. Maybe confusing or even misleading for prospective buyers? :confused...

It is even smiling--look mama, my sisters and brothers love me. I love pearls that are magnets for beautiful stones--this one has it all!

Thanks so much Bernadette: That is a good idea. Maybe I just need to learn to drill holes with a steady hand:), If I could only find someone brave enough to show me how:confused: If anyone sees one of these that is about 40 mm at the drill hole--I would very much appreciate the source...

Here is a work in progress. I was once an avid gardener (now a "passive" gardener--I expect to see monkeys swing through the vines any day now). I have always been fascinated by the interaction between wildflowers and the results of our efforts to create "tame" orderly gardens. I think...

Hi Bluesea: This is a very beautiful and elegant design. Do you intend to expand this design to other colors and types of pearls? I think that it would be really lovely with so many different types and colors. Look forward to seeing more of your designs.

Thanks so much Wendy, Blaire, Cassiopiea, Bluesea and Patty. I was unsure about the knotting on the golden pearl necklace. I knotted after each pearl and then again before each pearl. Kotting before the pearl (and after the bead and spacer) was the most difficult becuase the spacer kept...

Oh my! A pearl wonderland here. I look at Blaire's and think--how very elegant and strikingly beautiful. I look at Pattye's and think-what fantastic knock-outs-colors to die for I look at Lionlaw's and think--stunning, Wow I look at Cathy's and think--amazing, just incredible I look at...

Well, here are two necklace that I just restrung. The first is my Lombok pearl necklace--I added three pearls, knotted between each pearl and the tiny 22k gold spacers on each side of the larger gold beads. It is now longer. I also attach a not very good neck shot--snapped by my husband as we...

Interesting discussion. As I understand it pearl quality is a value judgement that is multi-dimensional (multiple characteristics that determine value). The most interesting question (to me) then becomes whether or not one or more of these dimensions are correlated or whether ( or which)...

Will there ever be any loose metallics for those of us who make jewelry? I know that you have to focus on strands, but would love some loose ones too, even if they are a little "off round":) Thanks, Beth

Possibly I should add that the new pearls range from over 13 to over 14 mm with variation on each pearl less than 2 percent. Because of their size, I am especially concerned with providing adequate space between the pearls as well as good flexibility. Thanks.

Pictures did not come through: I am about to try again

Hi again: I have now three glowing new pearls to add to my necklace. I have decided to use powerpro I will use the 22k gold beads (as in the temp string,) but will add for smoothness at each end of the bead between the pearl and the bead a small 22k daisy spacer. I an adding the spacers...

Really beautiful and unique, Pattye--those red agates are so rich looking-"eat with a spoon" fabulous. Beth

I have been taking a sliversmithing class and just saw this. Thanks for your most generous comments! May Inge wear it in good times and good health! Beth

Really beautiful Blaire! So elegant.

Beautiful pearls and lady-- you are lucky to have such a lovely neck to show off the pearls!

"Eat with a spoon" yummy--what a great idea to use the rose gold!

Thanks Pattye and Cathy. I actually will try to take a better picture. My "photo" box is temporarily packed up today. Peace, Beth
