I am not sure that this will help. The picture is somewhat fuzzy because I was experimenting with taking pictures of my jewelry while I was wearing it--had to white out the background image of my contorted pose (with camera!) in the mirror...

Beautiful Boo--the pearls and the neck. Love the torsade. You have a head start! Ummmm--now I have to buy more pearls!!!

Fabulous pearls! As for the sale--I waited too long--had to go to a meeting (rats) just after the sales appeared. The meeting was too long---the pearls I picked were long gone! Beautiful SSs Sheryl--are they for you or just passing through? (I just read what I wrote--the rhymes were not...

Stunning pearls on a lovely neck. Congratulations to your Mom

A wonderful design. I love the contrast of the silver pearls with the garnets. A great choice for an enhancer--love the flexibility too! Amazing knotting job there as well.

Pattye, Julie, Nerida, Inge, Wendy and Bernadette.Thanks so much for you kind comments. I wish that I could attach those sound bytes--Chandra's voice is as glorious as her beauty. Hmmmm--maybe I will work on a way to do that. Thanks again, Beth

Thanks Terry for your generous comment.

I borrowed my friend's beautiful neck to show off a my necklaces. She is a cousin of the legendary blues singer, Howling Wolf. You should hear her sing the blues (or anything else for that matter)--fantastic voice in the event that any of you are talent scouts!

thanks Bernadette!

Wow Sheryl and Knotty. I just checked those websites. New sources of gems to covet. I have never seen the faceted rounds that are drilled to string--interesting possibilities. Thanks so much for sharing your sources--just in case I win the lottery;) Beth

Thanks Miriam, Pattye, Nerida and Knotty Panda: Yes the crescents were quite tricky as were the minute SS keishi used to cover the wire on which the rubies were dropped. Oddly enough--the ruby holes became the real problem. The wire had to run twice through the holes. I tested most but not...

Hi all: A few new pieces. I did a temp string on my GGS necklace, and also created several keshi necklaces. One is a long strand of white FW keshis, black coral, and kamoka keshis. The other is a crescent shaped fw keshi, black coral, kamoka keshi, seed SS keshi and ruby strand. I show them...

Thanks to all! I was not aware of the problems of placing identical gold beads next to each other. Thanks for the clarification,Knotty Panda. Am I correct in understanding from your comments that this also applies to all gemstone beads so that spacers should be used between all beads that are...

Thanks Barbie, Jerin, Bernadette and Knotty Panda. Good point about knotting--I was also wondering how that would work with the beads. I was thinking that the beads would cover the knots, but that might not work at all. I think you are right that it would be better not to knot--especially...

Here is a photo of the temporary string with a silver Tahitian pearl of the approximate size I would like to add strung as a central "placer" pearl.

I am so grateful for all I have learned here. I need some suggestions for a necklace that I about to string. I am not at all sure what my best option for stringing material might be. This is my version of an add a pearl necklace. I have been hoarding special Indonesian gold pearls. Most of...

Very beautiful!

Beautiful design! Congratulations.

Great job! I am envious of your skill.
