Hi Dave, Thanks so much for posting this information and amazing photos for us! Good to see you back!

Pearlescence is correct!

Hi Camhatch, If you are new to off loom bead weaving, you might find the book Creative Bead Weaving by Carol Wilcox Wells helpful. She has very complete, well illustrated and easy to follow directions on multiple types of bead weaving including the netting technique used in your photo.

This is really pretty, Camhatch. This type of bead woven netting requires multiple passes through some of the beads. This can be difficult with pearls as their drill holes may not be large enough. You would need to try the required number of passes on the pearls as you lay out the pattern...

Goodness, I would send those back right away and purchase from a reputable source like Pearl Paradise!

Oh Cathy, you and Walter are the best!

I agree with pearlescene. The two round yellowish strands appear to be imitation (with a very pretty clasp). The pearl shapes on the station necklace are lovely.

Wow, Douglas, that is one gorgeous pearl!

Your loom work is just amazing, BWeaves. Thanks so much for sharing!

Oh my goodness, you have a gorgeous ring!!!

If you knot them on a two strand clasp, just twist to the desired twistiness, then fasten the clasp. They will stay twisted till unclasped. Adding a third strand into the mix might be a good idea as the more twists, the shorter the necklace becomes.

Happy December, jeg. Your dress is the bomb!

Cool and disturbing at the same time.

South Sea pearls due to the size. She was a true pioneer!

I think you have a winning combination, Lee. They look lovely on you!

Cool kilt, Douglas. Wonderful photo of you and your beautiful Elizabeth!

We need a picture of that outfit, Douglas! Very regal tiaras, BWeaves.

Oh Cathy, you made me snort! I was also picturing my um, formal lounge ware :)

They look like Cultured Freshwater Pearls from China. Lovely baroque shapes.

What beautiful additions to your lovely collection, Masik! Thank you for sharing. Hope all is well with you and your family.
