What a fun conversation, and thank you Jeremy! :notworthy:

Douglas, would you help, pls? I accidentally tapped another members picture of a necklace, I didn’t mean to. Could you take it down for me?

Hi KeshiFan, that’s where I love pearls best, on my wrist. I like to twine a necklace around itself on my wrist... (or “forearm, Barbara, forearm”). I find they hold up ok. I haven’t seen a lot of scratching or other damage with the CFW, solid nacre. With the bead-seeded (akoya, WSS or GSS, or...

Brooch looks like a stylized Treble clef that’s lost its top part, as well as lost some pearls...and a couple of eighth notes. Interesting.

Oh sweetie! Do you have a girl cave to run away to? I think it should look like an Aladin’s Cave.

And, as it happens, I’m seriously underwhelmed by the beads and the pondslime. The pondslime lose their kick next to the crystal bead, and the the bead loses as well. The pondslime are a family set apart, rich together, subtle. pearl-sorters are genius! I wish I could thank them.

Nora, Heidi, Good to see Ash again and Bernadette. and sphinx, yay Newberry! :wave:and everybody who peeks in, posting or not!

Such luster! Knock outs, for sure

Last one, and I thank you for all of your patience and input! It’s amazing how the mood changes with the pearls. Karin, you’re right, Lighter pearls, lighter mood. Darker pearls, more smoke and mystery. Douglas, too true. So, I think these pics prove that they’re glass with an aurora...

I took a minute to check the drops for discriminating features, because oh boy! Wouldn’t I be over the moon if they were gems! They are very rich looking to me irl because of the smoky color. Sadly, I also found one of the drops has a chip at the top, and it’s very sharp where the chip is...

Hi you guys! I’m up in the air again, was and wasn’t surprised that the PP lavenders look good with the beads. They’re darker than the lightest lavender pearls, but not as dark as the pondslime. It only makes my choice a bit harder. Pattye, I wish they were stones, but I’m fairly sure they’re...

I do love this ring.

Nora, Heidi; Good to see ash again and Bernadette. and sphinx!

Thanks 86C. I sure do appreciate your weighing in.

Ok, down to pondslime and PP Lavender, I ruled out the lightest strand.

Thanks, Wendy and B! Those are the pondslime. They do look rich, don’t they? They’re a complex pearl. There are pink, lavender, copper, olive and gold... I couldn’t tell you what the base note is because there’s olive and purple in each pearl. I need 60 pearls, have just enough pearls to do it...

May I ask your opinions? which looks better? I want to replace fakes with real pearls.
