Knots in any thread will eventually show wear. However, I find Pattye's serafil lasts way longer than silk. And yes, if I have a problem, it's usually because I knotted badly, not because of the thread.

Today, long ombre' rope of freshwater pearls. Freshwater tin-cup with matching earrings. Baroque ripple drop pearl added to the clasp. All from Kojima.

Pearly Librarian. I love your little choker and the earrings. Regarding your small BBAs. You could do something like I wore yesterday. My Everything Bagel rope is mostly small BBAs (blue baroque akoyas) and small baroque pistachio akoyas, with all sorts of other larger baroque pearls (South...

Wow. I've never seen a feather pearl set in a ring before. I like it!

I have not had a problem with any of my other pearls. My BBAs (blue baroque akoyas) have never faded. The pastel freshwater pearls have not faded (peach, pale lavender). My pistachios have never faded. My Tahitians have never faded. My golden South Sea pearls have never faded. And my dyed...

Wow, fascinating. In theory, this pearl was supposed to be a natural color. It was dark purple when bought. Light lavender now. Here's a better photo of it.

Blue baroque akoya.

Fascinating! Thank you, Yens. Loved the video. I'm amazed that every time I've watched pearl cultivation, every person has a different way of doing it. I've seen the mantle tissue being put in, and then the bead. I've seen the bead put in and then the mantle tissue. And in your video, the...

Yeah, that clasp is typical Majorica. Should wear very well even you're hard on them. Remember, they're fakes. Enjoy them and don't keep them for best.

I thought Jeremy and Hisano's information about the new pearls and the farming techniques was very interesting. I liked the whiteness and the luster of the new pearls. The older I get, the more I like white vs. pinked pearls. And they have quite thick nacre. 2mm vs. 0.4 mm for my natural...

Here be dragons! Mom's vintage Rice Krispie pearls. 12 strands. Mom originally wore these as a torsade, but I prefer the strands loose.

I also have an Edison pendant pearl from Kojima that faded. It was a deep chocolate plum color originally, and now it is pale lavender with green overtones. I still really like the pearl, so I've kept it. But yeah, I'll stick with Tahitians and BBAs for my deeply colored pearls. If I win...

I wasn't going to mention this, because I wasn't sure how Jeremy would feel about it. But, he mentioned it last night on the PP Live event that discussed the new bead nucleated freshwater pearls being produced in China, so I will share what happened. Both Pattye and I had Edison freshwater...

I'm feeling colorful today. Kasumi pearl and amethyst earrings from Kojima. Chinese ripple necklace from Pacific Pearls.

PearlyLibrarian: OOOO, I love those BBA earrings. I hope the pair I bought at the last PP Live event look that good when I get them. I like your bracelets, too.

JEG: As usually, I love everything! It would have been Mom's birthday today, so I'm wearing her vintage pearls. 5 mm pearl necklace was bought in 1959. 9 mm akoya pearl necklace, South Sea earrings, akoya ring, and freshwater bracelet were bought in the 1990s.

Love the earrings. Love your makeup!

I'm really looking forward to this, too!

If she was a jeweler, is it possible that the charm is HER mark?

That's gorgeous! Cees has beautiful pearls.
