Hi, I was wondering with all of the changes etc over a year for freshies etc whether there have been any updates in the Pearls as One course? If so, it might be fun to revisit it. - Thanks!

What gets me is that you read on how rare good pearls are ie: only 20% of the harvest being of great quality etc and then you see these pearl wholesaler markets etc where they have tonnes and tonnes of pearls in giant sacks and this isn't even all of their stock. Thousands of sellers with...

Yeah. I am trying to avoid buying from US suppliers due to the political situation so Unfortunately Bella is out for me. I will keep an eye out for some nice faux stands though!

That was awesome to see! Thank you!

Newest creation inspired by Instagram.

Thank you for your kind words.

I really love the orange-y ombre combo. Everytime I see it on here I just love it!

I also find out that we are our own worst critics. Most things people might spare a passing glance on, but when you bring it up, their focus goes straight there to something they wouldn't have paid mind to if one hadn't kept their big mouth shut :D

I completely agree with this sentiment. I wear my most expensive and "fancy" strands with jeans and a T-shirt if I am sure I am going out in safe areas lol! I am sitting at home right now with a cat on my lap, sweatpants a sweater wearing a tahitian pearl on a pendant. Yesterday, jeans, regular...

I am new into the jewelry crafting hobby and I have invested in some nice pearls to use, but my eyes roll back in my head for the cost of gold clasps etc. My next solution will be gold filled. At present I am using what I can afford and like because I only have to please myself or my family. I...

Time for some Freshie love. Yesterday I was in blue wearing raggedy kasumi like pearls from Simply Adorned, which I had to restring due to the knots slipping through the large holes in the pearls, I think I did a great job! The shorter strand is from House of Pearls. Purple shirt day showing...

Those pearls are INSANE!!

All EFFY jewellry imo is VERY overpriced.

One last thing. The first Tahitian neckace that I designed and made. I really like it.

My second strand of circle Ts which I love for casual wear and also a photo of a mishmash of freshies! Oh and the Takahashi necklace doubled.

These are the pendant and bracelet I bought at Na Hoku as well, love the octopus theme!

I DID IT!!! I made it through every post in this thread!!! I am simply overwhelmed by all of the beauty here. I guess now it's time to post a few of my own. The first really expensive pearls I bought were at Na Hoku, and I sometimes wondered if I over-paid for them. My only disappointment with...

I think so too, however from any distance, the beads do get lost, so I think I will shorten the necklace a bit and replace the beads with more of the flat freshies, I think that would compliment the pearls better imo.

Those earrings are quite stunning simplicity!

Sorry for the delay lol still working through the forum and am 25 pages away from completion! Yes, I got them from the Takahashi live event :)
