Pareltje--Those are just amazing, wonderful and deep luster along with such an amazing and rare color. I can't wait to see the earrings! Silver findings? Gold findings? Lovely choice!!

That is one gorgeous pearl!! My grandmother had some "carnival glass" which was in a more orange palette, but with iridescence. I would love to know what kind of glass that is. Another great post!!

BN--These are stunning! Somehow it is hard to beat the beauty and satiny luster of WSS! I agree with Hanadama who is always reinventing pearls, that these could be repurposed somehow so that you might reach for them more often.

Here is my copy of BN's keishi. It was 16" 3-4mm Keishi which I knotted every third pearl. It finished at just over 18". The pearl was purchased loose at a jewelry store in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico and it looked blah on a silver chain. I fantasize that it is my Sea of Cortez pearl (haha)...

A little acetone on a q-tip will clean off excess glue. I had an earring that was irritating my year and after looking at them under loops, it was the glue.

A little quick tip... Irwin Quick Grip will allow you to clamp down a pearl tightly and keep the pearl and your fingers intact. Available from your local hardware store or Amazon.

Zoe: The pearls and design are stunning! I can't wait to see the final design, but based on the initial work up, it will be a stunner. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It is so fun!

So beautiful!

Pam, You look absolutely gorgeous and your attempts at photography were better out of the gate than my month's of agonizing over pictures. Nicely done and you look gorgeous!

BW--now you are in my "wheelhouse". This "rabbit hole" began last year when I decided to knot and string some exquisite Sleeping Beauty turquoise that I had, rather than traditionally bead it. All my stringing tutorials lead me into revisiting my pearls and my love for them. Your ring looks...

BW--Amazing tin cup from Kojima Pearls! I have been enjoying their new website and it looks like you grabbed an absolute stunner from Sarah. Hanadama--your ropes are envious, and put together are so gorgeous!!

That is a wonderful torsade! Torsades don't get enough attention. I love the juxtaposition of the tiny seed pearls with the gorgeous FP....and the luster!

Karman--Beautiful Keishi and so wearable! It is fun to see MSC's creative influence. I love casual pearls. BW--you continue to amaze with your collection. Thank you for all of the beautiful posts!

BN--Gorgeous rosebuds on you! The chicken in pearls has always made me smile!

In particular, that you would be hearing from her "layers"...

That is one amazing collection of gorgeous rings!!

Wow those are beautiful!

Gorgeous collection!! They all look wonderful on you!

Love the screamers!! I also love the little screaming guy! Those pearls are so amazing and the depth and luster beyond compare!

Thanks! That was what I was thinking. It is of course, an approximate based on the pearls, the thread and the knots; but it is nice to know ahead of time what the approximate length will be done on completion. You guys are awesome!
