Hello everyone! I know I haven't posted in a long time, but I have been popping in and lurking from time to time. It's been almost a year since my husband and I were married, and we're finally getting around to going on our honeymoon! We're going to Los Cabos in Mexico for a week, and, of...

Hi everyone! I think that people should be getting their exotics within the next couple of days. I would really love to see the purpleyest of the purples that you got. Ever since I first saw this picture posted here on these forums, I have been dreaming of finding truely purple pearls...

So, I'm using freshwater pearls with 22 gauge 14K wire. I used a bead reamer to make the holes a little bigger and then attached a few of the pearls. As I've worked with the pearls, the area around the hole has turned black, which alarmed me until I realized that it's from the bead reamer. A...

Hi all, first post! I've been reading the forum for a few weeks, and I think it's saved me from making some big mistakes. I am trying to find loose strands of CFWP, white, round, 7-8mm, AA+ or AAA quality. There are a few Chinese websites online that I was about to order from, until I read in...
