I wanted to get my strands restrung on PowerPro and set with mystery clasps so I wouldn't have to bother with re-stringing anymore but I couldn't find anyone I knew of who is in the US who wants to take it on. So now my second choice is to try to improve on the gimp my strands are strung with...

I have a half dozen pearl strands that I would like to have re-strung on PowerPro and with Mystery Clasps. First, I like my metals to match and with no visible clasp, my strands will always go with any earrings. Second, it will cut down on or eliminate having to restring in the future...

Long time no see, my pearly friends. Hope everyone is doing all right through this crazy pandemic. I have a situation here and not sure what to do. Husband and I will be leaving the US indefinitely, as soon as the Panama airports open up. We plan to travel around there. It's not the best time...

Welp, by the time I realized I really needed a GSS strand, the dark ovals were gone from last month's PP big golden sale. I ordered this one (Tahitian Pearls Biz) and am waiting for it to arrive. I don't know how the terms used there match up with the ones I'm used to on PP but I hope it's...

I know we talk about this now and then but I was just wondering if I'd *really* have done it differently, if I'd known I'd get bitten by the pearl bug and end up with lots and lots of pearly pieces. Especially since many of my earlier pieces have gone on to ebay or Goodwill through the past few...

Anyone getting anything? I was quite greedy with the Christmas sales but will get to have my purchases as gifts from hubby for occasions throughout the year. It was so much fun to get to snap up several things at once. So, I will be getting this ring "legally" now ha ha. A big pink pearl for...

I bought a wonderful (and wonderfully priced) but imperfect 16.6mm pearl and decided to try a quick nail polish fix. Don't worry, if I ever sell it I will disclose it. It's sanded with fine sandpaper and touched up with "Purple Heart" by Gosh. I think it looks better although it's not a perfect...

I just snagged these from the PP Black Friday sale. 11-12mm metallic white freshwater Edison stud earrings. Can't wait! Anyone else get any Black Friday pearls? :p

Just ordered these from Kojima Pearls. Couldn't resist! They're 16.6mm. I might make one into a ring and one into a pendant. :)

And by "fun" I mean "cheap" haha. (So far, that is). I decided to try out Wen pearls and ordered a white fireball pearl and a bunch of those wildly colorful metallic bead nucleated pearls. Everything was on sale and cost so little that it might not turn out to be anything I want to use, though...

Playing with the camera today. Didn't realize I had so many lavender pearls. I should really clear some of them out. No, I should really get a ring, too. :p Post your lavenders too if you feel like it!

Come on! You know you want to.

Show your loot! I'm probably not getting anything as I'm so bad I've already bought my own pearl presents for my birthday, anniversary and Christmas, which are not until next winter. Strangely, DH likes this (he says he appreciates how it lets him off the hook for shopping, the poor innocent...

So, we know the typical first purchase is the standard white round strand and studs. And with time, the shapes seem to get wilder (and of course let's not forget the infamous Pearl Shrinkage Syndrome). What about color? I just got a pair of champagne-ish metallic studs, 11-12mm. I am surprised...

I recently had a friend over and her little girl asked to see my pearls. So I dragged them all out, and my friend's eyes widened as if in shock or horror. (Well, we all know that deep down it most certainly must have been pearl envy, but anyway...) :p I remembered that today when I was trying...

Maybe we can help each other consider what pearl pieces we're most likely to best get our money out of. Not sure how it translates since lifestyles and personal preference differs, but who knows. What is your "go to" pearl piece? Ever since I got them a year or two ago, I wear these earrings...

How many pieces of pearly jewelry do you have? C'mon, tell the truth. I just counted and I have 44 pieces of pearl jewelry: 2 pendants 2 bracelets 4 rings 22 pairs of earrings 14 strands Notes: 1) It's a good thing I just cleared a bunch of them out 2) Clearly, I am deficient in pendants...

I got this wonderful, giant 18 mm Edison pearl in a pendant (originally from PP), from our Pkinnew's collection over on Pricescope (once logged in, hit the "Forums" tab at the top, then "Pricescope Caf?," then "Pre-loved PS Jewels," then scroll down). I seem to feel the urge to dissect...

Warning, long boring story ahead! I am so annoyed. When I was on my quest for DARK lavender pearls a while back, I decided I was not going to settle but was going to return anything that wasn't dark enough to make me happy. (They are so hard to find!) I ordered a lavender strand from Lei Family...

I feel like peach pearls get a bad rap. They do tend to kind of blend with the skin for many of us, but they also look lovely on top of a white or cream colored summer top. I have a strand of pretty orange sherbet pearls that I got from one of the home shopping channels that I really should...
