Hi Beaders, I was wondering if you could help me find a simple 1mm 22inch chain--oxidized sterling silver. I can't seem to find this length anywhere--seems like a basic length, but I guess it's not! Does anyone know where I could find one? Thanks!

Hiya! Thought I'd share a couple of ropes. I've been a little rope crazy for the past month after seeing all the lovely ropes posted here. I decided to have one made, and then, I bought another one for fun on ebay--bargain rope! One is 54 inches of gem white round fw with rose...

Are drop shaped fw like these bead nucleated? Thanks!

I love my baroques! 8.4-10.6mm/20 inch strand--had a couple inches added. I like this length. This size is perfect for me. Um, I definitely have a pearl habit now. Very happy. PP rocks yet again! (Thanks for the help Natalie!) More photos...

Hallo, I ordered 3 strands(16 inches) of 7.5mm gem fw to make a rope. Any ideas on what type of clasp? I was thinking just the plain matte white gold ball, but now I'm wondering if I should do something a little different. Where can I find unique clasps? Anyone have design ideas? I...

Has anyone seen this strand? 25K?:eek: http://www.rauantiques.com/29-0554.html It states, "certified natural color." Do they mean natural fw pearls--or just natural color cultured fw pearls? hmmmm

I ventured into the wholesale area at the gem show today, and I scored 2 lavender strands. One is very unique, as it is coppery/gold/green/lavender. The vendor had more deep purple strands, but this was the only one like it--totally unique--I'm in love with it! The pearls average about 9.5mm...

A couple of months ago I got a 6-7mm Freshadama strand. I subsequently decided the pearls were a little small for me. (I'm 5'9") So I returned them for a size up. I adore them! (Thanks to Mia at PP:)) They are right at 8mm (16 inch strand) which is a great size for me, but I'm afraid the...

I just got a Freshadama strand, and I'd like to keep it in the box. Will enough air get into the box if it is closed? I live about 4 blocks from the ocean, so the air is fairly moist, and I have been taking them into the bathroom with me when I shower to keep them happy. Do you recommend an...

I'm home sick with a cold, so I thought I'd photograph my small collection. (I had so much fun taking photos of my new strand--I can't stop!) Valeria, I tried the imageshack site, but it was not showing up well on Firefox. I use a mac, and I often have trouble with certain sites. When my...

Hi! I'm very excited that my first strand of Freshadamas arrived today. I ordered a 15 inch strand 6-7mm with rose overtones. The luster is amazing. I've been comparing to the AAA 6-7mm bracelet that I have from PP, and the old akoya strand my parents gave me. I have some questions. Please...

My collection is growing! Here's my new baroque akoya bracelet with earrings. 7.5mm dyed silvery blue. I also included a pair of freshwater baroque earrings 10mm. I really love baroque pearls of all kinds. I'm more into freshwaters than akoyas, but baroque akoyas are so cool that I had to...

Hello, I read in a thread about PP's Freshadamas vs. AAA that Jeremy's "Gem Quality" strands are not listed on his site. Are AAAs not gem quality? I recently bought an AAA bracelet from PP, and I was under the impression that it would be gem quality. I also read that Freshadamas are gem...

Hi! I'm on the hunt for a good sized baroque bracelet. Can you point me to your favorite vendors for Tahitian baroques? Thanks so much! Kay

Hi! I'm so happy with this baroque--potato? fw bracelet. I bought it on *gasp* ebay. :) I looked up the seller on this site, and one person had a good experience with him, so I thought I'd give him a try for some baroques. He also has a good money back guarantee policy. The pearls are in...

Hi! I love to layer my bracelets and rings. I'm really into mismatched antique styles. I recently got a freshwater bracelet from PP. I want to wear it with an antique white gold/diamond watch, and a delicate white gold/diamond bracelet (the diamonds are bezel set-so no worries about them...

Hi! I'm very happy with these earrings. 7.0-8.0 mm Round White Freshadamas with rose overtones. One is almost perfectly round. The other is a hair shorter if that makes sense. One also has more of an overtone, but these differences are very subtle. I'm under the impression that these, even...

Hi! When you use the term "exotic" are you simply referring to colors other than white? Does exotic = colored? And/or does it include differently shaped stones like baroques? Thank You! Kay

Hi! I adore my new bracelet! Freshwater AAA 6.0-7.0mm from Pearl Paradise. I'm so impressed with the quality of these pearls. Also, the service and packaging was just excellent. I was surprised at how large they look on me! I thought that maybe I should've gone bigger, but they are the...

Are Freshidamas with pink overtones bleached? I've been searching on the forum for this answer. So far, I see that Freshidamas are bleached, but I was wondering if certain overtones were not bleached. Thank You, K sorry for my misspelling of "Freshadama"
