Hello PG, Long time no visit, hope everyone is OK and coping under the current crazy circumstances. I thought I would share this photo with you, to demonstrate the durability and longevity of CFWP. This little pearl is the remnant of the one I wire-wrapped myself back in 1997, and it had...

I searched for a long time for the right pair of diamond huggies that are just long enough to hug my big fat earlobes without jutting out to make my already wide face look even wider, and found these when I visited LA's Diamond District during my Ruckus trip recently. 0.38cttw, 8 diamonds in...

The new British PM likes her pearls for certain! Not always real like those massive costume ones she wears from time to time, however, she has an impressive collection of real ones. On TV this morning, she was wearing what looked like a strand of multi-colour Eddisons. Perhaps not as stylish...

I purchased this SoC Mabe from Eastern Tradewind/Agustus-Collection with the intention of setting it as a pendant drop. However, it is too small for my large frame, and I had it set in a ring instead. Ring size is 12 US, in 14K White Gold, diamond melees are 1.5mm each, and I am very pleased...

My precision cut Danburite by Jeff White that I intend to set as a multi-strand/use pearl clasp/pendant. The finished stone is bigger than first anticipated. Once set, it should be big enough for a double strand of 8-9mm pearls. The idea is to have it made into a clasp so that it can take...

Queen Sonja of Norway wore a strand of massive pearl-like necklace during opening of the Norwegian parliament (scroll down for pics of the queen): http://blogg.tv2.no/kongebloggen/2014/10/02/stil-og-stemning-ved-stortingets-apning/ What do you think? Can they be giant baroque Tahitians? DK...

Hi peeps, Just realised I posted about this project in another board first, and not on PG, sorry! :o This is my replacement 50th birthday present for myself for next year, as my Wilma Flintstone necklace project has not been too successful (the spec for the necklace will need to be revised in...

... here is a bunny for you...

It always intrigues me to see how the same size pearls appears differently on people depending on the size of their earlobes. The lovely 10mm pearls earrings as seen in recent threads (one for white SSP, the other for Tahitian) would appear small and too dainty on my big fat earlobes, where a...

I have started this thread to chronicle the making of my "Wilma Flintstone" baroque SSP necklace, as requested by a few ladies on PG. It will be a 50th birthday present to myself in 2015, and I am hoping I shall have sufficient fund to purchase enough pearls for a 18in necklace by then. The...

The clasp in question is for a double strand, overall size of the clasp is quoted as 19.4mm diameter in the KGH's catalogue. I would like to show off the clasp and wear it on the side rather than at the back. Would 9-9.5mm dwarf the clasp, or should I go for 8-9mm? Many thanks for your...

A bunny, the latest from Sven/Agustus-Collection! So cute!!! A cute bunny-shaped loose SSP, Item=200780480788 DK ;)

Recent PP Monthly Special and pics of Daniel's jewellery, have inspired me to dream up a pendant design of my own: a diamond bale with inter-changeable drops of pearls and precious stones. Just wondering if anyone could give me an indication how much I should expect to pay for a giant silver...

With regret, much as I love this little bug, it has to go, as I have over-stretched myself with my recent trailer purchase. Bought in HK in one of the shops along the "Jade" road back in 2009. It can be worn as a pendant or a brooch, very well-made. I have never worn it as a pendant, and...

As seen via a link on a jewellery forum: Record Breaking Natural Grey Saltwater Pearl Necklace Hmmmm, don't like the colour much, natural or not! DK :p

Hi peeps, It has been a while since I posted in the forums, although I have been a lurker and continued to read the forum posts from time to time. I would appreciate your input please with regard to the best way to sell my custom-made double strand 8-9mm Freshadama necklace. I was planning to...

I visited London for the weekend, and went jewellery window shopping in Burlington Arcade and the Bond Streets on Saturday. I walked into the Mikimoto store, wearing my Gem Fresh 8-9mm strand from TPO, and asked to see a couple of strands from the display. They turned out to be both AAAs...

Hi peeps, Just returned from a week in Hong Kong, and bought myself a bargain South Sea Pearls, silver tone, mostly round and quite good surfaces. I need to string it myself, and would appreciate advice on what size thread to use please. Many thanks in advance :) DK :)

OK, it is nearly 19mm in diameter, and nearly round, but 19k with only a platinum chain???!!! Single 18.7mm x 18.9mm Tahitian pearl for nearly 19k US Sorry, that seems rather excessive for a single pearl! DK :rolleyes:

They are here, at last! :D Thanks to Jeremy who helped in finding a jeweller (one of his suppliers) to make these for me :) Although the original intention was to have these in time for my partner's Thanksgiving Service on 05 Dec 08, the time scale was too tight and missed by about a week...
