Hi everyone, I'm in the market for some tahitian keshi studs. Nothing flattish, more rounded, but gnarly, and definitely keshi. Any ideas where I can source these?:D

Hi all, been a while. Hope everyone is well and having happy pearl trails! I've a question, which I should know the answer to, but alas do not. My eyes are roaming to a pair of tahitian studs. For years I have just not gotten into the groove of tahitian studs, and then wham! I find myself...

I've tried to post a few times today, and there was a problem with the site. Forgive me if a similar post suddenly appears about 3 times LOL! Hi all, hope you're well. Need some opinions. Bought my first strand of round, whites a few months back. An 8.5-9mm freshadama strand with...

Hi all: I'm thinking of buying a 7.5-8 mm strand of fwp from one of our favorite vendors:D. I've been sent pictures of strands with silvery rose and rose overtones. The picture is excellent in many ways, but to my eye, there isn't a lot of difference between the two (in the picture). Can...

Hi all: Terrible news from our Pacific Rim Cousins. We are all on high alert here for destructive waves, but mostly thinking about the people of Japan and all others who are affected by this earthquake...

These are my white fwp - my Wilma Flintstone Look. The smaller are my biwa sticks. They need to be re-strung somehow...but I really like their shapes and lustre. You don't have to spend a lot of money to have beautiful and interesting pearls.

My PP metallics in cooler tones, and my metallic keshi's. I love exotics...

My akoya keshi strand... and hopefully a few others as I get the time...the photos (thanks to inexpensive camera and marginal skills) does not do the necklace justice.

Okey dokey. I'm hoping that my pictures made it up alright. Computers are not my strong point, so be patient if I've gaffed somehow...and for the quality of the pics! You can't see the colors very well, but they are white, cream, gray, bluish and a lovely green/pistachio one.

Hi everyone: I have been going over tons of info here about knotting, and I know that the info is here somewhere, but I've got 2 small kids and a messy house...could someone cut to the chase for me - I'd be ever so grateful. I'm in Victoria (Canada) and the only silk available is Griffin on a...

Hi everyone: I'm pretty excited right now. I've been pining for a strand of tahitian keshi's for quite some time. I haven't seen much available (not that I really know where to look) nor in a price range that I can afford. Today I ordered a strand of keshi's from Sarah's Kojima site (I can...

:eek::eek: I've scratched my exotic pearl bracelet! Don't ask how...but a couple of pearls have short not too deep scratches. Is there any way I can fix them?

Further to my other thread about ordering more exotics, did I read somewhere that the smaller ones have a sharper metallic lustre that the larger sizes? Can anyone confirm or dispel that? :confused:

Hi everyone: You may recall that I purchased my first strand of pearls last month. I went for a small (6.5-7) strand of PP's exotics. I asked for cooler tones and that is what they sent. Very pretty too. (Note to self - get that photo up. First - take photo) Anyway...I am finding the...

Hi again: Well now a lot of you know that I have a hankering for keishi's and baroques - I so appreciate all of the advice... I find that my interests are settling with non-nucleated pearls, which is why I am attracted to keishi's/keshi's. Some of you were kind enough to let me know that fw's...

I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum so forgive me if not...I would like a single strand of keishi pearls. White or cream with colorful overtones (orient? may have my terms wrong forgive me). Not too large in size. Any advice where to start looking?

I have stepped foot on the slippery slope... I am so pleased with my exotics that came from PP yesterday, that now I'm wondering who else carries an exotic line? You were all right when you said there is something indescribable about them. Very addicting.

Hi everyone: Holy cow! I ordered them 2 days ago, and my strand of exotics came in the mail today. I'm in Canada too. Wow. I know you are all wanting a picture, and I've no clue how to do that, so I've got some reading to do, but I'll get one up soon. I was just so excited about them...

Hi there: I'm a new member with my very first question. I've not been able to afford pearls until now, finding them too expensive and, quite frankly pretty poor quality for what they are charging at our local jewellery stores. Then I discovered this site. Whoa. Triple Whoa. Moment of...
