Holy moly! I have been away for months! I was getting all sorts of warnings on my Mac about malware on this site... this is the first time I haven't gotten the warning. Who knows what was up with that- but obviously the site has changed a bit in my absence. Crystal- your metallics are gorgeous...

Okey dokey- I was just checking to make sure I wasn't losing my mind (well, I lost most of it long ago but I can't afford to lose any more!).

It's perfectly fine if you all think I'm bonkers and don't have any problems searching on here at all! It very well could just be me :D

Yup- I am googling other sites too. I am just curious about this search engine for ANY multiple word search or phrase search (Pearl Paradise, natural white, Bahrain seed pearl, American Pearl, Hong Kong, gem show, etc). Really doesn't work well with just Pearl or American or gem or natural or...

Thanks! That helps. She has a few other strands (one long and one with gorgeous carnival glass beads). I figured they must be rather hard to find if Jeremy doesn't have them on the website (even though I know he has lots not on the site). Any help with the searching techniques or am I stuck...

It's Cathy's website. Let me know what you think! I may have to hunt you down if they disappear too quickly, though... :p http://www.catherinecardellinipearls.com/?subject=search&page=1&keywords=mirror+metallic&where=name

I am very impressed! Your rings are gorgeous. I thought I would try silver clay, but never made it past a pendant and some earrings. Love the birthday set for your mom, too. Very cool! I can't wait to see more :)

Hi everyone! I am really sorry if this is kind of s stupid question or if it's been answered before... On one website I found mostly round white metallic FW pearls. I am intrigued because I think the luster could be close to akoyas? The Freshadamas aren't metallic at all, correct? Does PP ever...

Yup. I bargained the heck out of the diamond/pearl earrings I bought in Chinatown, SF. I know I went down at least half- I think more. I paid, what I think, was fair and gave them a profit. I bargain everywhere! Bad habit gained from lots of military deployments :) I've found most B&M stores...

Okay, here's a neck shot. It's super funky and casual. Looks great on bare skin too.

Thanks! I started out trying to find a pendant to match the earrings, but quickly realized I had to match the pearl in person. That, and finding a setting with diamonds that were big enough to go with the earrings was also difficult (I hate diamond chippies. Blech). So I started looking at...

These are natural color purplish keshis from Kojima Pearl. Whoa. These are fantabulous! The luster is amazing. It's 50" long with a clasp so I can double or triple it. Sarah also made me earrings with 2 of the pearls.

These are my natural white Hanadamas. I couldn't get a good shot of the blue-pink luster :( Gorgeous in person!

Here is a gold leather necklace with pearls and cz's tied into it. I think it's 100 inches. I wrap and wrap it around my neck and it has 2 briolettes on the end that I let dangle down. I know- no neck shot. I'll get one!

I thought I'd post some pics of some of my pearls. Trying to figure out how to post pics, so it may take a few attempts. This is a pair of earrings I bought in Chinatown in San Fran. I think they are South Sea pearls, but I am not sure. They are silver-grey and have a softer luster. Love 'em! I...

Hi Karin! I'm new too :) That is kinda funny that you mention the auto-reject b/c it happened to my dad a few weeks ago when I was visiting. He isn't very good at eBay and got that same message after submitting a best offer. He didn't try again, so I don't know what that seller would have...

Thanks for all of the help! I am not expecting too much from the P-cola show other than to gain some more knowledge. I've dabbled in all sorts of things and silver clay jewelry was one of them (yup- bought the crazy kiln that now sits in the corner...). Since I am kind of a jewelry snob, I...

Thanks! That helps a lot. I found the P-cola show... I am going to call and ask if it's wholesale. I don't think so, but who knows. That helps to know there aren't "pearls only" shows. I'll keep my eyes peeled for all gem shows. I did see that some parts of the Tucson show are open to the...

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum (but have been a lurker for a while). My hubby recently got me a natural white Hanadama necklace from PP (I decided I finally needed a nice pearl necklace!). It's absolutely gorgeous and I am learning a lot about pearls on this website! I am also becoming...
