    eBay Finds! (Don't get too excited, they're not fancy) --

    I got my first eBay strands today, woo! They were MUCH cheaper than what I would have been able to get for beading (which, yes, I'm getting back into, because I just can't help myself,) and I was curious, and, well, I have a huge thing for flawed pearls (don't kick me) so I'm honestly happier...

    How to re-set a pearl?

    Everyday pearls & their lovely keeper

    I've always loved pearls, but a whole strand seems too fancy most of the time. With my e-bay dabbling I managed to round up some earrings, a necklace, and a ring (all akoya, I believe,) which go together quite nicely without being overwhelming. My Hello Kitty doll holds them while I sleep, so...

    My own mystery pearls!

    I did the classic thing and bought these on ebay, they were labeled as "real" pearls, I figured they were probably cultured or low-quality since I got them pretty cheap. The clasp makes it clear that this necklace is old, it has 207 pearls on it total. I do like the necklace!! Obviously when...
