Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

[ckrickett]

STUNNING Jersey Pearl! I am getting ready to string a tahitian project too! Hope it comes out as well done as yours is!

 

[JerseyPearl]

Well, I string like I take selfies...notice the Special K photo bomb. This was my second attempt at stringing...I'm guessing that 3-4 tries will help perfect my technique. I also didn't do a fantastic job at sorting the pearls...I just kind of pulled them out and strung them up not really focusing on colors. Thanks for the compliment...your projects are always very inspiring and your kind words are appreciated!

 

[ckrickett]

Thank you! This next one is my attempt at a faux harvest strand. Planning on having it 54 inches long with one 20 inch length one 7 inch bracelet and the rest a longer length. I have 28 inches currently so I may start with that

 

[JerseyPearl]

Wow, that sounds like an amazing project!

 

[lary007]

Oh my goodness. That strand is just lovely. Jealous of your knitting skills!

Skills? Let me tell you, I can barely tie shoelaces (I am not kidding...mid-50's and I still use bunny ears). I just followed the WONDERFUL tutorial on this site. https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6942

Well I'll be sure to use that when/if I decide to take on a project or have to restring some I already have! Thanks!

CKRickett and Jersey, NICE, very well done and what a treat for our eyes today! Thank you, and I think the pics are fine.

You did a great job Jersey! They look beautiful on you. Are those pearls ever smooth?
That is an awesome tutorial from Pearls Dreams.

when I got those inexpensive ripple pearls little bit ago some of them were missing nacre, and one had a large missing portion near the hole, most of them I just tossed but this one had the most beautiful colors, I was determined to find a way to save it.

I came across some oxidized silver and pave diamond floral bead caps and bought a few, sure enough they fit the pearl like a glove and only the teeniest bit of the missing nacre shows through. so I made a little pendant and was wearing it today.

I tried taking a pic with it on but didn't come out good, so here it is n a piece of cloth.

reminds me of the types of pendants that Sarah offers at Kojima Pearl

Today is simple, my thrifted little rosebud necklace paired with flannel!

Beautiful pearls ckrickett and Hanadama. Looking great the both of you.

Very nice, Hanadama, you can't go wrong with black and white. Gorgeous luster, too.

Lovely ckrickett! I really like your ripples with that top.
