Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

OMG, CTD, that's the first time I've ever snagged a pearl out from someone else. Usually I dither way too long, and then it's gone. I'm so sorry. OK, I'm not sorry, but you know what I mean. Tevai told me they're called switched symmetry pearls! They’re very rare. Definitely one in thousands. I couldn't resist.

Your quote, " I love the unique, quirky ones and this one is just so stellar." Stellar!

I do love a play on words, so thank you for getting it.

I think the pearl found the person it was meant for. You didn't snag it from me. However, if you ever want to rehome it...

I'm genuinely happy for you.

Thanks, BWeaves! I love bubbles, too!

Several years ago, when I wanted to learn how to wire-wrap, I decided to make a continuous chain so I could keep practicing on one piece. I used base metal, faux pearls, and a mix of beads. I’ve been wanting to remake the piece using real pearls and nicer wire, and finally got around to re-creating the necklace.

The original necklace was my first attempt at learning how to wire-wrap. I took the baroque Akoya rope apart to use for the remake. I bought these pearls at an Intergem show a long time ago.

The remake using the baroque Akoya pearls and changing out a few of the beads, plus a little improvement in my wire-wrapping skills after some years of practice. Wearing it with my necklace made of random vintage Akoya from PacificPearlsUS.
