I love mixing white and yellow and rose metals.

These are the pearl and tourmaline earrings I ordered from OceanRhyme for PT (pearl therapy). They are very pretty, and I really like them, but I cannot work the post and the ear nuts. She even sent 3 different types of ear nuts. I but need to stick with hooks, I think.

I did reach out to the vendor who made the bird rings. I told her that I had no problem reattaching the pearls since I'd done it before. But that she might want to be careful if she uses those settings again. She was very grateful. I love these goofy bird rings. They're so impractical, but...

One of the birds on my Tahitian bird ring fell off. One of the birds had fallen off the SS bird ring, too, a couple weeks ago. I think the posts are just a bit too small for the drill holes. I used a bit too much 2 part jeweler's epoxy on this ring, but the pearl felt loose on the post, and...

OOOO, Pomelo. I love it. I really liked the original setting, but I think you'll get more wear out of the more traditional setting.

Yes, someone wrap me in bubblewrap, or maybe lots of pearls, please.

MintyFresh, yes, I have that same feeling about large perfectly round pearls, too. I like the larger ones to have interesting shapes.

Syrie: Your Wilma Flintstones are Stunning! I did simple akoyas today. 9mm Hanadama earrings, and 9mm baroque akoya necklace, from PP. They have the same luster. You can't even tell the necklace pearls are baroque unless you get out a magnifying glass. But the earrings have a sharper...

OOOOOOO, nice. I wonder what the back and the clasp looks like. I'm going to guess the pearls attach to bars and there's a single strand or chain that can be adjusted for length in the back.

1. I will share as soon as they arrive. 2. I have 2 pairs of Pompeii earrings. One with white pearl drops and one with dyed silver blue pearl drops. I couldn't make up my mind, so I bought both, and I love them both. JEG: OMG, the tiny pearls flinging off my fingers!!! I have no idea...

Threading tiny 2.5 mm freshwater pearls for a choker necklace. I plan on hanging that long pendant from it. I'm never doing this again. Even with the magnifier light, it's challenging when half my fingers can't feel the pearls. Where's PSS when you need it? (PSS = Pearl Shrinkage Syndrome. When...

JEG: Those are so cool. Today it's The Hamantaschen pendant from Pacific Pearls, and jade and freshwater pearl drop earrings from Kojima. I always feel like I should be walking around Pompeii in these earrings, before the volcano erupts. My ears are a little asymmetrical, so the earrings...

And you were traveling!

I do, actually. I just bought a new loom today. It's a small floor loom. I've had two of this model before. Should have kept one, in hindsight. But before, I used it as was a workshop loom that I would haul around in my car. Now it will be my only loom and will live in my living room. I...

Yes! I broke my foot treadling my loom. I basically caused my own stress fracture by doing the same movement over and over and over by pressing a treadle that had too much weight and too high tension. So I decided to sell the floor loom and get a different type of loom which is hand...
