Are those rubber bands?

enlarge the holes. I enlarged 6 pearl holes to make an endless strand and you can't tell.

The beaders secret works really well. The trick is to hold the knot on top of the pearl. And then grab the two strands and pull so the knot slides even closer to the pearl. These pearls are tight tight tight. And despite the lower quality, they are very pretty especially when twisted into a...

Yes it is.... I ordered the high quality white keshi previously and was in LOVE with those. gorgeous pearls. So I ordered again and got the buttonish things.. :( I didn't like the pearls well enough to use them in a short necklace or for anything else for that matter, they definitely needed...

where did you find the bars or did you make those?

I made this pearl rope this weekend. 5 strands of baoque buttonish whites. I didn't receive what I ordered, they should have been a high quality keshi, but they still made a nice necklace. I like the layers of the long ropes. These will look great with a white t-shirt. Casual but classy...

No, but I DO want to take a trip there someday. I hear a cruise ship goes there?? That would be a fun trip.

I took this picture with my iPhone in a hotel room. Once we get settled, I'll take better pictures. :)

The top three will be a three pearl ring. The bottom large will be a simple pendent. I was wearing an bright green shirt and the bottom pearl is reflecting that. It actually has strong blues and reds.
