Those triplets are absolutely stunning! Happy birthday you lucky thing.

Nah.... well, a bench jeweller with "L" plates...Can I be a lowly beader and designer for bench jewellers?

Have you tried reamers? Sewing pins or needles? Those really really fine pointed tweezers? (Can you tell I have faced the same dilema?)

Hey Mikeyy! I'm not promising any kind of ruckus, but does this visit include Melbourne again by any chance???? I'm sure between Bernadette & myself we could throw something together. Len & I will vie for the best coffee, no headache included.

I'm having fun, can you tell??? It's so nice of all of you to say you like it. Thanks!

Tah Dah! I balled the end of the silver wire, with the pearls already threaded on it! Was I scared? I was sweating...pearls! lol. I wrapped the pearls in wet tissue, and used my heat proof tweezers as a heat sink between the end of the wire and the sheet of silver. I am only playing with FW, so...

Oh Blaire, you crack me up! Jeremy, what a flurry you have created! Great topic!

Pick me me me! I'll be a stylists assistant! Send pearly bribes over here.

Jeremy, the bandolier style has caught my attention. We have an event coming up here in late September, I have just had a call from the agent of some of our Football stars, looking to outfit the WAGS for the red carpet. It is a well loved event in a Football mad city, and many of the WAGS wear...

That looked strange to me too... seems I am developing the Pearl Guide nose for "?n your dreams'' descriptions. One for the pearl police?

I found these, 290344508639 hunting for long drop pearls for the Anne Boleyn necklace. They are the right shape, but suspiciously perfect. I messaged the seller asking if they were faux, plastic, shell based, MOP, or freshwater, and here is the answer: The above item in white colour with no...

I photocopy beads submitted for re stringing, in front of the client, (it may have been an idea from Bernadette, my pearl guru), and make sure to tell them their necklace will feel shorter, as it has stretched with wear. My workshop is right out in the open, in the middle of the shop, so they...

Definitely a good reason to come up with a name reflecting that sentiment!

Why oh why are they called pond slime??? Who is responsible? They are so glorious!

Oh lordy, there is another site (not as good as PG) all about diamonds... Sparkle overload! I think I need some quiet time with some gentle pearls now, to recover. Thanks Kelluvpearls.

Lisa this takes me back to my textile technology unit at Uni (about a buzillion years ago). That is correct as I remember it. I have a feeling if you burned pale coloured silk thread, you would end up with a dark dot on the end, very noticeable with pale pearls. I like Bernadette's clear...

Many thanks! That last pearl looks almost like an opal! What Amazing colours. Delicious.

Thank you so much for inviting me!

There are particular rings, which have magical powers. I take great delight in telling couples that their ring is very special, and it empowers the wearer to "get out of housework". I also discuss pearl engagement rings, and suggest that I am happy to design a pearl ring, AND an engagement...

OOOOOH! Thank you! I am honoured, I have just spent a few hours wandering about here in raptures over your pearls Jeremy, and feeling very much like a small fish in a huge ocean. But passion is passion, one pearl at a time. (I just dream about being passionate with strands.... ropes..... instead...
