    I gave PP a call to see if any really burgundy strands came back and, sadly, none had. Oh well. Hopefully the harvest bracelets pop up soon.

    Pearls from Scottish river Tay

    In looking for an old Mississippi pearl flower piece, I found this from a UK seller. They thought it might contain Scottish pearls and they seem to match pearls earlier in this thread. Either way it was pretty and $33!

    Mississippi river pearls?

    The clasp really makes me question this strand because some of the pearls seem like scrap that was strung together just to use it and I don’t know why you’d put a diamond milgrain clasp of what looks like high content gold given how yellow it is (plus the diamonds are super clean and glass like)...

    They are gorgeous, but way out of my budget. Hoping the harvest bracelets are in my reach and I can get one or two to go into a harvest rope I am working on.

    Katbran I used Beaders Secret in sky. It seems to fluctuate color like the pearls, sometimes grayish sometimes blue. They were two 18 inch necklaces so I cut the thread at 150 inches or 4 times the expected length of the finished necklace plus 6 inches extra. I did have some extra when done...
