I'll have to caliper them when they come in as it only says the necklace is 22" long but not the size of the individual pearls. (Its not a pearl auction site so they don't label the off round pearl sizes) I don't know how people decide what to do haha. So many choices! I will definitely take...

I just got past the part in the Pearls as One Course with these and flameball (or was it fireball? It's been an incredibly long day) pearls and saw these on auction and I had to have them. Hopefully by the time they get here I will have the course done and I will be able to answer more of those...

Holy cow these are beautiful!

I really do! I think I am going to restring them and add a better clasp. Or maybe divide them up.. I don't know. So many ideas bouncing around

My first auction win! I don't know how many people will like these but I LOVE them! LOVE them.

I'll have to pick that one up in the future, tad out of my range right now but I will make sure to acquire it asap!

Got these today! I was advised to purchase the newer version of Newman's book so it is on the way! Very excited to dive into these. Any other pearl bibles to buy?

Hahahah! Well thats good to know because I've looked at a few and been like.. why are they the same throughout!?

They need to be mine hahaha, I don't care what they wanted to be! :p They do kinda look like they wished real hard to be a betta fish though dont they haha

Hopefully that works.. and entirely off topic but figured it was better than posting a new thread but.. Be still my heart!

I keep looking at necklaces online and its so hard online because they all look so perfect blemish wise. I am used to looking for little things and I don't see them! I think Buttons are growing on me, they are really neat and seem to have so many good uses where a round wouldn't fit as well.

Ok, this is probably going to sound silly.. I might learn this later on in the pearl course and just haven't gotten there yet but... Why do button pearls all seem to be so similar and have less dimpling? I notice they have much less variance than other kinds.. Just curious

So I have to admit, after getting half way through the Pearls as One course and learning what I have.. I watched a pearl party tonight. I had the hardest time not railing on these people. They send these "78.00 value" pearls to their "high end jeweler" and he didn't know how to shuck and oyster...

Was this in response to honibugs or op

Working on it right now! I am about 32% in hahah so I have a ways to go but it makes me more excited about learning!

Thank you! I will write them down. I am actually 22% through the CPAA course and it is fascinating. I can't believe how detailed it is.. and how little I knew about pearls. Before I stumbled upon this group I thought I only saw cultured pearls regularly because I was poor hahah. Turns out that's...

Holy.. what the what!? I must have missed that part entirely. Thank you so much!!!

I actually checked out the "Pearls As One" course last night! I would love to do it but it will have to wait for a while, unfortunately right now I just can't afford it. It sounds like it's worth its weight in gold though if I get the chance!

That is good to know! Unfortunately I could ask but would likely get no response for better pictures. I passed on that one. I will have to keep in mind that not all were knotted.

Thank you! I got lucky and one side was fairly unblemished, still definitely some blemishing but not as noticeable as the back portion.
