Well... this is an unexpected turn! But I really see the charm of it - thank you, Valeria! There will be something to think over in the coming days :)

I add to the compliments - Inge, this is really-really great! I am especially fond of the first one with the golden pointed elements, it looks so modern and trendy! Just looking at a similar strand of ovals lying in front of me, - the extras make it so much more interesting! Where can one get...

Thank you all very much! I am now trying to think it over with so many options open. I still think I should make it longer in one or another way because even with knots (I guess they are still needed) it will not be long enough. Now with this length it is sitting exactly on the slope of the...

Hi everybody, I think this is the case when I really need a creative advice. I have already for a while a nice necklace with large button pearls which I bought for their extraordinary orient and very high luster. Pearls are really sizable: 7-8mm wide and 15-16mm long. It is nice to look at...

My experience is that when you photograph pearls, you should first carefully choose the background, which may either absorb or reflect too much of the pearl beauty. With exotics light background was definitely better, with white pearls - a dark one. Another thing is the flash: it depends, but...

Oh great! Are those the same you posted some time ago as pictures? It is from VoP-Munich? Looks SO-O-O pretty!

Raison, I really-really don't get it - they look very pretty! As for wrong decisions, we all can show a master class in it :D Nose up :) Olga

Sueki, I am afraid it is already now JUST big enough... not much space for expansion... but then it will keep me more reasonable... I hope so... :D

That's the whole focus-pokus: each compartment is big enough for a couple of strands :) Where am I going to store it... that's a question... maybe in the bedroom under the bed? Let everybody think that this is my grandmother's old trunk with worthless rubbish :) Just kidding. It can easily...

Hunting for a good jewelry box where I can safely store all the objects of my obsession became recently an obsession by itself. I know that silk bags are perhaps better but too many silk bags is too confusing, I would never be able to get the right strand out of the pile. So, here comes the...

How did you guess? It is exactly what I was doing yesterday :). They got a double portion of tenderness and care from me yesterday for being so undeservedly neglected :D It was supposed to be a present to my future daughter-in-law, I thought for me one strand (my big ovals) is enough. But no...

I LOVE the forth photo with rubies very much, it is so elegant!

What a poetic confession in love! What a nice stream of passion, Bodecia! I do fully agree - this is a real adiction. As sombody wrote in one of the forums - "my brother also wants pearls, he thinks he is joking...". I can not imagine that a year ago I had absolutely no interest in pearls and...

Ok, Ok, now I can not resist. Here goes my Canon Ixus :) After I made these photos, I definitely can not part with this second strand of mine, as I initially planned...

Jeremy, thanks for this answer, this is becoming most interesting! About European affiliates: is EdelKontor also your baby? Their logo is similar to yours and I definitely saw some very familiar photos there:-). If not, can you give some directions, so that we could buy knowing that this is...

Whatever they are, the golden ones look quite unattractive. I was just wondering, what can it be because ladies our of this league don't wear nap in public, I dare to say. About the dark one - sorry, this was my mistake, they are dark, so my thought did not fly that far as Lapis Lasuli :-)

Thaty's interesting about Hilary and Mrs Obama! From Europe we don't see that much of them as you do, so it is difficult to make any sort of conclusions. Thank you, Knotty!

Thank you, Caitlin, I think I got the message. Will try to look for a simple bar soap or something like this and not to wash pearls without need to keep silk intact. Olga

It stands in all books: pearls should be cleaned in water with mild soap. But what is exactly the mild soap? The liquid soap with ph-5,5 I have in the bathroom is described as mild - but the list of its components on the bottle its quite impressive. Or should it be soap for babies? Or anything...

This is amazing! I had my second necklace (round 7-8mm, 290-14) all this time in a box because it was supposed to be a present. Now after all the chameleon discussions I took it out, put it on a light background in a diffused light and left it for a while to 'recover after the customs stress'...
