    Thou Shall Not Covet ~ Um, Can I Get A Pass On That Just This Once?

    Here is mine: http://www.perlenforum.de/perlenkette-lavendel-1-411-pd.html I was making rounds abround this piece for a couple of months, saving it on my PC, looking from time to time and trying to keep myself quiet. But in the end I could not, and now the VERY LAST ONE (!), exactly the one...

    Freshadama Overtones

    It is also helpful to put it next to other white strands (e.g.somewhere in a nearby shop). I remember that when I was buying my Akoya strand, it was lying next to several FW strands and the rose overtone seemed to be quite pronounced then. But now, when I have it at home, I don't always see...

    Creative advice needed!

    Hi everybody, This is just to report back: I got my collier back from Shoeffel, it was BEAUTIFULLY restringed, it indeed had no knots but I have now knots exactly the size they should be (not too small, not too big) and I love it! For some reason making it longer is not needed anymore - not...

    The Melo, The Conch, the Kasumi and the hollow Keshis

    Game 4: I would say the mabe is an Abalone one, is not it? And the stones are saffiers.

    Hanaleimom's pendant, ring, earrings - dark green

    Wow! I always thought that I am not so easily taken by Tahitians... I am afraid I am going to support a craftsman too... ;)

    Spherical Rose

    It would not work with more mirrors. Only if one walks around the house the whole day. I work behind the computer the whole day, so a good layout is the only way to handle the problem: just eyes aside for a while and back to the screen :)

    Spherical Rose

    I can easily imagine that with SUCH a strand and SUCH a joy one would constantly looking in all reflecting surfaces - I definitely would :D But not seeing your own wonderful necklace on yourself is a recognisable problem. That's why my best acquisitions are mostly lying next to my computer...

    New ring designs: I am charmed!

    Hi everybody, This is to share with you my big excitement of yesterday. I was meeting a goldsmith to change the locks on my (still not exactly identified but rather Tahitian) mabes. This is a young man, who graduated in Antwerpen a couple of years ago and now is an independent designer and a...

    The Pearl Outlet March special - white rope

    Once we are in The Pearl Outlet discussion I want to share my last aquisition from TPO - a chocolate-lavender strand, which was one of the last left after the Valentine's day sale. It just arrived and it is extraordinary gorgeous!!! The warm colour of chocolate in combination with a cool...

    What kind of pearl is this?

    Pearls look very much like my FW baroque, same colours, same oriet. But what a pretty design!

    Do GSS pearls have metallic luster?

    I would not say for the golden SS but about white SS they often use a word 'platina luster' or platina white colour. Maybe this is what one means as metallic in this case too...

    PP's March special is here - Chocolate FW

    Exactly! That's what I am trying to teach my husband already for years to get a legitimate right for an extra present. Airdancer, do they also celebrate it somehow in Singapore? I know that East Europeans have a long tradition in it but it looks more like Valentine's day, or Mother's day...

    Silly Things People Say About Pearls!

    My experience is twice an 'upps' with Tahitians, when shop owners (one a physical person, one an internet seller) were trying to convince me that dark FW pearls are Tahitians, and that of course REAL Tahitians would cost a fortune but those in front of me were Chinese cultivated Tahitians (read...

    Creative advice needed!

    In fact I also felt a little silly writing Schoeffel a message to nowhere (I did not think that big companies respond on such requests). So, it is also quite a pleasant surprise to me, how quickly and smoothly it all went :) The shop could not belive their eyes either, I had to show them a...

    Creative advice needed!

    Well, here is a status-quo report. Yesterday I tried to stretch it - first dry, they wet, it did not bring much result. In the meantime I realised that I don't want to mix it with any other elements, let pearls just be as beautiful as they are without detracting attention from them. In the...
