    Fun brooch idea

    I have an opera length strand of CFWP from PP that I love. But, regardless of what SJP does in the movies, I sometimes feel like it's a little too dressy for everyday. I bought this cute little crocheted flower brooch & I think it makes a really fun strand shortener! It's kind of vintage-y...

    Elisa you earned your pendant! The first time the rope was on special I passed it up, but after seeing how fabulous it looked on you I had to snatch it up this time around ;)

    Do People Still Waste Their Time Buying Pearls Of All Things On eBay ???

    I am the lucky owner :D I was drawn to the combo of wood & pearls, but I was surprised by just how gorgeous the freshwater keshis are. The overtone & orient on them are just amazing. I would love to have a choker of them!

    Do People Still Waste Their Time Buying Pearls Of All Things On eBay ???

    I sure do, but generally only from sellers I've heard good word of mouth about. I recently bought a beautiful rosewood & keshi CFWP bangle from Kojima Pearl on eBay. When buying from a seller for the first time it's a gamble, so I never spend more than I'm willing to risk losing. So far...

    A Knotty Submission

    Ohhh it's so unique :-) I love the mix of different shapes & colors. It is very mermaid-y, but in a grown up way not a Disney move way.:)

    just for fun...playing dress-up, courtesy of TPO

    I thought I'd throw in my two cents as a consumer - The pictures I see on a retailers site I assume are the lowest quality. Meaning if there are options on size, quality, ect I expect the item shown to be the least expensive option. If I really want something in particular (color, quality...

    just for fun...playing dress-up, courtesy of TPO

    I bought the 60" multi color rope (which I love!), but now I'm kicking myself for not getting the white 100" as well. At the time, I was thinking I don't really need two ropes. I should have known better!

    Agreed! As lovely as pearls are, they just don't completely come to life until they are put on :)

    Ebay pearl pendant- legit seller?

    I purchased a tahitian pendant from aspc111 last fall. It was smaller than I expected, but to be fair I don't have an accurate way of measuring. It was also fairly spotted, which was not apparent in the pictures although the description did mention blemishes. I returned the item & the seller...

    Natural Color?

    The seller is Allure Collection/Pearl Society. I think there are a few different threads discussing them. I've bought from them a couple of times with good results. I've found the pictures are of the actual item & accurate, but I generally ignore their written descriptions. In my opinion...

    Natural Color?

    I purchased 48" rope of natural colored silver baroque akoyas from an ebay seller. The price was low, so I decided to take a gamble. I was pleasantly surprised, the pearls are gorgeous! Maybe I am looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I wonder if the color is really natural or if they have...

    Tin cup pearls better than a full strand?

    I just had to throw my two cents in here & say keep the creative tin cup designs coming! I work in a pretty (read very - it's SoCal!) casual office & feel like strands are a little too much for everyday. I'm constantly on the look out for new tin cup, Y & pendent designs. I especially like...

    Abalone Gone "Buggy"
