Really? I must have made a wrong assumption. I bought a tahitian pearl bracelet years ago on ebay that someone had put on accuflex or beadalon for some reason I don't understand. When I took it apart to restring, the holes were HUGE such that I had to use a griffin 7 to knot them properly...

So, using the french wire method, you would then be knotting 8 threads in the finishing and beginning? I agree...clamshell for the 4 thread. Another question is...why is it necessary to use 4 threads ever?

Yes, Care Ehret doesn't use anything under 20K...I guess that is the explanation for not worrying about the spacers. Hmmmm.

Nicole, I think you identified the problem. I think I would like them better with a strapless gown or something.

Rose gold! Sounds like a great idea. Yes, the studs I have outstanding luster and even color. In terms of PP monthly specials, and products...the earrings are lonely and could use a pendant to match. :D

Wow! Beautiful, original, interesting...fabulous! I love them all. Thanks so much for sharing. I especially like number one -- the unusual shape does it for me.

What a great strand of pearls! They are gorgeous. Now, about spacers. The corrugated ones seem a little harsh against the delicate color of the pearls...(my humble opinion, of course). I think I would prefer the daisy spacers. Are they for you or for sale? If for you, don't worry about the...

Jody, I think you look just fine in this length. It is not a choker on you but it is a short length. They can be worn with just about anything as is. You have nothing to fear. I guess the only thing to be concerned with is the future. Do you think you will continue to like this length 5-10...

Gem Geek: I didn't realize they were still hot. That's good news. Though I am a little too old to really worry much about fashion for myself.

Chocolate tahitians were all the rage last year. So, my unassuming husband bought me a nice pair of chocolate tahitian studs for my birthday last fall. They are already out of style now, of course. They are pretty and I sometimes wear them...and I definitely want to encourage him to keep...

yes...lapis sounds about right. A fabulous stone in its own right.

Wow. The golden south sea looking pearls are like ping pong balls. I don't even think they are attractive, to be honest...maybe in white. If real, they must be horrendously expensive. The tahitian looking ones...to me, they look like something other than tahitians...maybe not even pearls...

pink tourmaline? That is a beautiful baroque pearl, too!

I just want to echo what was said about length. There are pearl shorteners available in gold and white gold that could work if she wants to wear them shorter for a particular outfit, but shorter than 17 to 17.5 is a bit limiting. Of course, if her hair is really short, a pearl shortener would...

Yes! Very very nice! I especially love the silver flowers with the pearl colors.

I have several small lots of loose tahitians I am playing around with (all drop, baroque and semi-round). Nothing matches perfectly because you have 4 variables...length, width, body color and overtone...to deal with. Even having shopped for dangly ones, I never saw a pair that was 100%...

Wow. Remarkable coloration. Thanks for posting!

Ooooh, I like that strand! I can see some of the blemishes if I am looking for them, but nothing that overpowers the blast of lustre and color.
