Wowsa! That's gorgeous. I just ordered a drop pearl that seems to have exotic coloring from Kojima along with some strands and I'm psyched!

I'm impressed by your wonderful work!

Cathy: Thank you so much for posting those pictures. Absolutely gorgeous. For the pearl you bought for your mom, did you request a different bail than what is on the monthly special? I really like the one you have on yours better than the one advertised. Pattye -- You're a beautiful woman! Kate

By the way -- the flameballs are gorgeous. I keep going back to look at the picture. Sometimes flameballs seem too big but those look like they are just the right size! Kate

All of your pearls are so gorgeous. Cathy, would you be so kind to post a neck shot of the monthly special? I'm considering getting one in the color you received but seeing it on someone might help me decide. Jeremy -- When are the exotics strands coming? Kate

Purlgirl: Saw these on Pearllunar's ebay site -- usually you can offer 20-30% less. http://cgi.ebay.com/AAA-white-silver-tone-pearl-PAIR-beads-8x14mm-teardrop_W0QQitemZ360177464196QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item53dc3ff384&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262

Looks like moss to me. Got to say, it kinda grosses me out -- kinda like having a chia pet growing on your finger.:eek: Just my humble opinion:rolleyes:

GemGeek--So the pearls are lavender or are they copper or both? Either way, vavavavoom!

Did you all see PP's monthly special? Here's the link: http://www.pearlparadise.com/105110-mm-Exotic-Freshwater-Pearl-Pendant3034.aspx PP is offering an exotic freshwaters in a pendant for $155. I'm seriously thinking about taking the plunge. The earrings are too big for me, but a pendant seems...

SR -- I'm soooo impressed with your necklace! If I may ask, how long to did it take to make? For argentium findings -- the last time I ordered it was from G&S Metals (http://www.gsgold.com/cart/idxargentiumssmillproductsandfindings.asp) and was pleased with my purchase. They require a $25...

I've use Argentium silver too. I especially like using it when making jewelry for gifts because the gift receiver doesn't have to worry about much, if any, tarnish. It is shiny like white gold but at the fraction of the price. It is slightly more expensive than regular sterling. One drawback...

Those are beautiful!! Irradiated or not, the color is gorgeous and looks like they have a rose overtone too.

I use a thread burner on silk and seems to do a good job and it has never once burned a pearl; although I still use a spot of glue just in case. Kate

Sheri -- those are gorgeous! You guys give me so many ideas!

I totally hear you guys re: the books. Luckily, I'm done with my course work and moving into my preliminary exam phase so I don't have to buy any books this coming fall. However, I used this to justify the $122 expense on buying a 2001 edition of The Book of the Pearl. I do have some guilt over...

How beautiful! Did you use some copper beads too or are they all pearls?

Lucky! What a beautiful book. The University of Oregon has a first edition copy, so I ordered it inter-library loan so I could at least look at it for a little while:o I did order a new copy (2001 pub date) from a seller on Amazon for $122. There are several available from various sellers for...

Michael-- What sparked my passion is luster and orient -- so obtainable and unobtainable at the same time. Pearls that have orient are mysterious for me, meaning that I can see it and almost want to fall into it. Every time I look at a pearl that I own with orient and luster, I always see...

How cool is that! Thanks for the information. I learn so much here!

Caitlin -- where do you purchase bead boards with a plastic cover -- what a great idea. Can you recommend a place to purchase for the dremel? MST -- love the idea of using a Sharpie on Power Pro -- would never have thought about that. Re: the Thread Zapper -- worth every penny. I use it on both...
