    New Tahitians!

    They should be ashamed! Something fishy is going on with those listings. When I did a search, the first one came up but the second supposedly doesn't exist. Then, I checked their store and apparently nothing is for sale. Hmmmm....maybe they got your message Wendy?

    Attention pink lovers!

    Those are beautiful!! The hot pink ones are my favorites but as a redhead I don't think they would look very good on me -- but they are sooooo pretty and different! Thanks for sharing. Kate

    Cathy I'm so sorry you didn't get what you paid for! I've never made a big purchase on ebay because I'm not sure which sellers are trustworthy. I've gotten a few things I haven't been happy with but I just add them to my lowly beading pile -- but when you spend a large amount of money you...

    I'm pretty sure the gold ones are dyed as the string they were on was mostly the same color and there appears to be more color collected around the drill holes. That being said, most of them have metallic look to them, which I love. I'm think I'm going to restring the gold ones with little gold...

    I just figure that as I get older people will look less at my neck and more at my pearls! Anyway, I finally got around to taking pictures of the necklaces I made out of the pearls I got from Lei Family Jewelry that I started the thread about. The first two are of the rope I made from the bread...

    Trying to figure out what I have here.

    Your pearls are beautiful -- what a treasure! I dream of clasps like yours! Love the idea of "Yes, I wear pearls with jeans" group. Now that I know how to string pearls, I've been giving gifts of pearls to everyone and I keep hearing "I'll wear these for a special occasion." I keep telling...

    Great buys and beautiful colors! Glad you are happy with your buys:D A couple of days ago I finally made a rope out of the multicolor strands I received from them. My first rope and whew my hands were tired! I'll post a picture when the sun comes out again (it's Oregon :o). I also received some...

    Question about making a rope with various size pearls

    MST -- I ordered a rope from Pearl Lunar was supposed to be 7mm. I was surprised by the gradation as well. I agree with your assessment. Mine runs from about 5mm to 7mm. I was a bit disappointed although I do wear them and I suppose no one notices but me. Eventually, I'll make my own from more...

    Please advise this Redhead!

    I'm a redhead and I bought some TPO Gemfresh with a rose overtone. See this link for pictures: https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/show-us-your-pearls/3455-sharing-some-my-tpo-pearls.html I have fair skin with a lot of pink but the rose tone seems to work for me. Part of why I chose rose and not...

    Pattye I can see your point about shipping. Some of their lots include shipping while others don't. I guess I look at the overall price to determine if I think it's worth it. I've never returned anything I bought off of ebay, mostly because I'm too lazy to pack it up and send it back! (Probably...

    Elisa, Maryd, and Sheri -- please post pictures when you get your pearls:) Jerin -- I could see how the additional cost that customs charged would not make buying from this seller not worth your while. If I had to pay 30% more it would basically kill the "bargain factor" for me and I wouldn't...

    Under the "Pearl Mail" thread (see https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/cultured-pearls/3615-pearl-mail-2.html for pictures) I said I was waiting for items I ordered from LEI FAMILY JEWELRY-2. This was my first buy from them and I have to say I'm really pleased with my what I received. The first...

    Thanks for letting me know that Inge. It's nice to know someone from the board has ordered from them. I'll let everyone know what I think when I get them. Kate

    These are what I'm waiting for. I ordered from an ebay seller I haven't ordered from before, so it is a gamble and hopefully what I get is like the picture.:o Anyway, I'm planning on making a 60" rope with the first picture.

    100 Inch Rope Challenge!!

    All of these necklaces are so gorgeous. As a new knotter/beader, I hope I have a fraction of the creativity for design I see on this board. I plan to make a 60" rope in the near future from some pearls I bought off of ebay but 100' -- I'll enjoy seeing what you all come up with and learn!:o

    Pearl sizes and PowerPro

    Hi Jerin -- I'm new to knotting so I'm trying different things. I just tried PowerPro (playing with it) last weekend for the first time and was having problems with the knots being too small -- when I tried double 20lb that seemed to work okay but I wanted to know if there was something better...

    Argentium Silver??

    No it's not too late!! Any information is helpful because I'm contemplating ordering some clasps this week for some gifts I'm making. Thanks for the info.
