Two recent purchases from Cortez Pearls...a shell pendant and a daisy "spinner" ring. Simple for summer.

Jeg, I'm sorry to hear that your mother-in-law isn't doing well. I hope you visit to the family cabin was helpful. (You look wonderful in that combo of GSSP rope, pendant and tiny pearl necklace.) CathyKeshi...what everyone else said about your SoC necklace. Just beautiful. I hope you have...

What a handsome ring, Multichrome. You did a fantastic job with it. Is the pearl fixed, or can you have fun spinning it on your finger?

I love your "bubble" strand, Linda. The various sizes and colors make it so interesting. And the other two necklaces are lovely, too. You have a knack for combining different gems and pearls!

Wow...everyone's pearls from the past few days are so luminous and colorful. Jeg...that light, multi-hued Tahitian is breathtaking, as is Pareltje's tin-cup. I keep going back to both, as they are so unusual. Pareltje, I first read your description of your oval drop earrings as GASP instead...

The package arrived 30 minutes ago...only had to wait around 5 hours today. :-) Well worth the wait, though. I've wanted one of Sheri's octopi (octopuses? octopodes?) since seeing a few on this forum. The pearl has a beautiful, almost iridescent luster and seems the perfect shape for the...

Just received an email from FedEx saying the package is on the truck and will be delivered by 8 pm today. (Same message as yesterday.) It's 9 am right now, so I will stay home again today, by the door, waiting for up to 11 hours so I can sign for the package. Sorry to be a big, whiny baby...

I've been having trouble with FedEx deliveries from Sea of Cortez Pearls and Pearl Paradise, and I'm wondering if it's a local thing or whether it's more widespread. (I apologize in advance for the rather long rant...) I was due to receive packages via FedEx from both Sea of Cortez and Pearl...

Welcome to the forum, DonnaH! I am new here, too, and pretty new to collecting pearls. If I understand you correctly, you want a strand of small (6-7mm) pearls. I think this size might be hard to find in round Tahitian pearls (but please correct me if I'm wrong, fellow forum members). You...

Love the icy blue and silver akoya necklace, Charlotte. It really reminds me iridescent ice. I wouldn't add anything darker, unless the light tones don't suit you.

What a pretty, spring-like combination, Red. I'm never successful at combining scarves and necklaces, but you've done it perfectly, even arranging your scarf to show those two lovely birds. Well done!

Red--What a sweet little grandson you have! How wonderful for everyone that you've been able to care for him while his parents work from home. And your newer purchases...oh la la! Rokor -- I can't wait to see the WSS with the ruby clasps. 86C -- How clever you were to put the two drop...

(I accidentally posted this in comments about the new forum. Oops!) I am behind in my "thank you's" to all of you who welcomed me to the forum. I so appreciate the warm words. Here is my first strand of "real" pearls. I'm not sure if they are akoyas or freshwater. They are very round (but not...

Here are the Kojima pearls in action, along with a kasumi pendant from Druzy. The pendant is a bit small for the necklace...but I have a huge pink/lavender/bronze CFW pendant on its way from Pacific Pearls. Second photo is the Kojima with a long lavender strand (extended with a bracelet) from...
