Welcome Faith. Pearls certainly do draw our attention. I see a spot on one pearl where the outer layer seems to have peeled away. Do you see this on others as well?

Best of luck! Glad you have decent sized holes to work with!

Welcome Pearl Bunny. I would go with a known vendor who I trust. Check this one out on Pearl Paradise. It has the luster and overtones you liked. The pearls are not as round, but look to have really nice skins. Many of us find baroque shapes to be more pleasing, made by nature...

Your new necklace is lovely, StarryPearl. Great job with the knotting!

Oh dear Marina, what a horrid situation. Hoping they will make things right, and soon! Hugs.

Very pretty rope and clasp Pearlie Sue. I would recommend contacting Pattye (PatriciaSaabDesigns.etsy.com) and getting her pearl knotting kit. She sells Serafil thread (since 2013) and it is great for knotting pearls among other tasks!

Welcome SarahM. That metallic ripple strand is beautiful and will be so versatile. Here is the one I have worn over and over for 12 years now. Shown "layered" at work.

Gorgeous strand, jeg! Hugs!!!

Great choice, Pearlie Sue! They are beautiful pearls and you will surely enjoy wearing them for years to come.

Hi Dave, Thanks so much for posting this information and amazing photos for us! Good to see you back!

Pearlescence is correct!

Hi Camhatch, If you are new to off loom bead weaving, you might find the book Creative Bead Weaving by Carol Wilcox Wells helpful. She has very complete, well illustrated and easy to follow directions on multiple types of bead weaving including the netting technique used in your photo.

This is really pretty, Camhatch. This type of bead woven netting requires multiple passes through some of the beads. This can be difficult with pearls as their drill holes may not be large enough. You would need to try the required number of passes on the pearls as you lay out the pattern...

Goodness, I would send those back right away and purchase from a reputable source like Pearl Paradise!

Oh Cathy, you and Walter are the best!

I agree with pearlescene. The two round yellowish strands appear to be imitation (with a very pretty clasp). The pearl shapes on the station necklace are lovely.

Wow, Douglas, that is one gorgeous pearl!

Your loom work is just amazing, BWeaves. Thanks so much for sharing!

Oh my goodness, you have a gorgeous ring!!!

If you knot them on a two strand clasp, just twist to the desired twistiness, then fasten the clasp. They will stay twisted till unclasped. Adding a third strand into the mix might be a good idea as the more twists, the shorter the necklace becomes.
