    Ebay, again seeking input, thanks to all in advance

    Well might be akoyas then. 38 inches is really long. Could be worn doubled or as a rope. They don't look worn much since the knots are all white and there aren't any gaps. They could also be imitation. Is there a possible to send them back?

    My pearls

    I do have some inches of tahitian keshis left to add to my leftover pile (that is really sorted in a fishing gear box). Mostly really tiny ones. Maybe for a bracelet or something. I could mix them with the smallish tahitians but the keshis are very small, best for use in a pearl chain maybe. The...

    My pearls

    I didn't make the "pelosi" like strand after all. It didn't speak to me. Can't explain it otherwise. I did shorten that tahitian keshi rope down to 22 inches with the vermeil clasp. I have some pendants that looks great with that clasp. The extenders I can just attatche to the strand anyway. I...

    Difficult to say. It could be akoyas and then it could also be imitation. Hard to tell. They are well matchen but I don't see any flaws at all. What does the wendor claim them to be and how much are they?

    Red gorgeous bracelet but I was distracted by that adorable boy. SurfnSci beautiful tincup for your mother. I always find that it is a good idea to wear gifts to someone at least for a bit. Sometimes I find things that I want to change.

    My pearls

    Thank you SurfnSci. I am very pleased with it. I just love sunset colors. Once me and my grandmother did weave sunset fabric to use as curtains in my room. Must have been 35 years ago. I did choose red, orange and yellow yarn and purple brown to use as occational accents in them. My grandmother...

    My pearls

    Thank you Happy Huku , the shades gets all bluish at night right? It's like when I take a photo too late and everything is bluish. I fiddled around some with the tahitians and south seas whilst finishing my breakfast tea. Removed that big peacock tahitian, me and peacocks.... It made the...

    My pearls

    I am totally smitten with my new Sunset and night strands/rope. Especially the sunset part. Those colors makes me smile. I had some difficulties combining them. I didn't want to make it a true ombre strand, but when I tried mixing the colors it didn't look good either. So I grouped the colors...

    My pearls

    I got an idea this morning. I could maybe combine those small dark tahitians with the white and golden south sea pearls and make another Pelosi like strand. Only smaller. These ones Might be pretty. This is my other one. It's been a favorite for a long time and I have never remade it. When I...

    My pearls

    Probably would be more cost effective to buy a ready made strand, problem is I don't know what I want. I already have my rikitea strand from Cees for example, and my blue tahitian strand from Pearlescence. And others...buy it's fun collecting pearls for a project as well. Mostly I have been...

    My pearls

    My beading boards are still a mess. Not-husband thought that the cats had been playing with the pearls, but I had to say that the mess had nothing to do with the cats...it was all me... These pretty south sea pearls from Druzydesign could make a pretty bracelet if I make a bigger drillhole in...

    My pearl earrings

    My pearls

    Thank you CortezPearls. It took me an entire day to make them. And of course I wanted to use favorite pearls that I didn't have available so lots of restringing the day before. There were strands that I really like but some were a bit long so I shortened them to my favorite new lenght of 20...

    My pearls

    And some neckshots and armshots I didn't realise that the extenders were a good lenght for a bracelet until after I made them. I usually use 7 pearls for extenders, well I used 8 in one of them because I wanted them to have the same lenght. I know that the extenders could really be any...

    My pearls

    So they link together and make a 35 inches long rope, or 2 doubled bracelets or 2 22 inches long strands. And of course the single bracelet of 2 extenders. The extenders

    My pearls

    Then the night strand. I wanted to make it like the bleached out colors that appears during the night. The nights in sweden are not always pitch black, sometimes it's just less light but you can't really see the colors. They are just dark, light and versions of gray, taupe, blue and beige...

    My pearls

    Thank you CortezPearls. Then you will love these. I had the most fun today designing my sunset and night rope. It's truly a transformer piece if ever there was one. ​​​​​​I started with the sunset strand. At first I was thinking about making an endless night and day strand, about 26 inches...
