That is a beautiful strand and looks great on you!

Ooh, my new blue pearl arrived at record speed. Apparently this is a middle-grade (B) pearl - the A and gem quality must really be something, because the B is pretty nice!

Jeg, that combo is perfection. Those spotted seashells are the cutest. Oh dear, just as I was starting to head towards Ban Island with renewed determination, a preloved abalone mabe from Pacific Blue pearls leapt out in front of me at a reasonable price... what else could I do...? Fingers...

I love all the creativity being showcased on this thread recently, and over on Charlotta’s thread - so many ideas to be inspired by. Big thumbs up to all the long earrings, in particular. I’m not wearing long dangles at the moment, because the get tangled in my winter coats and scarves, but I’m...

Thanks everyone. 86C, that is a marvellous bracelet stack! I love rediscovering forgotten pieces. Stripes and circles for me today.

Adorable tassel - but now I need to see more of those bracelets...

Oh, parrotlady, that’s a beautiful strand! Those colours are wonderful. Jeg, the sea-glass strand is just so lovely, and I’m loving all your cute dangly earrings. Bweaves, I really like mismatched earrings. Those look great. I’m in my own mismatched earrings today - little black and white...

Personally I quite like the natural apricot-golden colour that you sometimes find on nucleated freshwaters, but it’s definitely not the same as SS gold. The dyed gold pearls I have seen are a uniformly ugly yellow. As Katbran says, the dyed black ones can be pretty in their own right - like...

I like the way the silver cable brings out certain colours on the swan. Also love the shape of those kojima drops. Actually, I love it all - everyone is looking fab. Every time anyone posts a SoC mabe (Jeg!), they zoom straight back up to the top of my wish list.

Lisa, those earrings look lovely on you! And Bweaves, the Tahitians look great both on that olive green colour and with that neckline. I recently fell off Ban Island (hehe) and bought some big Tahitian peacock studs. The pearls are about 12.5mm and wonderfully colourful and lustrous for such big...

I like the pearls and the cardigan!

Gorgeous earrings

It is stunning. I like that it’s circled, too - while it’s similar to Baby Nurse’s, it has its own personality.

Eolian, that rope of Tahitian circles looks wonderful! You’ve done a beautiful job arranging them.

Thanks everyone. Bweaves, your ripples look STUNNING with that top. Love the way the amethyst brings out the purple amidst the golds and greens on the ripples.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, 86C, Bweaves and Jeg. I’m wearing a new (to me) pretty today - a vintage sterling silver opal doublet and blister pearl bracelet. I’m pretty sure it’s hand-made, because the bezels are shaped to each gem. There’s some signs of wear on this - I removed a link with a broken...

Sparkly fun!

Based on the neck shot, definitely the PP!

They look beautiful on you! Wonderful choice.

Congrats on the successful outcome. It looks great. Knotting is addicting - buy lots of Beaders secret!
