Hi Red! Your grand baby is adorable!! And I was so completely honored to be featured by CPAA directly across from your feature. Those SoC keshi were such a dream to work with...and they are gorgeous on you.

I love the look of your rope and the random placement of pearls mixing sizes, shapes and colors. I wouldn't change a thing. No one thing.

pearlescence Seriously, I'm always learning new stuff! And let me just tell you Wendy knows her stuff...and then some! The UK and the EU have much more stringent regulations regarding assay/hallmarking than we do here in the USA.

Excellent project idea! I would suggest that you would want to keep the wire gauge fairly consistent with the link on the chain. For instance, I typically use a 1.75-2.25mm solid cable chain with 24g wire. Since your pearls are a nice, larger size, you could even go with 22g wire. I highly...

StarryPearl our dear Caitlin passed a couple of years ago. And for inquiring minds, the ant farm is still going strong!

We do have some spectacular pearls on this forum!

pearlescence Think of Victorian jewelry. Often times it has a darker cast to it. That is usually due to years of patina and oxidation. Its a slow process, but it does happen. And yes the FTC changed the rules regarding "gold". I offered comments in opposition to the change, previously anything...

Her taste in pearls is exquisite!

Beautiful pearls and stylings!! I so enjoy catching up on this thread.

I once found a pearl in a quahog clam (local to the Jersey Shore!) that is now set in one of Sheri's octo babies.

Pattye, how did you snag your copy?!? Inquiring minds want to know!

I cannot wait until this book is available in the USA! If you follow Wendy on Instagram, she has also been doing a bunch of lectures. Can we convince her to do a zoom for PG members, or is that against forum rules? Any way, I really can't wait to devour this one!

Excellent recommendation, and Congratulations Wendy.

Just mentioning that I only sell finished jewelry designs, I don't sell supply.

I love this thread, and all of the beautiful clasps.

I would gladly follow you around picking up your discards...

Douglas, do you happen to have a photo to share? I am fascinated by this process...

Theft is such an horrible thing. But thankfully, you and your family were not physically harmed!

Looking good! Jeg, I love your fossilized corals...I've been working on a pair of earrings using elongated, slightly fan shaped stones. I have a pair of ovals I'm going to set next! I never would have sought out this stone, except for the fact that my youngest daughter asked me to hunt for some...
