    Found a large purple quahog pearl

    Cool pearl! Looks like a really nice color and shape. How big is it? Can you photograph next to a coin to put it in perspective?

    Look what I found while eating a clam

    What a nice little pearl - a lucky find! It would definitely work for an octo baby head, probably in the size that is just over an inch long.

    Cathy, that's a pistachio Tahitian in squidlet's head, about 12mm, and he's hanging on a cord I picked up at a little shop in Barcelona - a very fine coating of metal thread over a flexible interior...Very versatile, as it goes perfectly with bronze, rose gold, etc. Havent run across one like...

    Cathy, those are little metallic freshwater drops I picked out in Hong Kong. To give you an idea of the size, those little octos are about 1" long, pearls roughly 7.5mm. Significantly more delicate than the first generation octo babies. Thanks all for the nice compliments on my octo-lariat...
