Hi Charlotta! Yes, well, these were the get-rid-of-the-dye experiments. I was obsessed with all things pearl, in a more impulsive than scientifically controlled way. I had only pennies and ‘late nights on eBay’, but lots of fun Step 1) Get more thread and needles 1a) Clear a space Step 2)...

****Dont get him started!****

Don’t cry for me, Estelita, no robo-vac can replace you....

And, bring on our chorus, for all the Pearl Girls have brought their hammers, to add to their test-i-mony...

They sold baroque pearls?

Beaders Secret! but, opinion from others online here, as well as the proud new owner who has them on her pretty neck, the SS look pretty tight as far as knots go, to me. Do they need restringing? Just, if she’s going to cut a necklace apart right away, maybe the akoya.... I’m sorry for being...

Please feel better.

Wowee! Look at you in pearls! Yay, from here...

Hi M.Hoze, I’m in Pittsburgh. I PM’d you the name of a local jeweler who loves pearls, and knows knotters, if that’s what you’re looking for. He just closed his bricks and mortar store after a lifetime in the business, but still has a Facebook page. please keep us posted, if you feel like it:D

These are all little, and the way they’re drilled, there’s a beautiful side, then you flip it and there’s the secret world. Much prettier irl. I feel a rope coming on. I definitely didn’t ‘see’ these pearls 10yrs ago. There should be plain white pearls, or Rice Krispie pearls between...

Not only these, but! On my first eBay forays I got some pearls from China, and I thought “What the???? What the heck am I supposed to do with these???” I think I’m seeing, now. I’m grateful I have these treasures, and I hope the drillers and sorters are still employed, and are appreciated...

I was enamoured with the ones that yielded a frosty look. I think they’re called ripples now, but for me the frosties are a tad different. who could not love this pearl? I tried to make this side by side, but didn’t manage it.

Ah, Douglas, everyone was so patient with me, in all of my ignorance and enthusiasm. I still have one strand of my sorely abused pearls, which escaped further abuse while I mulled. 1)stopped the process before the thread dissolved, but after a little bleaching 2) the thread had dissolved but...

Good rationale, rokor! and your gamble is way more likely to pay off than a lot of our early gambles on eBay! I hope it’s more beautiful in person, which it may well be, since pearls are hard to capture in photographs. I’m looking forward to seeing it. oh yeah, those 100” ropes are tons of...

Very very nice, thank you for the bracelet hack photo eolian! and jeg 1) look at those blue pearls, they look electrified 2) more suggestions! Super

Same here! I just thank God for the folks who re-homed their pearl babies, (Cough, cough, you know who you are) and for Sales! Still, I’m not repentant. I’d be heading for pearls, no matter where I started in life.

No hard and fast rules, we just love pictures of pearls, happy to see them anywhere! Post in Show us your pearls too. Since you started with a question thread, I’m glad you followed up with a They got here! thread because that’s a really timely and exciting follow-up, and easy to find. I’d say...

Ps I went to ruby lane to see if I could find the necklace and more photos, but lol, have to say my youthful “can do” has gone. Or eyesight. I’m pondering cosmic things like “Is it age, or just getting too used to feeling safe with known vendors, or what! my take-a-chance confidence has taken...

Do you have any other photos of the pearls? I love the clasp. A way to judge a pearl’s quality is by looking at the reflection inside the pearl. The sharper the edges of the reflection, the better. Given that, you weigh in the other qualities you’re seeking. The color, the size of the...

I like them, the sizes are good and the prismatic colors coming to life in the white pearls give you a lot of flexibility. Much to love.
