Here is something I was proud to create, and my Mom LOVED it!!!! But a good friend from Israel talked me into selling it and I did. It was hard to let it go... "sigh" Ombre very lustrous Tahitians and WSS.

Another lucky find. Something that was missing from my collection - SoC necklace. Voila, found it via a friend - SoC soft baroques from 2010. I added a vintage European diamond clasp, 18K WG.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, my Dear Pearl Ladies for your warm welcome (back)! I missed you as well. Trying to keep busy so not to slip into a depth of a depression hole... My other pearl pieces are not that impressive as works of art, but nevertheless I am training my eyes and hands...

I went through a period of small pearls recently, making pearl chains of different sizes, some are still at work... 2.0-2.5 mm cream baby Akoya from Kojima. 17 mm Tahitian drop pendant, also from Kojima. 3.5 -4.0 mm white baby Akoya with WSS pendant.

Thank you, Red! Yeah, this year is out, unfortunately. But I will definitely bring them to any meetup we'll conjure whenever that may be. My youngest told me these are a male a female Hercules beetles, and I was assured none of real creatures were hurt during the production of jewelry, he-he...

At Pearls by the Bay I was fortunate to snatch a few SoC mabes of an exceptional quality (THANK YOU, Douglas!) and then I sent them to Barcelona to one young aspiring artist to be turned into another insect jewelry set, he-he. He then sent me pictures shot on his model and I liked them so much...

Hello Everybody! LOOOOOONG time no hear, no see.... But I am back at this trying time. Staying inside is HARD, but we have no other sensible choice at this time so I am grateful for internet/wi-fi/zoom/whatapp and so on and an opportunity to connect. Maybe my pictures will brighten your day and...

Thank you, Ladies! Sounds pretty complicated :) :) :) I wil try tomorrow and tell you the results. My apology for highjacking the thread, CricketBug!

Thank you, Katbran! Yeah, it is cumbersome. I used hot water and Attack (the epoxy solvent), none worked so far. I redid the strand without it (for now), but would really like to "complete it"... ugh!

Thank you!

yes. They look cool, but my grievance with them is restringing... right now I am looking at a gorgeous cherry T, that I cannot re-string until I find a way to free the last pearl from a male part of the clasp, ugh!

Thanks, JP! The clasp is inside, hidden. I'll take a better pic tomorrow.

thank you, BW! :*

Thank you! They are pretty blue with silvery-pink overtones

Thank you, Ladies! Here are another big blues, not rounds of course, but the sizes are from 9.5 to 11.5, wonderful luster and thick nacre.

My Akoya pendant is 11.51 mm from Cees.

Tonight I am sharing another creation of Elena's studio of very talented jewelers: my new set of studs - FLIES! They are much bigger than the ones Elena brought to the last Ruckus and I am very happy I've chosen those big and amazingly lustrous Tahitians to be turned into these beauties. I am...

Thank you, Pearl Dreams! That is exactly the answer I was looking for.

Reviving an old thread. I have a nice SSP, drilled through that I want to turn into a pendant. Is there a website to look for a setting for it? All I see is for a half-drilled pearls. Thank you in advance!

Yay! I think Sky, Storm, and Gray are so versatile, we should have spools! I just ordered all three. My Black Friday "pearl shopping" is done :D
