If you haven't worked with gold leaf before you might need to read up on it. I use it with Sterling silver and a technique called Keum Boo where the gold is bonded to the silver with pressure and heat. You would need a base coat in the space you want to foil. Pearls are porous so you...

Everything looks lovely ! That strand you are wearing looks wonderful on you ! Cees is a great source for pearls and a lovely guy !

You might ask Wendy at Pearlescence if she has some she could sell you. Also, on stringing tiny pearls. I use those tiny little bead bumpers about every 5 th pearl. That way if it breaks you won't lose everything.

Beautiful strands !!! Just gorgeous - Im jealous !!!!

Douglas - do you know what causes the Blue Akoya to often have a mottled surface? It appears on a lot of the Blues I've seen and there is a pale beige sort of under colour ? And do they actually know why they are blue ? Is it due to a bacterial infection or such creating debris in the layers ?

Well I'm just catching up to this ... Well done Wendy ! And good on them for correcting their mistake. Their reputation is obviously very precious to them and I'm sure they were very pleased to have had their mistake corrected. I had told a story here a long time ago about shopping in NYC at...

Well so many pearly treasures trotted out for the holidays ! I've been flat out the last two weeks so I'm a bit behind ! Everything looks lovely - jeg I love the colour bands in your Tahitian rope. And of course your wonderful style and those fabulous Kojima pieces. Syd , Tahitians look...

I looks like a WSS bi colour - I have found these before where there is a light yellow/gold at one end of the pearl. I don't think the price is outrageous by any means - as pointed out before - it's 18k with yellow diamonds which is pricey on its own. The pearl itself would be a good few...

Isn't she just gorgeous !

The @ symbol is actually very old - going back several hundred years and used in relation to measurements or counting. ( thank you Google) Really lovely pearls !

Charlotta - I do hope you are feeling better - two weeks is quite awhile to be that unwell. Do take it easy as some of these things linger on. Love all your remakes with those gorgeous Wendy pearls :)

I love that one ! It reminds me of the beautiful carved Galetea tahitian pearls

BWeaves - I understand that feeling of being stressed and not wearing jewellery ! I can't stand having something around my neck when I'm agitated ( fortunately a rare occurrence ). Hope work settles soon ! jeg- aren't the Riki pearls great ? The colours are so deep and varied ! And of...
