Thank you, Redwood66! I wouldn't say it was hard on my first try - I felt more awkward, until I began to find a rhythm. It'll take much more practice to become second nature, but practice is fun and addictive, as Lady_D has pointed out!

BWeaves, you read my mind!! I just ordered a bunch of ivory and cream Beaders Secret. But I think I'll reduce it to 100", and combine the left overs with another type of pearl or gemstones... we'll see... thank you!!

Pattye, to me (and others) you're a master!! It was my great fortune, and I can't thank you enough for your guidance and knowledge!!! Lowly Beadears & Crazy Knotters Club sounds good to me!

I recently return from 2 weeks in Portland Oregon. While I was there our own dear Pattye agreed to teach me how to knot! After a couple meetings at her lovely home, AND a couple yummy lunches we played with pearls!! I practiced and became familiar with materials and tools, but decided to work...

Boy do I love catching up on your thread of so much beauty! I know I'm not the only one who hopes to see you and a few of your beauties at the Ruckus next year!

Amazing pearls everybody!! SS, I like that we have twin sister kojima wss & keshi ropess, and I remember how luminous your Fiji bracelet is - they look beautiful on you! I have a few projects in the works at PP, and found a colorful soufflé necklace I couldn't pass up. Sarah at kojima made...

Whoa, what an amazing feat!! I didn't see that at the Ruckus - I would have had to take that right off your neck and try it on right then and there! That's quite an accomplishment- LOVE!

Thank you, LFS for posting all your pictures! Hard to believe we were all celebrating one week ago tonight! Here are a few shots from that night... -Bweaves wearing her beautiful new Kojima rope -Elaine's gorgeous ropes and amazing Tahitian pendants worn on a black chord -Two lovely ladies...

BritM WOW - love your natural color hanadamas!! Pearl dreams, it seems your daughter just caught the pearl bug- yay!!

Thank you, Katbran, Cicadalady, JP, newberry, pattye, GemGeek, Naan and kalmen22!! AND, thank you grandma for the natural pearl guards!!

I was going through my stash to determine what I'd bring to the Ruckus. I found my grandmother's natural seed pearl guards and slipped them on with the rings. I think they might work better than diamond guards!! Although maybe with added diamonds to the white gold band...hmmm

Thank you, SunSeeker and GemGeek! It was very thrilling to know I didn't have to go out and buy a chain to match the Pendant - we all know how rare that is. And Gem Geek, speaking of good omen Ruckus shopping, I often wear the lovely natural pearl necklace I bought from you last year - THAT...

Stunning combinations!

Very lovely - You wear it beautifully ! I have a very similar chain, but haven't worn it with pearls - thanks for the great idea!

Those are lovely...they sure don't look like accidents! You turned it on a dime!!

Thank you, Ladonna Rama! I'm really enjoying them! Katbran, I agree. I like the simplicity of that enhancer - I think I may buy a couple more in different sizes for other pendants.

Thanks for the suggestion BWeaves. I have that enhancer and use it quite a lot, but it won't fit through the narrow connection channel. In fact, some chains are too wide/thick to thread through. I might need to have one made specifically for that narrow channel.

Thanks, Icy! The rings are all the same size, but they slide around a bit on my ring finger - perhaps a bit top heavy. They're more stationary when worn on my middle finger. I like the options.

Thanks, Cathy! I like the pendant on the chain, as well. I really like that I can wear it either way, providing I can find that elusive connector!

Thank you everybody for your kind comments and suggestions! This is what I originally had in mind for the pendant and strand... an elegant drop of a few millimeters below the strand. I like the formal look sometimes, but worn on a chain makes it more every day. I don't think I'd wear the...
