    My first floating Tahitian pendant, and "how" I made it.

    Last night I finally finished making this floating pendant. Reaming a hole to this big demanded more patience than I had thought. Believe it or not, it took me several nights just to enlarge the hole. Picture first and let me tell the story after. So, it's the simplest, most basic floating...

    My pearls

    I like every design of yours and I think they get better and better. I took a whole weekend to catch up this thread back in January, and now you've got so many new designs. How talented. Thumb up. Never stop. :D

    Found Quahog Pearl

    Thank you, Pearl Dreams. Nice color Indeed. I thought quahog pearls only came in shades of purple, which is of course beautiful as well. This pearl corrected my bias.

    My old 10mm & new (old) 10.5mm studs.

    I am very sorry for your loss. But beautiful pearls, Camelotshadow. I suspect the answer to your question is the diameter of piercing needles. I suspect the needles nowadays are thinner than those in the 80's. The reason why I think this way is that one of my friends once complained to me she...

    Found Quahog Pearl

    Excellent point, CortezPearls! How could I have forgotten that :eek:? Lucky not found anything - I'd rather finding no pearls than ruining one. Thanks for reminding me.

    Found Quahog Pearl

    Hey StarryPearl just remember that if the pearls are heated they may "die" (loose their beauty) so first inspect them for pearls...then bake/boil them ;)

    My first and very fun Tahitian rope

    Thank you, ennui. I admire the beauty of harvest strands, too, but a harvest rope easily goes near 10k and that is a little pricy for me. I like these baroques also because I can wear them everyday and almost anywhere without feeling overdressed. It's 35 inches long (or 89cm if you do not use...

    My first and very fun Tahitian rope

    Thank you all for all the sweet words and compliments, I am very happy so many like it! :D​ - Charlotta, the pearl placement was indeed fun yet really time-consuming (for me). It's probably much more intuitive for someone as talented as you. I still can't believe it took me a DAY just to place...

    My first and very fun Tahitian rope

    Not sure why there is an "Attached Files" tail. If I delete that file, it also deletes the 2nd picture inserted. But good enough. :p

    My first and very fun Tahitian rope

    This is my first Tahitian rope, and it's my first rope of any kind of pearls. I made it a few days ago, actually exactly on the day of forum update. So, this is the 5th time I'm trying to get it posted, and also the 5th time I am writing the following text, let's see if I can do it right this...

    Silly question: can creamy WSS be bleached to white WSS?

    Exactly, Pattye! I have a ton of questions and I feel so lucky and grateful to have found a place where people know the answers and share generously. Hope one day I can help with others' questions, too. :D​

    Silly question: can creamy WSS be bleached to white WSS?

    How beautiful and naturally delicate this Argopecten is! The eyes do look like pearls, to me like tiny blue akoyas under strong LED flashlight. Have to say this picture makes me consider removing "scallops" from my menu. Thank you very much for your replies and sharing, Douglas. I almost feel...

    You have huge Akoyas, Karin. I like your new natural color strand. The pearls look very round and lustrous.

    Drop earrings and pendant, gray

    Hi Elias, I do not know the answer to your question but I want to say your set is gorgeous. :) The colored raw diamond is a lovely touch, and the matching is really nice. I have a baroque Tahitian pearl pendant that has same color and similar luster, so Tahitian would be my best guess.

    Silly question: can creamy WSS be bleached to white WSS?

    Hi Douglas, it brightens my Saturday morning and massages my soul to read your reply. I can imagine the touching scene, you and the conch snail... I love your "Life is a pearl..." phrase. I somewhat likes it better than the original one with chocolate, because oftentimes you do "plant a seed"...

    Hi Douglas, Yes, I do. I just posted the screenshot in that thread. I'm using Google Chrome. It's Windows 10 (Professional I believe). Thank you so much for you and the team's hard work! And thank you so much for your super informative reply to my questions. It is so fun to read and learn your...
