I think soldering high carat gold is waaaaaaaaaaay easier than lower carat gold or silver. There are many vendors of Indian (eastern not Native American) that sell 22k gold chains, that sell online.

Thank you all, you're words are so kind!! amti - yes, there are Dave's pearls in the locket, as well as pearls from Laurent and Douglas. Dave's pearls are also featured in the long tin cup with the rough diamonds.

This or high carat gold!

love every single one of those clasps!

morella, just gorgeous! right up my alley, so so so loving the new pendant!

I've been really lazy about updating this thread! Here are some items I've made in the last few months featuring pipis, Dave's California mussel pearls, Mississippi river pearls, and Pteria sterna pearls. :)

Ah so many gorgeous pearls! Those Fiji's are mind blowing, Jeg! I made these tiny (3mm) pipi studs a couple months back to wear in my second piercing, but today I added a couple of sapphire dangles that I usually wear with leverbacks for a lil extra.

Send my hello's to Douglas and Sarah!

They look like baroque blue and gold akoya pearls to me.

Lovely! (ugh to the 10 character min rule)

Gorgeous! LOVE the clasp!

What a wonderful surprise! Congrats on being an abalone pearl owner!

Thanks, morella! The dog clip and the fob attachment part that I made the pendant with are both antique. There's a ton out there though on ebay, etsy, and similar sites!

Thanks, Jeg, Red and SunSeeker! Ahhh so many more gorgeous pearls already posted!

This thread is a perennial favorite, it brings so much joy and inspiration each time I come to visit! Gorgeous, ladies, as always! Today: large pastel Tahitian drop from Jacques of the former Pearl House (please come back to retail!!) with a large lapis bead Yesterday: natural Pteria sterna...

That's an interesting method! Thanks Kat for adding to yours too. I've used the hot water method myself, but have never had to deal with especially stuck on pearls. This is a good one for the back pocket!

Well, it's not me! I purchased a load in 2018, so 2019 I'm on a break (we'll see how that goes lol)

That keshi looks much more tahiatian in that last photo!

I thought this as well - it looks like all the abalone pearls I own...

love love love your Kojima collection - super duper lust worthy! thank you for posting these christmas treats!
