    My thoughts, too, but I adored Kenneth so I am biased.

    Remember, you'll be doubling the thread.

    I've seen rice krispie pearls described as keshi, if that helps.

    OPI makes a color called Kyoto Pearl. I haven't used it on jewelry, though.

    BWeaves, how about using the mabe omega backs as dress clips, near the neckline? Or as scarf clips?

    14k clasp indication of quality or what is the worse mismatch of clasp and pearls you have seen and why is it bad?

    I agree, you want your clasp to blend with the strand, unless it's Cartier level, in which case you might wear the clasp in the front, as a focal point. I think overall, you want your clasp to be secure. Lots of people buy old pearls on eBay, solely for a pretty, vintage clasp.

    Any advice on stringing double strand of pearls?

    I have a double strand that I am working up the courage to restring. The advice here is helpful. Fortunately, I'm not designing it, only refreshing.

    Solar Eclipse Pearl can be yours!!!!

    How is this pearl still available? I was so sure someone would have snatched it up (but I'm not buying it either, so there's that). They have other Tahitians available, there's a wisp pendant that comes with matching earrings. Fun site.

    Yes, thank you for the live streams. I enjoyed them immensely. Sarah may need to find a larger venue for 2025. ;)

    A visit to Takahashi Pearl Company

    So. Many. Pearls. I enjoyed the short video posted on YouTube, with behind the scenes footage. The gentleman sorting the pearls is amazing, he goes so quickly.

    Pearl designer question

    Listening to JTV this morning (Precious World of Pearls), and Mark Brown just said he had a stroke. I'd been wondering where he was. Since he's on tv, I guess he's recovering well but I can detect some slight speech issues. I am sending prayers in his direction.

    I, too, am really enjoying the PP live events, especially that Black Friday series. There are more events scheduled, too, if anyone needs some eye candy or gifts. I now understand the value of PP's virtual appointments, and highly recommend the process.

    What the heck are these?

    Considering the mm size, I'm guessing dyed freshwater (only because I have some in my collection). Honora did something similar, with the 14K clasp. You might look for a small script "H" on the clasp.

    Is my antique pearl engagement ring repairable?

    Jewelry and drains are mortal enemies. I recommend a new pearl to represent your new life together as a married couple. Keep the old pearl for sentimental reasons.

    Chinese Actress Ni Ni knocks out Robert Wan Pearl Auction

    I received the emails and managed to catch the last hour. Thank you for adding Youtube because I'm not on FB. Everything I liked sold quickly. I'll be better prepared next time (I hope).

    Pearl Luster: The Quality Factor Behind a $1.5 Million Price Tag with Pearl Paradise

    I laughed when Jordan fell over. It's educational to see all the strands side by side, so helpful. I am now motivated to pick up a lottery ticket before the next drawing. In the mean time, how much for the artwork behind Jeremy? That might be in my budget. ;)
