Red, really love the combination you are wearing. The pendant is elegant with the Kasumi dangling.

Thank you everyone. I love the strand available to me from the PP site. However, I would have loved to have seen all the strands together at Ruckus with my own eyes. . What eye candy that must have been. Does anyone know the total altogether that were available?

More Pictures More Pictures More pictures. The first with the harvest strand doubled but with a necklace shortener so the bottom strand drops down longer. In the second picture, the necklace is just doubled, and I have added my SS mixed strand.

I couldn't wait for this to arrive after seeing all the luscious strands that were bought during Ruckus. I almost grabbed the box out of the poor FedEx guy's hands, after all, I waited all day for the truck to arrive.. And, they are just beautiful. My strand is 54" long. The SS white pearls...

Thank you everyone for the wealth of information. The way I knot using a needle is basically back stringing so doubled thread ends up 4 ply. I usually use BS #30. So .8 drill holes sound good.

Newberry that is one gorgeous SS harvest strand. How long is it? I also love the layering you did with other strands. I don't even have mine yet, and I am thinking of shortening it to 34 or 36" and making a tin cup with the rest so I can layer. Otherwise, I will always have to double it since...

Thank you JerseyPearl. The information will be very helpful.

I'm about to buy some pearls from etsy and want the vendor to drill the pearls. The pearls are 12 - 15mm. What is the usual size to have them drilled? I will be using Beaders Secret 30 with doubled thread. I will also need a little room for the back stringing by the clasps.

CathyKeshi, your strand is really gorgeous and even more special that it was a gift from you husband. I really wanted one of the longer strands but the budget wouldn't allow for it. I do not think this strand has as many interesting shapes as some of the strands bought at Ruckus. I have...

I was blown away by the Ruckus strands bought by Red, Newberry, KaySD and CathyKeshi. So, when I saw the seven strands being offered by PP, I had to have one. I bought the 54" strand that is 7"- 15"mm. I promise to show pictures when I receive it.

Just beautiful. My hands and eyes hurt with the amount of work that went into your wire project. I often wear a jewelers magnifying headpiece when making small loops. It's probably just my old eyes.....

Big pearls, right up my alley! I love the colors.

I melt when I see SS goldens. Those pearls are absolutely gorgeous on your daughter's neck!

A true tribute to Caitlin. Through everyone's posts and pictures I almost feel as if I knew her even though I have unfortunately never had the chance to attend a Rukus. I certainly have read her posts.

Got a real giggle with the fantasy figures adorned with pearls!

BWeaves, I live in a hot climate too. I do put lots of sunscreen on, but skimp on my neck because I'm so worried about residue on my precious pearls.

Thank you Katbran for the ideas. Let's see what I can come up with.

Battah, I love your pearls with the pendant. I am going to the gem show on Friday. I am determined to find some interesting pendants to combine with the strands I buy and then string. Wish me luck!

Lady in Blue Lady in Blue Summer is in full swing here in Texas. So, I am out of my funereal black and into more colorful clothing. I am wearing my baby Tahitians bought last summer from PP. I am wearing four strands of silver blue Tahitians ranging in size from 6-8 mm. These pearls are...

What beautiful jewels for work. I'd wear them for fancy dress too. Really gorgeous. Cyndayco
