I can't resist a photo of the earrings and pendant together. So here it is Hanaleimom, the earrings are 14 k 3/4 inch from pearl paradise. https://www.pearlparadise.com/collections/pearl-earrings

Thank you for all your suggestions and encouragement. I now have an order in at Artbeads for .018 beadalon, tornedo crimps, 24 gauge sterling and other assorted odds and ends. WOW :eek: It is easy to spend $$$$$$ there too!!

Those are Tahitian.. I also ordered a pendant to match!... <Just turned to look in mirror and admire both>.. I need a bracelet so I can admire them!!

Maybe you can help me. I want to try my hand at being a lowly beader too. I have worked with silver before, bezels, rings etc. But never wire with pearls. What gauge sterling should I order to fit through the pearls drill holes? Would hate to order unusable wire...Or is argentum coated a better...

So True. They change a lot. Different pearls from day to evening!... should help my budget!!:D. I was contemplating your lighter strand so we must have similar tastes.

Hi Phantompep, The pearls are lighter than my photos. I will show you these afternoon light shots as they are truer to color. My pearls are 9 to 11 mm, and as I said before 20". I feel since I am a bigger person... bigger and longer is good. But.. I also love the closer to the neck look and will...

I just had to share these earrings since you all have contributed to my growing fascination/ addiction :eek: to pearls. The large lavender tear drops are from PP :11-12 by about 16. Lovely!!! They are are on white gold hoops. I also got silver aqua tahitian drops for the hoops. Hmm. I could put...

Phantompep, I am very tall ie over six feet and I don't want to feel choked by my pearls:p . I emailed Pearl Paradise and they extended my necklace to 20" . Any of the vendors here would be happy to do this for you if you ask!

Great choice hanaleimon, I too chose a lighter tahitian strand TANOO 281. It was described as pewter silver with a peacock overtone. There is some green/ pink but I see mainly aqua and silver. I love it! Love the drop/ circled pearls. So organic and interesting. It looks better than these pictures.

That strand is amazing! Excellent work PP. You look beautiful with it on (I always think pearl are best on a person). Best wishes for a special wedding day. Robin

That's nice necklace. I love baroque peals. I am tall and can wear big long ropes, but when the 18-20" are offered i just get 2 and wear them together. Terry I'm waiting to get your baroque akoyas..... on their way now..:D

Hi Terry I have your black rope and love it. Would love the multicolor one if you get it in stock again. I wouldn't use a shortener myself... find it no problem to just loop them. they move a bit but that's fine by me!

If if helps any the pearls are 9.5 by 8.5 and around 6-7 deep. Ferngully, they are 18 k gold but are very yellow look higher karat to me for some reason. I wear them a lot and love them. The designer http://www.juliabaker.com/ told me but this was before my pearlguide days.. 3-4 years ago and...

Thank you for all your responses. I was torn between thinking FW or SS but have never seen SS before so have nothing to compare it to! They look different from other FW I've seen but could just be better quality. I've ordered some freshadama earrings, so maybe that will give me a better...

Hi all I was given these earrings by a rather expensive designer in a trade for artwork. She told me she looked for a while at Tuscon show to find the right type of pearls. But now I forget what she said. Any ideas. You can look deepinto them and they have a wonderful blue, pink, green glow that...

Casey, your collection is beautiful. Like Nerida the baroque akoyas were before my time here too.:( I was coveting the pictures I saw on the forum and greedily snapped up 3 strands from the Pearl Outlet when I saw them. I plan to give one away(if I can stand to!!), keep one and make a double...

An update on my order with Integrity. I have been very happy with their communication with me. I will let you know when I receive the goods. But I realize shipping from China will take a few weeks minimum. Here is their latest communication with me: Hi Robin, Your order has just been shipped...

Hi I'm a lurker making my debut over this. I placed an order on feb.21 with integrity for some beading pearls. I have received 3 emails from Rona and she now assures me that the pearls are ready to be shipped from China tomorrow. I have asked for a confirmation when they are sent. They have...
