Sarah, Pattye.... I'm speechless !! After you told me that I'm one of the winners of this contest and that I'll receive a "prize" by mail, I expected a little 4" strand of FW potato pearls... Look WHAT I GOT !!!: Beautifully wrapped in silk bag, I found few Tahitian pearls (nice baroque...

I have to confess that since I saw first time this necklace of yours Pattye, I started looking for good quality chrisocolla beads. I love the way you combined those FW's with it !! Yes, your pears are very green too.... and your picture is much better than mine.. LoL...

I'm sure that most are... Those on my picture are natural color.

Bracelet pearls are 6-6.5mm. I bought few strands. For bracelet I picked the greenest ones.. Ring is 12mm. I bought it before I started being obsessed with pearls. As far as I remember it was my first pearl purchase. I bought it together with matching one pearl-on-the-chain-necklace. Those...

Some natural color freshwater pearls have amazing hues. Look at the ones in this bracelet. I wear it today with Tahitian pearl ring. In some light conditions color looks the same... This purple/ green is really green/purple... I love it !!

Thank you, Isabelle for your words of appreciation.. Over the years I showed on this forum few of my pearl creations. I like what I do..... If others like it too it's a bonus....:) I buy my strands of pearls wherever I can find a good deal and good pearls. Never bought anything in a regulars...

close up of the fringe. ( sorry, again crappy camera.. but it gives you an idea...)

Thank you Pattye.. 8mm are knotted , for 2mm, I put a knot every few pearls. Having knots between every pearl did not make it look nice. Between last 2mm and 4mm I have diamond cut SS rondelle.

fakes or no fakes, I liked one design... so I reproduced it. I used AAA 8mm( 3 strands) and 2.5mm + 4mm FW for the fringe...(metal is SS)

:D:o:rolleyes:

.ok.........................one more ... LoL.....

Thank you for the honor !!! As a "thank you" gift, I give you two pictures of my crazy daughter.... One as "pretty girl" and one as dead bride on Halloween....;)

I can vouch for Pearl Society too. I bought from them few times. Excellent communication, great service, they are always happy to send more pictures... I never regretted a purchase I made from them.... and as Wendy said: sometimes you WILL get a bargain.... :)

Oh yessss,Caitlin.... way to go... Love the new look of old pearls....

Hi Pattye.. I don't have my good camera with me... Pearls are very good, almost flawless and luster is A1. They are "chinese" 13mm... = 12.1.. LoL. I got 2 strands some time ago, made a necklace from the best pearls from those two strands. The two I used here were rejected by me for necklace...

WoW there is something for every taste... For me: the Akoya necklace, please.... And I would take the pendant & ring with Tahitian pearls held by birds.. if I could see more of the pearls. Mammoth & squid are cute. GSS earrings and Edison pearls setting are too "busy" for my liking. This is...

Thank you Caitlin and Boo... Boo's nice bracelet designs made me want to share again my projects. We are all a very creative bunch of people and it's great that we can share our ideas and work on this forum.

horrible pictures, but it gives you an idea how I combined them. I did not go "one-one-one..

iPhone picture of what I have on my neck now.... This is the only necklace that had unknown men comment on !! ( like saleclerk in a shoe store... :) And I passed the age to be hit on.. I like this combination in any type of pearls (SS or FW) it always looks good.. Keshi and round ones (or...
