    Tiffany?s Q2 Profit Falls 30%,Still Beats View, Outlook Raised

    If at all? The plunge would have been much greater had they not practically given away the Iridesse inventory to create cash flow. There's always going to be a small, select Tiffany consumer base which keeps the stores solvent. The less frequent purchaser is the gravy train. The gravy train...

    Your views on a Practical Pearl Ring

    The first ring is beautiful and as practical as it can be for a round pearl. The most practical pearl ring I don't believe is a round or baroque pearl or setting. It is a keishi, mabe, blister, stick, coin or some other shape. Also, those shapes tend to give better iridescence.

    Just popping in

    Looping briolettes can be such a challenge. I forget where I learned my method or maybe I made it up. Can't recall. Anyone have a tutorial? I have a short end and a long end coming up from the pointed top of briolette and snip the short end very short hiding it beneath the wraps of the...

    No calculator needed. This is knotted. If your strand is unknotted, just measure out one inch. 7 3MM = 1 inch 6 4MM = 1 inch 5 5MM = 1 inch 4 6MM = 1 inch 3 7MM = 1 inch See the pattern? Easy to remember.

    French Bullion Wire

    That's what I was thinking when I read the post. Good idea though if you're stuck on a desert island with a treasure trove of Kamokas, no electricity, and the wrong size gimp.

    Hunting for long FW drops

    Perhaps I'm missing something here, but don't you need to know the horizontal width of the letter (at its base) to determine what the MM diameter of the pearl should be first, then that will help you determine what length the drop should be? One pic shows clumped pearls and the other shows a...

    The Longer the Better!

    Your g/f hasn't given you an idea of what she wants? All she has to do is point to where she wants the necklace to fall. A single or double clasp would be her preference, too. If you are just asking our opinions, 24" is long to me and I would put each strand on single strand clasps so I could...
