The earrings are really special. The quartz is a nice touch for a new twist on pearls! I'd love to see ear as well as neck shots.

Sheri, I love what you are doing with FW pearls. Very creative uses, and my under 35 customers go crazy over your designs - "How cool!" is the usual comment. Your stuff is so wearable -- though I do like my traditional stands, too. Grandma, over and out.

Thanks for posting this, Caitlin. So many people are afraid to invest in pearls because they think they'll break under even normal wear.

Thanks for posting this. The pearl and leather jewelry really will appeal to the non-traditional jewelry fan.

Yes, inter-library loan is a great way to get the book. Glad my post may be helpful, too. Strack's detailed descriptions of mollusk biology underscore the importance of sustainable pearl farming. Mollusks' natural water-filtering abilities is beneficial to the environment, but waste build up...

Dear Sheri, I love your Goth designs, and I know my younger customers would love them, too. New Englanders are a little less conservative then their rep. My customers constantly tell me that they are looking for something "different", and your gorgeous, creative pieces certainly are that! Give...
