Okay, here are my pearls: The white rope is 100" of 8mm chunky FW baroques. I didn't knot this myself, it was a store purchase. A number of the pearls on this strand have nice orient (I made them show me all the strands they had, and the others were all pretty average. This one really stood...

I have a 100" strand of white chunky FW baroques. It is a very impressive necklace - with Akoyas it would be luxe indeed!

I actually like the blue/white, but I am biased in favor of that color combo. It seems bright and clean.

So, Caitlin - you shampooed and soaped right over them and they suffered no ill effects? I am always paranoid about getting anything on the pearls - I take my bracelets off when I wash my hands, etc. Am I overreacting? Also, I envy those of you who can sleep in necklaces and not a) practically...

Oh, wow Caitlin! I can't even imagine trying to knot 1mm pearls. The smallest I have done were 2.5mm garnets and they were tough enough. Bernadette, your rope is lovely - very rich and luscious.

I like the alternate views options. And the candy thing is cute, conceptually, but really makes me want to grab a cloth and clean off any chocolate that might be on the pearls! Ack, Waimeamomi beat me to the chocolate comment. But it's good to know I'm not the only one who cringed!

Mikeyy, you are too funny!

One more comment about purchasing from the PG vendors, big and small. My pearls mean much more to me when I can associate them with the various friends I have here. Some of you may not even realize that I have purchased from you - although I do get a kick when folks make the connection. Those I...

My own 2c is that I have always viewed Callire's sale threads with a bit of a wry smile on my face, remembering when I was young(er) and (more) excitable. I find her adorable. I think she is just very enthused and wants to share that enthusiasm. They are sort of a preemptive "show us your...

It is pretty impressive, Wendy. I have some e-books on my iPhone, but the screen is kind of small and I fid it pretty dissatisfying. When we took our trip 2 weeks ago, I packed a half dozen paperbacks and barely made the weight limits for my suitcase, whereas DK had the Kindle in his carry-on...

That sounds like the perfect way to deal with it - return to it when the frustration has faded a bit.

KP, there is a button on the Amazon page (just under where the book image is) where you can "tell the publisher" that there is demand for a Kindle edition. I don't know how receptive the publishers generally are to the requests, but I went ahead and did it - maybe with enough P-G demand, they...

Happy birthday from me, too!

Oh,wow! Those are stunning! I am not usually a fan of dyed pearls, but I would wear those in a heartbeat.

Hooray! I'm glad your "lost opportunity" found its way back to you :D

Oops! gravityalwayswins beat me to it! But especially since your pearls are baroque, I would be very tempted to mix them up.

Have you considered interspersing the graduated pearls with larger pearls? I have 3 ropes that I really like that use graduated pearls randomly sorted into groups between larger sized pearls (and the larger pearl sizes vary as well). The dark one is black FW with Tahitians and probably shows the...

Yikai, I sent you a pm.

To me it looks more like a heartfelt tribute to the Amanita muscaria mushroom - it gives off a "beautiful (?!) but deadly" vibe that will surely be the hot trend next season...

Hi, Josh. I requested the peacock because sometimes PearlParadise is able to satisfy my whims (and sometimes they are not) and while I have several greens and some multicolors, I don't actually have any peacock pearls. I just requested them to round out my collection a bit. Part of the reason I...
