Here are mine (or they will be once this attachment pending thing resolves!) It kind of killed me to cut apart such a pretty little necklace but I already have a very nice set of wildly baroque akoya, and I needed the smaller pearls for this necklace. I used grey-green sapphires (which have...

Sheryl, are yours coming USPS? Mine were shipped UPS and arrived today.

:o:o Aww, Nerida, you're making me blush! I really do tend to wax rhapsodic about these, and it is funny because I am a bit of a nacre snob. However, they really are exceptional. I am quite jealous of Steve for snagging the large strand, but I am glad it has found such a wonderful home.

More nice work, maryd! I really like your choice of clasps - so pretty and dainty. And the keshi are all beautiful - your mom is lucky you were willing to "share"

Rats! :( I'm so sorry - I placed my order this morning and I guess I got lucky. I am really surprised to see a monthly special sell out in a day. Does anyone know if the other sizes are selling out or just the smallest ones?

Try choosing the yellow clasp instead of the white - I got the "out of stock" message when I tried to order the 7-7.5 in white gold, but was able to successfully order the necklace with yellow (and since I am just going to cut it apart anyway, the clasp color didn't matter to me). You can always...

maryd, I don't mean to be cruel and evil, but you had mentioned that you were looking for pearls this color, so... BUY THESE!!! The smaller pearls are under $100 and I know that $100 is still a lot of money, especially in today's economic climate, but as a blue-crazed pearl-girl, I can tell you...

Nope - I "adopted" them from an artisan on Etsy and posted about it here: https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/other-stuff/3388-mussels.html

You did a wonderful job with it and it does look stunning on you.

I have a coworker who is from the Philippines. She has some jewelry that she inherited from her grandmother, and I am wondering if they might be natural pearls. She thinks (but isn't certain) that they are probably somewhere around 90 years old, and that they were collected by pearl divers...

Since my cool-color preference is well-known, it is probably no surprise to you all that I immediately pounced upon Sheryl's beautiful aquamarine necklace. It just arrived to warm up this cold dreary winter day and I couldn't wait to try it on, so here is the requisite neck shot to show you just...

Just awesome, Sheri!

Just beautiful! It looks like you did a great job with the matching and they make a stunning set.

It looks great! Congratulations on a very pretty necklace :D

Fabulous!! Janus is the perfect name, and it is a lovely, lovely piece.

:D:D:D Yep - we've all been there!

The keshis sound large enough that reaming them wouldn't hurt, although as Caitlin suggests, just going down on the thread size works too! And since I don't think anyone specifically answered it yet, yes, you do have to cut the strand off the needle and then rethread each string through the...

I don't know if anyone else does it this way, but after I have gone back through the pearls the second time (i.e., after looping the clasp on) I don't do the overhand knot like I did between all the pearls (treating both strands as one unit and passing the pearls between the loop) but rather I...

Oh, Caitlin - you are so funny! :p
