Well, what with one thing and another, it took me rather longer to finish the "proto" necklace I showed you guys a while back. But now it's done, and here it is. As usual please forgive the photography. It's this or nothing. I never seem to have time for pretty composition. My other set...

HA! I knew that the proper justifications would come! :D Thanks to you both, Satine and Barbie! I already had one compliment on them. Unsolicited adn from a MAN no less...said the color looked good on me. How cool is that?? I really do love them, although I'm still not convinced I will...

Thanks all for the nice comments! I know that there seems to be a dearth of girls who like, or maybe more correctly, can WEAR, peach pearls, and that whites might show up better, but I really fell in love with the peach ones on the multicolored strand I ended up sending back. And as nice as...

Pattye, I think I may agree with you. Freshadamas are gorgeous, and I'll admit I've not seen a full necklace of them yet, (I suspect I will though), but I don't see how anything could be lovelier than these. They're just incredible! And I feel like a goofball....going through the entire...

AAAAAA!!!! I just got my PP 36" strand of FW peach baroques!! They are even more gorgeous-er (the technical term) than I hoped. I'm so glad I sent back the multicolored ones and went for the straight peach. Gahhh! I just can't keep looking at each one! Everyone will graciously refrain...

Truly gorgeous! I'm sure quite a few on here would let you destroy their strands any day! ;) Especially love the first one...so asymetrical...

GemGeek: Not rude at all, fear not! I appreciate the info. And impressed by your knowledge about stones. Are you a rockhound too, in addition to pearl fanatic? And Barbie, I too always vow to write stuff down, or file it properly, but rarely do. Alas, I'm not a filer, I'm a piler, and I too...

Thanks Barbie. I actually bought 3 different delicas, not knowing which would be best. (It's just an excuse, I know, for adding to "the stash") I have some that are more silvery, and some that were just crystal-ish. Neither had quite the oomph as the ones I used. Thanks for the nice comments...

Thanks Gemgeek. I did think about going darker but the whole thing just screamed silver and crystal and going darker would have taken away from that, I think. My photos don't do justice to how glittery the thing really is... Here's one of the wire-wrap and chain necklaces I've done in the...

Technical difficulties. Let's see if it let's me post the pics this time....

Hi all. I'm making my first foray into "beading". I've done wire stuff before - mostly earrings and chain-type necklaces - but not beading, not anything using thread. I have NO idea what I'm doing but hey! that's usually how I end up doing stuff: diving in. I'm studying the wealth of...

Photos!! MUUUST HAAAAAVE PHOOOOOOOOTOS!!!

Well, I'll be danged! I guess I DID do that didn't I? I think I did it last night some time. I've slept since then! :o But I dreamt of pearls...does that get me off the hook? ;)

LOL! You're using my name, so you really do know me over there don't you? ;) And I'm going to have to get me over to the beaders' forum right quick, as I see that I'm quickly going to be needing the input there. I plan to start work on my first necklace today.... I'll post pics when the...

Indeed I am from the other forum. I didn't change my moniker too much. (Perhaps I should have?) I am there because I've managed to make contact with a few folks that I now call friend. But I find myself drawn more and more to pearls. More bang for the buck, and so much more variety!! I'm in...

Thank you all for the warm welcome! And you're right - I AM addicted. And it happened so easily. I'd never thought of myself as a pearl girl before. How did it happen?? One minute I'm thinking, Oh, pearls are so June Cleaver, and the next I'm dying for strands and strands. Go figure. The...

Thanks Pattye! And yes, I AM a quick study....at least when it comes to any type of jewelry, which is a passion. The internet has made it so much easier to obtain the knowledge necessary to be an informed "pearl/diamond/whatever" obsessed person.;) I've done a bit of wire wrap jewelry, a...

Hello to all! I've been lurking for awhile, and decided it was time to post. First, this is a great forum with amazing amounts of information. I've barely scratched the surface, so I'll have bunches to keep me busy for quite a while I'm sure. Anyway, after reading there and here, I asked for...
