Phooey, I was counting already!

Yes, Slraep, congrats! Did the Pearl Fairy whisper the number in your ear?

Tonight I'm guessing 42.

Criminey! The whole lot is amazing, but the "Heart" is absolutely incredible! WWOWW!!

Yes, don't keep us in suspense. You must show us the non-pearl replacement when it arrives, so we can see what was more beautiful than those silvery baroques.

I think any bride would be stunning in this beautiful necklace. Their wedding day should reflect who they are, and their uniqueness, individually, and as a couple. If she wants to wear this beauty, or black, or purple with red ruffles......Do It!

Ditto all, Nathan.

Thank you, Raisondetre, Inge, and Sueki for the encouragement. I mean, I can tie shoelaces, right?? Surely I can learn this. And Inge, I have already ordered the book you suggested. If it comes before the class, maybe I will cancel! All of my pearl strands are new, but regularly worn, so...

I am only wanting to learn to repair any of my pieces which break, etc. I have no interest (at this time!) in trying to produce beautifully designed jewelry to sell, like so many of you. But I felt like the class would give me some of the basics that I need in order to physically see how to...

Someone give me some input....the class is only two hours long with 3 students/1 teacher. And I was told when I enrolled which tools I would need for the knotting class, which included an awl. Remembering what I learned here, I said, "But won't that sometimes split the silk, and cause an...

Raison, and others, I think the colors and luster of those pearls are beautiful, and the knots look great. Your project is a source of encouragement and angst to me, since I've just signed up for a knotting class on Nov. 1. Been watching the knotting video on the "Beader" thread, and I think...

Well, mine aren't torn, but they are definitely more stretched than when I was younger, and sometimes hurting by the end of the day. I'm going with the "Wonder!" Appreciate the tip!

O.K., I found them on-line. It's amazing what I'm learning from the P-G'ers! Blaire, if your piercing stretches tooo much, would it be possible to wear the abalones, and others inside the piercing, like some other cultures do???? :D:D:D

Ear lobe patches??? Lobe Wonder????

Yes, Blaire, what a tour of the spectacular! I love the Care Ehret Cortez on the second row - (I'm saving for a similar pair on her site now!), and the abalone, also. Don't the abalone pair match a ring that you showed us recently? I remember being stunned by it, and seems like they are...

Yes, Blaire, which ones have created a soft spot in your heart, and please model them for us!!! We spats must have something to dream towards! ;) Drucilla

Pearls you don't need???,Raison???? Aren't those two things mutually exclusive?? Drucilla

The light on the pearls and Elisa is very flattering....This is what we "over 40's" THINK we look like! #'s 144, 153, 169, 185, 191, 215, 253, 280, 310, 321, 343, 364.......et all.

Yes, Cathy, you know my tactic is to keep Hubby in the dark!

Oops, hit the reply button too quick. Yes, Doug, that's why I loved Cathy's "twins" so much. They look full, and "frothy", as she said, and not skimpy, like when they are strung lengthwise. I love mine!
