I'd have thought that since PMC gets porous when it's fired (Or am I wrong?) it's pretty fragile which means that delicate things might break easily.

Corsetiere: I watched the video with the tumbler that was on the site you linked to, and I think it have helped. It's a lot bigger than I thought it was. Thanks.

Sorry Knotty, I meant tumblers. My Swedish heritage makes me spell things wrong all the time. Out of curiousity, what's a thumbler? What I'm planning to polish is jewelry that I'm making. I mainly make fairly small things like rings, pendants and earrings. I doubt that I'll make a pendant...

So I'm still thinking about getting a thumbler, but I just can't decide on a size. They usually say that they have 3 lb capacity for example, or 6, but that's not really interesting. How do you work out how big they are, how much volume they can take, rather than how much weight they can take?

Most professionals say that they always manipulate the picture using photoshop for example. However, I don't. (No access to PS and I don't see the need.)

Which doesn't really matter because you always use photoshop anyway.

When buying Mikimotos you?re just paying for the brand. Saying "Ohh I want a strand of Mikomotos" are like saying "Ohh, I want a Chanel bag" It?s all about the brand. Their highest quality is just as good as hanadama, but they cost a lot more.

I saw that Druzy have some baroque akoyas up for bidding if anyone is sad about missing out on these.

Thanks for all the pictures, it?s really nice to see all those pearls. And always a smile on your face!

My stepfather is a fisher so I can borrow some fishing line if anyone is interested, for comparing with line in other countries.

Beautiful! Are you going to sell any of these loose?

Nice job! Do you use gimp? It's hard to see in the pictures.

If I get things right freshadamas are gem grade but with orient as well. I ordered the peach graduated strand that was on the PearlParadise's holiday sale, and I assumed that they'd be Freshadamas because: 1. I requested a strand with orient. Gem grade with orient must be freshadamas, or gem...

So now we've started to sort of the nicest pearls and we've drilled a few. It goes quite well, actually. Since lots of people here seem to be curious about how to drill pearls I came up with the idea to post a tutorial. Just one warning, it's probably going to be useless unless you have a...

I bought the undrilled multicolour pearls 7,5-8,5 mm and I'm surprised about how nice most of them are. Some of them looks even like exotics to me, which is why I'm planning to sort out all the extra ordinary ones, drill them and make a really nice necklace with rare colours. Me, my boyfriend...

Had another sale a few days ago. Just wanted to share. Glee.

371? That?s the one I?m after...

If I say what strand I`m after will you promise not to buy it? Can I "call" it?

Hanaleimom: I agree with you. They?re freaking me, and my boyfriend, out.

I have to wait at least another week for mine.
