They seem to be two distinct looks to me - ONJ's 3-strand necklace with white, gold, and dark pearls attached on the chain, and the tin cup style with the pearls attached in the chain. I much prefer ONJ's version of multiple necklaces with offset pearls hanging off it. That's a fabulous look. I...

My favorite is the first tooth test! She looks so innocently NOT innocent! Better be careful, Blaire, otherwise you'll lose your identity and we'll all just know you as "Octavia's Mom". Hey - isn't that Octavia's Mom wearing Octavia's pearls? Why doesn't she get her own? Hey - Octavia's Mom -...

It's also great for those of us who don't have the time or money to invest in becoming beaders, but who would love to wear and cherish unique pieces! I like it!

*alert* *apologies for the non-pearl-related-comment* :eek: Valeria101 - that site with the pearl necklace you mentioned is dangerous! I just found this there! It's so different and unique... of course this would blow the pearl budget for about 10 years, but OMG!!! (My husband says he'd like to...

ahhh.... so refreshing to know that crazy American TV shows haven't yet invaded the whole world!!!

Did anyone notice in the video showing the preparation of the grafting tissue, it appears the man doing the implant at the end of the video is using dental tools for insertion of the grafting tissue?! Is this normally what the farms use? On one hand, it's an ingenious answer to a "what has...

I think it would be cool to use Jeremy's lot to design some really neat white gold custom clasp/built-in-enhancer that has maybe 4-8, depending on size, keshis on it. Use up the lot on a big bunch of these clasps, then don't make the clasp anymore. The clasp could be strung on tahitians, rounds...

You can be my evil superhero, then. I think that's awesome!

For me, price is #1. If I'll never be able to afford it, no use thinking about it. I just get forlorn and angry at all the people who can afford it. :o I find I'm much happier sticking with things that fit in the "someday you'll be able to own one of those" categories. (For example, no use in me...

I met up with a friend recently and was wearing a suit with a white blouse that has 4-5 shades of peaches & pinks in vertical stripes, and had my exotics on. When the topic of having to dress up for work and trying not to go overboard with that came up, my friend says to me, "Ya, yet you're...

I also think this is a great example of how things look so different ON. The first two pics, I was thinking, "eh... that's a nice piece, but still... on a guy... I wonder..." Then the pic with you wearing it makes ALL the difference. I agree - it looks fabulous. Very nice taste.

Oooh... Pernula... you make an excellent point. I hadn't thought about the mental weakness, along with the very valid, "But they're already HERE and I'd have to put the effort into shipping them BACK..." Yikes!

I'm soliciting opinions and advice! My birthday and our 5th anniversary are coming up next month within a week of each other. I usually buy jewelry on the excuse, "Who needs an excuse!", so I was really glad that my husband doesn't take that to mean, "a REALLY good excuse is no excuse if you...

Kojima, Just wanted to be one more of the masses to say thanks for sharing, and WOW, your designs are wonderfully unique and classy!

I disagree! I admit I had a lot of the same initial doubts as Perluna had, until I was actually able to identify the exact strand I got in the pics on the PP web page and realize they really do look TOTALLY different in person (in a house full of compact fluourescent bulbs, go figure) than they...

I'll add a third vote for being more interested if the Tahitians are baroques... in my very limited experience it seems the better colors and "rainbow of fruit flavors" is in the baroques, and I find them more interesting. Plus, more affordable, which is always good for us folks who can never...

That is, unless you're one of those people (like me) whose skin is so pale you become a traffic hazard because of the blindingly white reflection when you leave the house in shorts. I think my skin is 2% grey/blue and 98% Elmer's white. :cool:

Knotty, you make an excellent point about insurance. I wish more people knew about the limitations of standard homeowners policies when it comes to jewelry! A friend of mine learned the hard way when she lost a very expensive ring and thought it would be covered but only ~$2500 of it was...

I definitely understand the out of sight, out of mind concept. I am hoping that doesn't happen. As it is, I tend to wear my things really often since I enjoy jewelry so much, and the really formal pieces that I wear only w/ evening gowns... I like to take out and drool over. :-) Makes my hubbie...

We're looking into a safe for jewelry, watches, and other valuables - until last fall I only owned about 6 pearls in earrings and pendants. Now that is changing (rapidly, thank you all for passing along the bug!) So I've been reading all this info about pearls needing to breathe. I'm assuming...
