    PearlsAmerica.com ? Freshwater or Akoya

    Someone sent PG a message today and asked me about an eBay seller called pearls_america. This eBay seller also has a Web site called pearlsamerica.com. The eBay seller claims to only sell akoya pearls. He also claims that akoya pearls can be cultured in freshwater.(I?m not kidding). Here is an...

    The Pearl Doctor

    The BBB button worked when I went over there, but I only tried one. I guess that TPO and Tender Beauty Pearls have a deal. This site seems to be another version of "new" marketing techniques. Perhaps a bit like One Pearl? or even the antique jewelry investor's site. Some kind of partnership with...

    My pearl is (gasp!) too big!?

    That seems to be a very good solution. I think your collection is great and it will be fun to construct with them.

    Have you ever peeled a pearl -We Have and look what we got

    I know nothing about tumbling. I mean like a fine pumice or bamboo chips? Or walnut shells?

    Nautilus pearl

    I can't access the link today. I did access it yesterday. So that program is from the Bangkok event. I got out my nautilus shell today and looked at it carefully. the outside of the shell displays a very similar pattern to the photo above. I think someone called it "tiger stripes" which seems...

    WPF - The World Pearl Forum 2009

    Peter, That was a great photo essay. Every picture was good. Neat to see photos of everyone who is anyone in the pearl world! Well, at least a goodly portion of them. Jeremy, I am glad to see pix of your abalone beauty in such lofty surroundings. Who needs a tie when you can sport one of those!

    World Pearl Forum

    Thanks to all of you for your kindness. This will slide into the past as a joke about me banning Jeremy- at a major pearl conference too! But I think I will still blush when people bring it up because I don't like it when I goof up. At least I had nothing to do with the glitch that messed up...

    Top Ten Boo-Boos LBers (and knotters) make.

    Your one thread at a time is a good idea if you get stuck. For the past couple of months, I have been using a silver bead and one or two spacers to tie the knots. I like to put two knots in because if one comes undone, then there will be another knot, then I pass the thread thru the third bead...

    First stringing attempts

    A genuine Beader! Yeaaay! (Increase that stash, including pearls!) Your work is great, keep showing us. I love brown and turquoise because the inclusions/matrix or veins are always brown.

    power pro runs in red and yellow colors. Don't use them.

    I don't remember saying that-couldn't find it in the quote. I personally do not like glue on a knot and have tried it out, but didn't like it. While I am not a member of a firm that has strung necklaces since 1939- I personally have been stringing necklaces since 1966- that's 42 years. Yone...

    Xmas Idea 2008

    Satine de la Courcel (Ashby) is a 16th century buff, but she she makes everything herself. She has made some expert comments in her posts. Those bodices on the wench wear page, have bones in them so they really make one look wenchy. I want one.........think it will help an old wench look young...

    Silver/goldsmithing

    I forgot this part: Very general questions are ok, but not asking how to work with explosive gases. I step in when it has gone too far. Go visit, maybe join, ganoskin for these kinds of questions. I would prefer not to hear any more defensive arguments or complaints about this subject.

    Silver/goldsmithing

    No one is complaining here but you, Mervione. I'd love to see 10 posts in a row from you, with no whines or complaints. I saw in posts # 38 - - and 42 that is 3 times I found after a cursory look, when you asked "how" to do this or that. That is what I was referring to when I said teaching...
