Sellers id is "handigreg"...and I think you are right, the tone with which he responded tells me he knew exactly what he was doing. I did direct him to this thread when I responded and asked for a refund+ shipping or partial refund to offset additional material costs, and that is how he...

Those are just fabulous pearls!! They look wonderful on you, enjoy them!

And...here is the original listing, nowhere do I see the oversized hole! (just the normal one!)...

Soooo....this is the response I got: If you look at the Photo on the right hand side it shows the over sized hole. Also if you read the Description it say's "Fully Drilled". I don't think I could have described it any better. If you would like your Purchase price back I will do that but I'm not...

Thank you for all of your responses and advice, I have contacted the seller and offered to send it back for a full refund plus shipping costs to return, or to keep the pearl with a partial refund to offset costs of additional materials to try to do something more casual with it. I will let you...

Well...I contacted the seller and I didn't specifically ask for a refund or to send the pearl back, but I did write a fairly lengthy paragraph about what messy drilling means for pearl useage (i.e. no knotting, having to use a beadcap, etc) and how this should have been disclosed in the listing...

Wow, these are stunning tahitians! Just gorgeous colors, so jealous :)

Oh my word, this is amazing, I love this!!!!

I received this GSS pearl today and overall I am happy with the color, size, and luster (as described in listing), but the seller failed to disclose that the drilling was so bad! One side of the pearl has a normal drill hole, the other side has "two", as if the drill went in twice on that side...

^^I like peachy pink gold pearls, but I can't see your attachment of the nucleated pearls! :( Love your other designs, I like the way you mix materials so creatively!

Wonderful! What a fabulous gift, lucky girl!

My mom has been kind enough to help us out with some interim daycare for our new baby, and I felt weird about offering her money for doing this for us, but felt that a gift to show our gratitude would be appropriate. I just finished this tonight for her (after having to restring it 3 TIMES!), I...

A lovely set indeed! Oh how I wish I had had such lovely pearl jewelry to wear on my wedding day!

Thank you Everyone!! Katbran, I don't suppose you'd share a pic of your new necklace, pretty please? I have a single golden south sea on it's way to me and I'm not yet sure what I am going to do with it...another necklace, bracelet, pendant...the possibilities are almost better than the...

Finally got around to my Chinese Kasumi/Labradorite necklace: I love the color combination of the lavender/pink kasumis and the sparkly gray labradorite...it's hard to capture the color of the pearls in the pics. I also fell in love with a large-hole baroque south sea pearl I saw on etsy...

Amazing pearls! Those are some gorgeous tahitians! I ordered some earrings a while back and had the same question, it seems that the consensus was that the white spots are normal blemishes for tahitians, not the bead or no-nacre. I'll try to dig up that thread...

Thank you all! I appreciate your guidance, this has all been so much fun!

Now that I've learned how to knot, I'd like to learn how to wire wrap! For those of you who do this, would you mind sharing some tips and explaining the lingo? What kind of wire is best to use? What guage? Can you explain the difference and uses for "half-hard" and "deadsoft", etc, and the uses...

This is what I used on my pondslime strand...I don't have any experience with powerpro, but I think that it made nice, tight knots and it was fairly easy to work with. I did have it break on me once and had to do the string over, but the thread had become frayed in that place making it weaker I...

Thank you for all of the tips, I really appreciate it!!! One last question, if you use the small spacer beads in between the pearls but you are using thread, do you knot before and after the spacer beads? Thanks again for all of your expertise!
