It is, isn't it?? It's not mine though, SunSeeker made it! ;) It is a beautiful rope SunSeeker!

I just did a 5mm strand yesterday with single size 4 (I think that's 0.60 mm?) Griffin silk thread. I tried to use size 2 (0.45 mm) but it didn't look great double knotted, and the hole was sliding over single knots. In addition to what has been mentioned already, I think it also depends on...

Today I'm wearing one of my weekend creations--I got some gorgeous peacock Tahitians from druzydesign on eBay, and then picked up some peridot and garnet beads at the local gem show on Friday to go with it. I was so excited to see the strands of garnet, it was the exact colour I was looking for...

hanadama, I love how your metallic strand looks with that grey sweater! PD, lovely lavenders...the slight pink undertones really complement your skintone! BW, beautiful hanadamas. charisyl, I love your GSSP ring. I agree I also prefer pearl rings in simple settings...when viewed from the top...

BN, that bird ring is so adorable. That design is truly one of a kind!!

These new pearls are interesting! I was eyeing some "Baby Ming" pearls from Wendy - are these the same?

Beautiful pieces Ash! I've shopped with them previously probably 8-9 years ago too, their customer service is top notch and I've been happy with all of my purchases in the past.

Those are so creative and pretty!! Enjoy them :)

Thank you MSC, SunSeeker, GemGeek, Kat, battah and lilliefuzzysocks! battah - I totally agree with you, I think they're my new favourite too... their colours are amazing!

Seriously drooling over that metallic peach strand!!

Thanks PD, PW, Kat, Sunseeker, Pareltje, JP and BW! BWeaves-that's RIDICULOUS! I probably get upwards of 50 packages per year through Canada Post (most of them international) and I rarely run into issues with them, but when I do, they screw up big time. I just wonder, if the seller never opened...

I've been checking this thread but not responding, but I've been loving all the lovely pearls everyone's been wearing lately! :D All the T's and even Fiji pearls?! I just received this 9.5 mm baroque Akoya strand from HS Jewellery & Watches on eBay yesterday. Canada Post decided to hold onto it...

Brilliant idea!! I love convertible pieces! Edited to add: those pearls are lovely and you did a great job showcasing them!

baby nurse, BW, Naan, Jersey, Pearly-Whites,LV, mrsadm - thank you! I am glad I didn't wait for the findings I ordered to arrive--the bead caps I ordered were too small! Oops. The simple wire wrapping I've been doing has been pretty easy to do so far, especially if it's for straight forward...

Thank you Pearl Dreams, mm, and pattye! Yes pattye--I'm already looking forward to the next batch of SoC pearls to be harvested. I hope druzydesign gets more! I've been checking the official Sea of Cortez pearl site, too :)

Back in January, I was ogling some of the loose Sea of Cortez pearls and pendants that druzydesign had for sale on eBay. I was *this* close to getting one of the fatter drop shaped vermeil pendants that they had for sale, but I just couldn't do it at the time (spent way too much $$ on pearls)...

Thank you for the info Lugana! I've shopped from Wen quite a few times but have not with PearlOnly yet. I'll have to take a look!

MSC, I've been dreaming of your keshi necklaces! One of these days, I'll buy some Tahitian keshis and do something with them :) Pearly Whites, beautiful ripples! I love the addition of the gold beads in between pearls. Jersey, wonderful coin necklace! Those are metallic! I'm currently working on...

Lugana, Those are beautiful strands!! Their lustre is amazing. Where did you source such beautiful pearls?? I hope these did well at the market!!

Thank you everyone for your kind words! it was inspired by a Chanel necklace that I had (but sold) a few years ago. I wore the necklace for the first time yesterday and because the pearls are a little heavy, the necklace doesn't quite sit the way I want but as many have pointed out that's the...
