Pearly Whites - great purchases! annie, beautiful Tahitian strand!

I'll definitely confirm peg size before getting the pearls drilled. I just wanted to know if having a hole 0.1-0.2mm larger than the peg would still work, since I've been getting peg measurement in ranges! :)

Thank you both for your tips! Glad to hear I can just get a hole that's drilled slightly larger. I think I will do that.

Hi everyone! I'm thinking of buying some pre-drilled loose pearls to set on earrings myself, but I'm having difficulty deciding what size drill hole I need. I'm worried that with some settings will have thicker pegs, so if I get 0.8 mm, they won't fit on some of the settings. I asked about...

baby nurse--happy birthday!! Love the metallics comparison photo. It still amazes me what a difference just a half mm up in size makes!

Thank you everyone :D BW - I love your blue akoyas... everyone is showing off their blues, makes me want a strand for myself! Red - that harvest strand is so neat and beautiful! mm - beautiful graduated strand!! I have a top just like yours, I like to wear my 50" white freshwater rope I a knot...

So beautiful! !Love the blue akoyas, too. If you go into your photo and crop just a little bit of the edge off before uploading, it will remain in the correct orientation :)

Ohhh I'm drooling at those metallic!! (Really, everything you have)

MSC: I love your tiny natural pearl necklace! So dainty and pretty. Luvglitz: stunning Tahitians. That SoC is TDF! BW: beautiful studs! I'm partial to the silver side but both are beautiful :D Kalmen: You are always stunning in your pearl jewelry. Love the long drops on you. I'm wearing a...

Love your baroque strands, Katalin and moneymeister! Katalin: Those look about 10 mm to me. I also use the ruler method described by BW (although I'm thinking of getting a caliper soon)

I think my biggest regrets so far are not asking travelers to Bora Bora (best friend, a couple of years ago) and Fiji (in laws, last year) to bring me back something pearl-related as a souvenir (with reimbursement, of course!) Of course, I know Fijian pearls aren't cheap, but still, would have...

I have a bracelet from Belize just like it... there was a local jeweler who collects conch shells and carves pieces of the shells into beads to make jewelry.

Beautiful lavender beauties everyone! I have to admit, I haven't really looked at any lavender pearls because I'm not sure how to style them. I like white pearls because they go with everything (in my mind) but not really sure what I could pair with lavender!

WOW baby nurse, the lustre on that souffle is unreal!! It looks like molten metal.

Great article and video! One day, I'll own one of these beauties!

It's perfect the way it is...drool!

Purranha, both rings are gorgeous but that GSSP--I just about died and went to pearl heaven. Is it surrounded by yellow diamonds too? Kalmen, those blue akoyas are stunning.

Do the pearls feel slightly gritty if you rub one gently against a tooth? That'll confirm Pearl Dream's assessment for you.

BN, the necklace is gorgeous but I LOVE these studs. Amazing!

Thanks all :D MSC - I got this ring from my husband for Christmas. Its center is a moonstone, which also happens to be another June birthstone! :D The only annoying thing is, the prongs holding the stone are quite large, so they catch on everything. :(
