(echo echo echo) Please post photos, Cees!

Did you go through with it?

I like the idea. Unfortunately, I don't think conch pearls make for the best "body". The smaller ones look nice, though.

From this shot, I'd have to say the middle is my favorite, but they are all very beautiful!

Ah, I wish I had put in a special request before you left, Wendy! I'm waiting on finding something I want to purchase before I buy some findings that I need.

No one here is going to actively help you with such an endeavor, pearlqueen. Please take a look at the links Pearl Dreams posted. They have a lot of good information on why it's such an awful practice.

I'm with Katbran. The right pair looks a bit mismatched. I would choose the left, TBH, as the luster looks better. At least in the shot above. My sister is half Filipino, so very dark hair, and she looks great in bright greens and pistachios.

I think I need an octobaby now.

I love the use as a clasp! How beautiful!

Oh, how regal! You did a great job!

breathtakingly beautiful! I like it in silver!

Oh how absolutely lovely! I am obsessing over keshis right now, but find the cost rather prohibitive. I didn't think about a "charm" style!

I wish I had the money to go to Ruckus and all the shows! There are apparently no gem shows in Vienna, which I find odd, and only one in Innsbruck that I certainly can't take the time off to attend. Boo!

Oh, what a shame! It looked so beautiful in the photos! I saw a Cortez pearl once that had basically liquid silver filling in some what I assume were imperfections. That could be an idea.

Flosser was a bust, but I'll go to the beauty store tomorrow and see what I can find in the nail art section.

Ooh, I love the setting!

I so badly want one of the "open" rings yet I fear I will never have enough disposable income to afford one.

I'm going to try the flosser idea and also try to taper my brush a bit. I'm having trouble with the lacquer drying too quickly on the brush when I'm using just one (thicker) hair that I took out. I will of course post pictures when I get something worthwhile!

This is significantly harder than I thought it was going to be. I ordered some pearls from Wen, but while I'm waiting for those to get here I went ahead and bought some beads to practice on and it's awful. I feel like I need a smaller brush, but I got the smallest I couldn't find.

I think you made the right decision keeping the black and white pair. And you're right, there's always ruckus.
