What a beautiful combo! I love the setting of the earrings. It's very different from what I normally see (I don't have pierced ears, so I don't own any). Are they south sea pearls?

Hahahaaa... I'm another that does a sign of relief combined with a child's excitement of watching something magical happen when the gimp does what it is supposed to do. Nice work, Cricketbug! It's addicting, isn't it? :D

I've been longing for a very fine tip round nose set of pliers to wire wrap 26 and possibly smaller gauge wire. What brand do you recommend and why, and what is the tip width? Interested to know if there is anything you'd change about what you're using. Thanks!

What a great story and life! I'm sure there are ups and downs, but from here, it's like a fairy tale! Are most of your pearls white or gold ssps? You have no idea how much I wish there was an enlargement option on the photos to see the pearls up close! :D

Love the blue akoya tin cups and the green ssp with akoyas!

Welcome! Very pretty pearls! Very sweet of your hubby to get you such a nice gift!

Silver clasps in general are older Mikis and don't command the prices the newer 18k clasps get. However, if there are diamonds or any unique marks on the clasp, they can get pricey. Of course, the pearls need to be in very good condition too. Your pearls look to be nice, but it is hard to tell...

Lol BAS. I've heard the violin is a difficult instrument to master. You've mastered pearls quite well. :D Rocio is a classic beauty and this photo shows it well.

There are knots and it looks like it was recently restrung, or has a good tight stringing. The gimp on the ends is in good shape too. This is probably an older/vintage Mikimoto clasp (silver was very common in vintage Miki) and although those are nice pearls, I don't think those pearls are the...

I can't keep up with you girl! lol! Can you please pass me some of your creativity and motivation? My pearls are getting too comfortable.

Oh, that's gorgeous! The pearls look round in the photo so I didn't realize they were baroques. Unfortunately, the tails on baroque akoyas do tend to break off over time from wear. I have had to scrap a few pearls due to the same thing. I do love baroques though. They seem to have more colors...

Welcome Kim! In case you haven't noticed, we LOVE pearls, esp GSSPs!!! Loved reading the old thread about PNG. Thanks for posting the link, PD.

Yes!!! I love that idea on the earrings too!

I've finally caught up! Love all these beautiful pearls and layering styles. Jeg, you're fashion sense fits you perfectly and your pearls are so unique, just like your clothes. Red, beautiful Fijis and love the new earrings! BWeaves, I agree with Sarah, you've really done well layering. I...

You definitely deserve to have time off!!! Enjoy your trip and thank you for all you've done for us pearl gals and guys!

And don't forget to lightly saw groves on the peg for the glue!

Oh, I can sense a quick recovery in your house BWeaves, so you can play with your new pearls! I have a feeling your T rope won't be alone for long. They are addicting because you can admire the colors all day long. Get well soon!

I liked the original design too, but can see why you changed the keshi out. The new earrings match perfectly with your strand!

Oh my!!! That's jaw dropping perfection and beauty all in one! And you look like fabulous in them!!!

How cool and fun! Almost reminds me of a nut!
