Hi everyone. I browse this forum constantly but post very rarely. I hope to change that! I recently bought some lovely Tahitian pearls and Vietnamese akoya pearls second hand from a lovely person and they are arriving today. She never strung them and bought them from Cees. In one of her...

They are absolutely gorgeous! I find that my goldens really pop with jewel tones, like deep purples, blues, reds, and greens.

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions! It seems like I will have a lot of thinking to do about what to pair with the pearls and it might be fun to add other types of pearls and gemstone beads to the strand. Does anyone have suggestions for their favorite places to look for high quality...

Hi everyone. I recently came purchased a strand of 5-6 mm blue akoyas. They are from Vietnam and lean more toward blue than silver and in my opinion, the blue color is pretty intense. I will do my best to post some accurate pictures very soon! The strand is gorgeous and I really love the...

That strand is absolutely gorgeous, Pearl Dreams! I think that we would all love to see some more pictures :D

Thank you for the lovely compliments everyone :D This necklace is quickly becoming one of the staples in my wardrobe. The inner strand is graduated but the pearls, at least to my eye, seem just a bit smaller than the outer strand. I am very surprised in a good way that the strands stay as nicely...

Hi everyone! I purchased this strand during the PP Black Friday sale this year. I have been looking for a strand of lavender freshwater pearls for a long time but none of the strands that I encountered were truly purple to my eyes. I decided to take a chance on the double strand when I saw it...

I have a very important question. I have just started to sell my jewelry. I made 25 pieces for Christmas and sold all of them! Most of these pieces did not have pearls or gemstones but sold anyway. My question is do you notice that pieces with certain gems or pearls sell better than others? I am...
