Thanks so much BWeaves and Steve! More goldens- twisted together, a strand of SS goldens from Kojima, with a SS multi-strand I put together. SS tokki earrings from Kojima.

Thanks so much CatMom and BWeaves! BWeaves, the beaded ropes are from PBTB last year. Sarah had several beaded ropes she said she and Heather had a fun play day putting them together. I have one more that is a mix of greys and goldens. They were all a playful mix of beads, shells and pearls and...

Thanks for sharing the article, Douglas! A big reason for making pearl purchases through reputable sources, unless it’s not of personal importance. When I was visiting Takahashi Pearl in Kobe this fall, Mr. Seki showed me some baby freshwater he had purchased out of curiosity to compare with...

Thanks so much, CatMom and BWeaves! Hahaha- there’s too much temptation everywhere you look, BWeaves.. Love all your Kamoka’s, too! An Edison pendant from PP from way back, two beaded fun ropes from Kojima, and earrings I made.

If you’re not in a hurry, Pearl Paradise (Hisano and Jeremy) will be doing two Live Events from Japan with Akoya pearls. They will be at Takahashi Pearl, a pearl processing company in Kobe. I have several Akoya pieces from Takahashi, and they are all great quality. You can see the Live Event...

Endless strands and tin cups are great, CatMom! I just finished making one for a friend of mine who has trouble with clasps, so she can just slip it over her head. Also they can be turned in any direction to show different pearls/design. Can’t blame you, BWeaves. peacock and greens are hard to...

:LOL: Looking forward to meeting you and your wife, Steve!

Have a fabulous whirlwind through Japan! I so enjoyed meeting Mr. Seki and Yy and seeing all the fabulous pearls. I’m so looking forward to your Live Event! I’ll be able to catch Day 1, but unfortunately will need to catch Day 2 after the fact.

We miss seeing you, too, BWeaves! Maybe next year PBTB? And Cathy, we’ll see you soon! Looking so forward to catching up with you next month! I hope lots of people are planning to join us in this year’s Pearls By The Bay. Get your tickets!!! Come join in the fun! Thanks CatMom and lary007...

Thanks so much, Douglas, lary007 and CatMom!:giggle: Love everything lary007!!! And I can’t wait to see your new Live pieces- oooooo!

Thanks so much, CatMom! Really pretty, lary007! Tin cups make such nice, easy to wear pieces. I took advantage of the last days of the Kojima sale. I tried these earrings on in the studio and really loved them. Lightweight and lots of movement. Worn with my multicolored SS necklace and SS...

Thanks lary007! And I love your light layers! All pretty pieces that are so versatile and easy to wear. A Spring rope mix from Kojima worn doubled, peek-a-boo earrings also from Kojima, and two tin cups made with vintage Akoya. I made the longer length so I could also wrap it 4x’s around the...

Fantastic gift, Douglas! It looks great on you, too! Tahitian pieces I put together with collected pearls. The earrings have some tiny Akoya keshi in addition to the Tahitian keshi.

What beautiful pieces of art, mariannehunter! There was someone on PG who has not posted in a long time, I think her name was Lugana? She used to sketch around interesting pearls. I always loved her dreamy creations. Your pieces are unique and beautiful.

What a great feeling Relaxedmallard! And they look marvelous, too! Congratulations!

Thanks so much, lary007! I’m glad to have the net because I really didn‘t want to drill that rare Kasumi pearl, but I wanted to wear it. And it’s always so much fun to play with all the pearls in the studio. Wearing the blue Tahitian necklace from Alex Collins, and bracelets made from Alex’s...

Thanks Jeremy! Yes, they have very soft colors from champagne to golden. I love the pretty mix! :arms: YAY! I just clicked on your Japan Livestream Schedule (above). What an exciting pearl adventure! I hope to catch most of it, but I will also be traveling during that time so I’ll have to check...

Looks like you are having fun designing around your mabe, CreatorNewbie! I chose some vintage Akoya pearls from the Pacific Pearls loose pearl boxes in Tucson. Sarah drilled them for me and I just finished making a longer tin cup with them. The shorter tin cup is also made of vintage Akoya from...

Thanks, BWeaves and Douglas! Oooo, I didn’t know there were Kamoka shirts! And that is such a pretty piece of needle art, BWeaves! Ahhhh, a luscious sunset… and the colors on your pendant! Japan Kasumi keshi necklace and a rare, large, purple Japan Kasumi pearl from Kojima. The net pendant is...
