    Gemandpearlover's Lowly Beading Adventures

    Hmmmm.......Sydk. I thing maybe LisaC is right that white pearls seem tame. These pearls are good quality but maybe because they are so big and somewhat formal? I feel lukewarm about my golden SS pearls too. Lisa I do think Tahitians seem to be the most popular pearls on this forum. They...

    Gemandpearlover's Lowly Beading Adventures

    I spent hours wrapping Christmas presents today. I would take a break in between and string some pearls. I am getting pretty fast at stringing them so they don't take too long. Today's stringing: All nacre untreated FW pearls. Some nice pond slime pearls in the mix. The rice pearls are...

    Found my late grandmothers hidden pearls in an old jewelry box

    The luster looks very nice in your pictures. How wonderful that you have pearls from your Grandmother that you can restring and wear. Besides stringing tutorials on this forum there are some threads on pearl care and cleaning if you are interested.

    Lustrous pearl mail received—are they akoyas or freshwater?

    Oh how pretty! What a great find. The clasp is a corrugated ball clasp. Have fun stringing those lovelies. :)

    Gemandpearlover's Lowly Beading Adventures

    Three strands of the natural color FW pearls have arrived and I love them. They are so charming in their imperfections. I made two temporary strands until the other pearls come in. The third strand I hand knotted and added some FW rice pearls. First picture was taken near a window - very late...

    Well I tried to make a lariat necklace with those apatite beads and small freshies and it was a disaster. Some of the apatite beads had smaller drill holes and I tried to force one down the strand and it shredded the beader's secret. Won't be using those again for awhile. Next projects...

    Thank you Katbran! :) I have been on a rice pearl kick. Here is a strand with FW natural color teardrop pearls and dyed greys. My knotting has improved since I started to use a push pin as an awl. The knots are much closer to the pearls. My next interest is in natural color pondslime...

    They're here! Finally the Apatite and tiny freshies have arrived. :) I also bought a pair of brown FW tear drop pearls. They are kind of meh IMHO. I am planning on working on these two strands. I made them to wear together but I don't like the amethyst beads with them. To me the beads...
