I can't wait to see the pictures of the strands when you receive them Pattye. I am really taken by the colors of the strands-they appear gorgeous. I haven't seen FW bead nucleated pearls so small before and wondered if it was that uncommon. I think it is good that forum members noted her...
Not glamorous but I love the soft pastel freshwaters. Today I am wearing a 36 inch light pink/lavender necklace doubled up. The pearls are 9.5 to 10.5mm. I think the pastels go really good with grey which I tend to wear a lot of during the winter months.
I saw these on Etsy (Wen Pearls) and thought it was interesting how small these bead nucleated FW pearls are. I have only been interested in pearls for a little over a year so maybe this is not that unusual? These are 4 to 4.5mm. I am not in the market to buy them, but they do look pretty. I was...
Jeg- love the way you layered your GSS pearls with the keshi pearls and SS pendant. Very stylish.
BWeaves your retro look is beautiful. I especially love the ruby and Akoya earrings. Very classic look.
Charlotta the rainbow strand looks really good with the GSS strand. I love how the rainbow...
Lastly I have been on a pink and lavender tissue nucleated FW bender. I will be restringing many of these and adding new strands. Will post some of those when the last strands arrive. :)
I wonder too Amti. They are pretty though.
Next project was turning lemons into lemonade. I have about 4 strands of 10-11mm FW white pearls that have been laying around. I bought some beautiful color lavender and peach potato pearls from Wen on Etsy. The colors were gorgeous, the pearls...
BWeaves both new Tahitian strands are lovely. Gorgeous, amazing, unique, lustrous, fabulous......I am running out of adjectives. And that clasp on the harvest strand is adorable.
If you like circled Tahitians Wen Pearls on Etsy has some affordable strands in your budget range. They are not Pearl Paradise quality but still pretty.
Just an FYI- the claps I posted are listed as "India Silver". I am not sure I would recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin. I have a ring that was created for me when a relative was visiting India. It is marked sterling silver but the metal does not resemble any sterling silver I have...
Jesskat I bought my clasps at New Mexico and Bead Fetish. They have a website and are at Tuscon now. Here is a picture of the amethyst clasp with 10mm pearls. Be aware they sent me a different clasp than ordered but I didn't contact them about it because I liked the clasp.
Thank you for your kind words Pattye. I love reading your posts and comments on this forum. You are always so encouraging and your love of pearls is so evident.
Incik Boncuk- Gorgeous Tahitians- such wonderful luster and they look perfect on you.
Today I took a break from freshwaters and wore a baroque blue/white Akoya strand.
