    Gemandpearlover's Lowly Beading Adventures

    My clasps came in. They sent me the wrong amethyst clasp but I actually like it better. The clasps are very substantial and heavy. I used the garnet clasp with a strand of lavender pearls that are more rose tone. I don't know what I am going to do with the amethyst clasp yet.

    Jeg those Fijis are amazing. So beautiful and versatile. I love the earth toned colors and stunning luster. And thanks ladies for making me feel better about my arms. :) Today I am wearing a 13mm all nacre, FW Klonk strand. The color is kind of a light peachy, pink, lavender.

    Well I lied. I bought more pearls. A klonkish strand and another lavender strand. I loved, loved, loved the clasp that came with the lavender strand I bought from Wendy. It is sterling silver with an amethyst. So I bought some similar style claps from a US seller to restring my new lovelies...

    Beautiful necklace Linda. I love the rich color of the tanzanites. I understand how easily strands become broken when working with smaller gemstone beads. I think they just aren't totally smooth on the inside which leads to them shredding the thread sometimes.

    Thanks Charlotta. I think this picture is a bit more accurate for the color of the larger strand. There is nothing like outdoor lighting. I am glad I love my freshwaters again. Funny how different seasons bring out different preferences. Last picture is why I put myself on a pearl ban. I...

    Very pretty strand Red. I like the soft pastel colors that look great against your sweater. It is cold here as well. We took a two mile hike in 14 degree weather today. It was going well but we went a bit off the path due to the ice. Our friend went a bit rogue, not following my guide. I heard...

    So my metallic lavender strand arrived. I really liked it but there was one dull pearl that needed to be removed and replaced and it was strung on what looked like thin, white cotton thread. I restrung it using Beader's secret lilac. You can see the lilac color of the knots pretty easily in this...

    My Wendy (Pearlescence) lavender pearl strand just arrived! :) I was not expecting this strand until next week. I love it! Look at the super cute silver/amethyst clasp. I am going to admit I have a bit of OCD and hoarder gene in me. Being a neat freak I have found that my hoarding works...

    Gemandpearlover's Lowly Beading Adventures

    The flowerbed example is a good one Charlotta. Sometimes I think a well matched strand is a strand in which the pearls look in harmony with each other, instead of being close in color or grouped in specific color patterns. Some recent all nacre off round lavender strands I strung. The darker...
