Thank you, Cathy and Douglas! They are incredible in strong light or sunlight.

Whew, it's been over a year! I've been following PG spasmodically. I recently got some Ethiopian opal beads, which I put together with some labradorite. They are really hard to photograph, they change so much with the light. I made a necklace and bracelet, and plan on earrings.

Lovely clasp! Does it have any markings on it?

Wonderful and fascinating! Thank you!

What a lovely necklace! And yes, I would wear it with a t-shirt or a ball gown, or anything in between.

I like to go to thrift stores for clothing, since I find some neat things there. Not so much in the way of pearls there, though...

Oh wow oh wow oh WOW. Which translates to I want to come, too!

It is a very common sort of clasp. I found this one in just a few minutes online: https://www.etsy.com/listing/636596371/2-strand-85mm-x-85mm-square-box-filigree?click_key=019dbae2622a7bd2b9e5e72b90003351db0a357d%3A636596371&click_sum=a611f422&ref=shop_home_active_63&sts=1

It was kind of amazing, but I am very glad we are home and healthy now! It will be a very long time before I will be able to talk my husband into traveling... But here is some lovely tiger eye that I found:

Thank you, Happy Huku! I've been lazy about posting lately. We went on a trip to Canada, my daughter promptly caught Covid, and we quarantined for 5 days in an Ottawa hotel room. What a trip! Then we came home, and my husband caught it, so more quarantining. I can tell you, it is much nicer to...

I made this with what my daughter calls 'macaroni beads'. She is remembering when in preschool she made necklaces out of actual macaroni. I think these silver ones are really neat, with amethysts.

I managed to join, but it kicked me off after an hour. I figured no problem, I'll just get back on. But it didn't let me, and I missed most of Douglas' talk, sigh.

Me too! Please...

I second BWeaves: I really want to come but it isn't going to work out. Lots and lots of photos, so I can participate that way!!!!!

Thank you, Douglas, jeg! The colors are wonderful. I had some pearls left over, so I made earrings, and I still have a few more:

I got a pastel bracelet set from CMW, and used it to extend my pastel tahitians. I really like the result!

We are still being very cautious, but I sure hope I can make it!

Here is a tin cup I made not too long ago. The pearls are from Kong's Pearl. I hope the image uploads... It worked!

You can also attach a jump ring without soldering, or use a split ring.

Thank you, Douglas, Cathy, Jeremy, and Charlotta! Right now I have them sitting in a pile on the desk next to me so I can look at them. They are quite amazing pearls... even my husband admires them!
