Pam, You look absolutely gorgeous and your attempts at photography were better out of the gate than my month's of agonizing over pictures. Nicely done and you look gorgeous!

BW--now you are in my "wheelhouse". This "rabbit hole" began last year when I decided to knot and string some exquisite Sleeping Beauty turquoise that I had, rather than traditionally bead it. All my stringing tutorials lead me into revisiting my pearls and my love for them. Your ring looks...

BW--Amazing tin cup from Kojima Pearls! I have been enjoying their new website and it looks like you grabbed an absolute stunner from Sarah. Hanadama--your ropes are envious, and put together are so gorgeous!!

That is a wonderful torsade! Torsades don't get enough attention. I love the juxtaposition of the tiny seed pearls with the gorgeous FP....and the luster!

Karman--Beautiful Keishi and so wearable! It is fun to see MSC's creative influence. I love casual pearls. BW--you continue to amaze with your collection. Thank you for all of the beautiful posts!

BN--Gorgeous rosebuds on you! The chicken in pearls has always made me smile!

In particular, that you would be hearing from her "layers"...

That is one amazing collection of gorgeous rings!!

Wow those are beautiful!

Gorgeous collection!! They all look wonderful on you!

Love the screamers!! I also love the little screaming guy! Those pearls are so amazing and the depth and luster beyond compare!

Thanks! That was what I was thinking. It is of course, an approximate based on the pearls, the thread and the knots; but it is nice to know ahead of time what the approximate length will be done on completion. You guys are awesome!

Math question ladies... So if I assume that if there are 50 8mm pearls in a 16" hank or strand and that knotting them adds two inches resulting in an 18" strand can I assume that there are 25 knots to an inch?

Now that is an amazing collection of absolutely gorgeous white rounds, ladies. Any earring will look amazing! For me, I tend to go with studs with shorter necklaces and drops with longer necklaces and ropes...but that's just me.

Karman--That is a beautiful design and the colors of the peridot and garnet pull the peacock colors so beautifully. I love this. JP--I am so happy to see your posts of your creations! You look beautiful in your tahitians and cashmere and have such a gorgeous neck for wearing pearls. Keep on...

BW--thank you so much for posting these wonderful pictures. It is a stunning collection and what is old is new again!!

I do love this necklace and can't wait to see it finished.

Karman--that is a beautiful fresh water pearl rope! Gorgeous colors and great job on the knotting!!

I am working on a small keishi strand now (an obvious plagiarizing of Baby Nurse strand for a pendant). What I have really found is that the size of the hole in the pearl drives the size of the thread and knots. 8/10 mm seems to be the standard for even very tiny pearls. A size 40 readers...

What a wonderful idea! I hope it is a magical occasion!
