Oooh, that opal enhancer is singing to me, too. And I love the gold snake chain the pendant is on - it has a lovely weight and presence to it that seems well balanced with the pendant. Wooo sales!

Aha! The truth comes out... I think I may try first to size it down ever so slightly, then experiment with this silicone. (Can't wait to see your end result!)

Awww! What a great idea as a gift!

Ohhh, interesting...

I had never heard of these wild onion, thank you! I will look into it! Also putting some texture on the band...Karin, Katbran, another interesting idea! I'll have to ask a jeweler what they suggest. I should have guessed there would be technology in place for this kind of thing ;)

Thanks all! It does turn some now, especially when my hands are cool and dry, so I think I will size down a little. It's funny how small inconveniences like this can totally put a piece of jewelry or clothing out of rotation. Any solitaire is going to turn if it's not especially snug (I think...

I picked up a long, long awaited PP Freshadama ring in the spring sale, and so pleased I opted to go for the 10mm size (which is pretty big, I would say! Even on my hand, which is not small). I requested an ivory tone. It's subtle, I think, but there. [paired here with a simple...

Gorgeous pkinnew. I need some special friends like this, I am thinking ;)

BAS, I love your giant souffle earrings! This tin cup is so cool, too, the first I've seen with a pendant like this. Lovely on you funky_pearl!

Awesome, cyndayco. So many ways to style them! I really like the idea of having the baskets on both ends.

Lovely design khanzy! Simple, elegant, and with the added appeal of being a bit unexpected!

Too bad 'blimp' isn't a prettier sounding word. Zeppelin...

Thanks :) I love them as well...would like some jade and turquoise drops as well (or 'drops' that would be flat on one side, a slightly different look), and maybe some modest diamond (or diamond-esque) drops. Imagine a small pearl stud with a slightly larger diamond drop? That sounds nice...

Love those peachy tones, funky_pearl! I keep getting distracted by keshis lately, too! Especially the larger, wonkier ones. Pearl Dreams, what is the mm on those lavender round studs? 10ish? They look great.

At this point I'm more interested in (shopping for) baroque drops, actually!

I've been hunting for some teardrops with a height/width ratio I really like, and these are about right (12x16mm). I wanted them quite fat (rather than long and thin). These are just shell earrings from eBay, costume pearls, but they have a great shine, and I wanted this look without the...

I love how big the pearl is! And the kind of bear claw effect of the spikes. I can imagine this having a totally different feel in a much smaller size... Black and white is trending, too.

Sarah, I don't know why I never thought of an oscillating graduated strand like this - so fun! You want to keep looking at it to figure out what's going on. I am definitely craving a 15 or 16" strand in a small size, one that sits right at the throat. Many of the women wear them in...

Thank you! Yes, I love to contrast formal with casual - though it becomes a bit of a challenge: how to offset the luxury of the necklace (or the earrings, or whatever) enough and yet strike a realistic note? Like balancing scales. Easier with pearls than with faceted gemstones, though, I think...

It started out meaning something like 'of or relating to prep school (or prep school students)' but has taken on a bit of a life of its own. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preppy
