Oh well, I loved 438 but I worked the whole day today and didn't have internet access when it first went up. Too bad.

Pretty sure it was hydrogen peroxide plus UV light under controlled temps. As a reference point human hair is bleached with 6-10% so you will have to dilute it accordingly. Also, the usual drugstore formulations come with stabilizers that can accumulate in whatever you use it on - more a problem...

Try me! LOL

They are very nice. 371 isn't bad either. You know you're addicted when you put in urls by minusing numbers for strands that have been already taken off the page ...

That is a wonderful bracelet! If you do make it do tell how!

I would so love to see that ...

That's actually a good one. If Jeremy ever gets it he can pose 007 style LOL!

Very nice! I would love to make something similar, but good keshis that are also a color match are so hard to find!

I think it's interesting to match pearls then send for certification. What are the chances of a given pearl with good nacre missing the thickness by just a little? Would they have to send extra pearls to be certified?

I think the active vendors on this site are a better bet. I also highly recommend the freshwater gem lines as better value for money. It'd be easier to get graduated in these, as hanadamas do not typically come graduated. The vendor would have to break apart separate strands and make it up for...

Oh well, I can't even be bothered counting. Wild guess 54.

The Chinese have always associated meat eating with wealth, and now that they are getting more affluent it's like they're trying to eat up all the meat they can get their hands on with a vengeance. They will be dropping dead like flies from smoking related and cardiovascular diseases very soon...

No prob! Pity I'm not a better photographer - always in the wrong light!

There may be no shortage of land in China, and in the short-term there will not be a relative labor shortage, but it will not last hundreds of years. More like decades. With the one child policy and an aging population, most of which have no access to healthcare, plus an increasingly affluent...

I meant the variation annoying me, which is why there's a break in the paragraph, not you!

I didn't mean to make a graduated strand in the first place anyway, but it popped up because the size and colors were just so different from what I imagined from the pictures I got before I bought them. Usually with the graduated strands sold commercially the vendors have alot more pearls to...

I had the oddest number of pearls left over. Ordinarily you'd expect four pure colored strands to give 4 strands graduated. But because the peach ones were too big, I couldn't use most of it, so I ended up using more of the deeper colored lavenders and divided it amongst 3 strands, picked out as...

LOL, now that's an idea. Imagine the whole lot of us going out with matching outfits and pearl necklaces! I figured the threadzapper out. I did put the battery in wrong and shorted it. Works alright now. No damage done.

The sunlight makes the outermost strand look more peach. It's the same color. I also think I ruined my threadzapper. The tip doesn't seem to get hot. The switched has sprung out and I managed to put it back in place with the cap so the circuit isn't complete, but the battery, not the...

Here's the rest of it.
