    jeg, love your reworked strand! That’s some seriously gorgeous luster. BW I just adore your swan, it’s so lovely! Today’s look - I removed a few pairs of GSSP from my harvest strand to get it to the right length, and turned them into earrings. They’re wrapped with a tiny loop at either end so...

    MSC, very pretty! jeg, CathyKeshi, BWeaves, and Pareltje, thank you! jeg, confusion totally understood. So when Purr and I initially split a harvest strand, I strung up my portion with some akoya keshi (pic below). I've loved wearing it like that, so when we split a second strand I wasn't...

    jeg that dangly T necklace is lovely! And I love your pendant chain :) I couldn’t decide between restringing my new harvest GSSPs with my old ones or keeping the akoya keshi bubble rope configuration, so I combined them. Wearing it around to see how I like it. The length is just right to wear...

    Tucson Gem & Mineral Show 2018

    Such great pictures! Thanks for the most excellent reporting, friends! Tuscon always looks like such an incredible show. Especially the enormous crystal displays in the tents outside! Those are always my favorite photos (besides the ones of all of our smiling P-G friends :) )

    Faceted Pearls

    This is interesting! I guess when I think "faceted" pearls I think of pearls with beads that have multiple flat sides, but that's not what this is at all. I assume to facet a pearl it has to have very thick nacre?

    work light recommendations plz

    I use one of those goofy magnifier headband things with an LED and different levels of magnification. It looks silly but I love it. Got it on Amazon for not too much.

    Faceted Pearls

    I'm fascinated by these. So are they actually polished to create the facets?

    Thanks so much, BWeaves, jeg, and JP! jeg, I'm glad the repair worked out too! Things happen for a reason, I like it even more now, with the pop of color. Some of my favorite designs have resulted from accidents - love how that works. Thanks for the rose ring reminder, I haven't been wearing...

    Those are stunning, jeg! Wearing them over color to contrast is a great idea. Today’s look - ring with dyed Kojima freshies, and “harvest” rope of Tahitians and akoya keshi. You can’t really see it in the pic, but the top really brings out the cherry colors.
