For those attending this year's event, have a great time; and I look forward to joining you in 2016 if all goes according to plan. DK :)

Beautiful bracelet and a lovely story, enjoy your bracelet, and thanks for sharing! DK :)

preg, Pearlluna_pearlsonly also has 3mm pearls available. Stringing and knotting is fun and not too difficult to master, I believe you would like it. DK :)

Here is a pic of my pendants, clockwise from the top: a CFWP, a white SSP, and a Tahitian (it's a brooch as well as a pendant): The coin is a 20p piece in the UK with a diameter of 21.4mm according to Royal Mint. DK :)

To make one's own: Small seed pearls are available from pearlluna_pearlsonly on eBay: Seed pearls from pearlluna_pearlsonly And multi-strand clasps for necklace or bracelets can be found from Bellafindings, here are some examples: Fancy pearl clasps from Bellafindings DK :)

They are beautiful, thanks for sharing! DK :)

One heck of a bracelet, thanks for sharing! DK :)

I have a variety of Akoya strands myself, however, unless I win the lottery, I am unlikely to get a Hanadamas as I cannot justify its high price when compared to top of the range CFWPs. DK :)

Nice pics and set, thanks for sharing! DK :)

Excellent choice, and I look forward to seeing the neck and ear shots of the finished earrings and strand. DK :)

Beautiful, thanks for sharing! DK :)

Lush, thanks for sharing! DK :)

I would opt for #2, as I believe a simple dangling drop-shape style is easier to wear. #1 is too grand for daily wear, and #3 would make a face look wider due to the round button-shaped pearl, IMHO. DK :)

Middle Row, third from the left for centre pearl. For tear drops, top row, first on the left, middle row second from the left, and middle row first on the right. Hope I have understood the OP's requirements correctly. DK :)

Already responded in PS, the top strand for me too, and thanks for sharing. DK :)

The quality of the pearls are not great, and I personally would not string it with an expensive clasp, a cheaper gold-filled clasp would be more appropriate, IMHO. DK :)

Nice ring, thanks for sharing. DK :)

The pearls are real, as in cultured fresh water pearls, however, the quality is not great. Just because there are knots between each pearl does not necessary indicate they are real, or vice versa. Sterling silver clasp is quite cheap to buy, against its presence is not indicative of quality...

That's how I felt when I ventured into CS as there is so many different types and colours out there! I would suggest you wait until your trip to PP before purchasing any higher value items, while continue with browsing for different types of pearls on the net for inspiration. It is a shame...

Hello and welcome to PG! :) Just like CS, colour is very personal when it comes to pearls, and I am glad that you can visit PP in person to be able to see for yourself the many different colours and shapes of Tahitians, as you may find colours that you have not considered as suitable before...
