    Show us your double strands!

    I don't think anyone will complain with you sharing your pics and motivating the crowd. You can be the official Pearl Guide Pic Party Starter! To all the rest, very lovely. Such vibrant pictures! The Classic double is very elegant, but modern layers of metals and pearls totally gets my approval!

    KB no thanks needed. Not to get all mushy, but I really love my little keshi pearl studlette and very flattered you took the time to experiment on my behalf! TO paraphrase what PD says, it has indeed found a very happy home on my earlobe. Thanks again, next up that GSSP Keshi :rolleyes:

    Oddly enough...I am definitely seeing more guys wearing white pearl studs (on both ears) versus dangles. This has all been an interesting last two years in that sense. So far this year only one client has asked for a stud, and he said "Black Pearls"....:rolleyes:

    Hypothetically- If You Stored and Never Wore a FW Freshadama Necklace Over 10 Years

    My Aunt used to put a baby food jar of water in her SDBx. A jeweler ages ago would do the same thing for his showcases and opals, an told her to do this for pearls and opal jewelry in the SDB. But my Aunt liked to visit her jewelry often so there is that.
