this is gonna be awesome! my favorite is when people come on and ask what something is worth and then they proceed to ARGUE with the experts about it...... love it when that happens - very entertaining! ('natural colour brackish water pearls' anyone? lol) i'm taking some items in to an...

here's the strand sheryl has listed on etsy that i came on to post about...... don't know how i missed these! sheryl, if my circled peacock's don't work out (still waiting for them! grrrr - customs!), i'm coming after THESE babies! they're fab! (they look like chestnuts! nice size too -...

funny, i actually just came on here today to post something that sheryl has listed on etsy...... i'll start the thread (by the way, not a huge fan of that pistachio colour - it matches my skin colour too closely! lol someone once called me transparent in my 'goth' days......) - jodie -

thanks pearl man....... interesting that water is used as a lubricant and not oil? i would think mineral oil would be used. oh, i guess it might stain the pearl, duh...... yeah, all my pearls are like, under $50 each so far so - no biggie (and i'd practice on some super cheapies i have first...

true enough! anyone care to donate to enhance my pearl education? poor little pearl girl here needs to compare her species! anyone? bueler? bueler? - j - (oh, and josh, i think we really need another photo WITHOUT the fish please and thank-you....... ;0 )

lol - oh boy, don't tell me i'm going to sending my pearls out to be 're-reamed' too! i already decided i don't have the patience to string and knot myself! -j-

ooh! lovely! alex, not sure if you bought them for yourself or for your significant other but those are beautiful! very nice gift....... - jodie -

amazing! those look like pieces that the characters in 'game of thrones' would wear! (anyone watch that? kind of a sci-fi history hybrid thingey...... it's actually not bad)

thanks guys for all your advice! still kinda nervous but i'll give it a try (when my arm's working better of course)....... - j-

thanks blaire! thanks to everyone actually - it makes me feel good when the people i respect give me their 'thumbs up', you know? now i have a question about circled tahitians - are they just automatically 'B' grade? regardless of how many actual blemishes there are on them? (it seems that...

hiya - can someone steer me towards the thread about how to enlarge drill holes? i know i saw it before but now i can't find it! thanks! -jodie-

i like the reddyishness too! but especially the purplyishness! lol -j-

they ARE cutr, arent they? lol LOVE them! i havent had good luck with colours in person though, but since these are peacock, i figured i had a better chance (plus i could see the colour in the photos on her neck, thats the test) -j-

lol - I just wrote you! So funny....... yeah, I sure hope so! The last strand I got (that I'm returning) LOOKED colourful in the photos but I just couldn't see the colours in person....... it's hard to tell what will show up and what won't. I DO believe that circled tend to have the most...

okay so um, i bought them! what do you guys think of the colour? (and the lustre?) i like circled tahitians a lot, and i like that these are actually quite "round" too (most circled tahitians i've seen have been quite baroque). they're 10 to 13mm. fingers crossed that the colours are as...

well...... i found another strand that seems to have a lot of rainbow overtones that i really want - and i can't justify having TWO strands so...... think i'm going to be selling these....... anyone who is interested please message me. i'll just sell them for what i bought them for, i'm not...

hmmmm - interesting - i prefer baroque and circled pearls myself (and i'm a real tomboy - even have a motorcycle!) i find perfect, smooth spheres to be kinda boring sometimes (although i can appreciate the rarity and the work involved to get them that way!) - jodie -

what a lovely collection! i love the multicoloured freshwaters - really pretty! and you're only in your 20's! many more pearls to come i'm guessing! -jodie-

douglas - when is the next harvest? (or did you just have it?) just wondering if i should get this pendant i'm looking at or wait until the next harvest and try to get a real rainbow one...... am i on the waiting list? lol - jodie -

just have to say i am LOVING this thread (and the pearls - love the bedbug one too!) lol - j-
