    Thank you! They're pretty interesting. The luster is more satiny than shiny, but they have really nice orient so the overall effect is pretty. I'm enjoying them!

    I wiped them well with a damp cloth after stringing them up (on wire with silicone bumpers), so they seem ok for now. Canned air is a good call though, I'll get a can! In the past I've washed them on their temporary strand and hung to dry so the thread helps wick the moisture out of the...

    JP that happened with the first batch of souffles I ever worked with - not so bad that I chucked them but I definitely had to clean them out. These don't seem to have a smell. But another downside is I couldn't really wash them like I usually do before stringing, to get rid of the rest of the...

    Lugana, sorry I missed your comment above! They really are such special pieces. I treasure them <3 Annnnd friends, last night I was reminded of how much I dislike stringing soufflés!! My advice is, when you buy them, have the seller string them for you because OMG what a pain. Love these John...

    Paying for jewellery setting using paypal

    Ditto what everyone else said re: using the goods and services type of payment. Personally, I'd ask the seller to send an invoice, though.

    Gorrrgeous, Sanippy! Beautiful choices. I can't wait to see what you make! SSP are so addictive - I resisted for a while but eventually succumbed, as we all must :)

    Love those two together! That akoya strand always looks great when you layer it with ripples. Soufflés are a great idea for a ring! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for something. Though I worry about banging it around, I can be kind of rough on rings.

    Not pearls today, but I wanted to share this gorgeous carved pendant I just received. It was created by Sami Saleh, the very talented carver who runs @stcarvings on instagram. It’s my kids’ names, and he added my husband’s and my initials. The paua shell is the back - so it’s lovely even when it...
