and well you should -- this group of people are some incredible craftspeople!!

I have just started knotting and beading and let me tell you....it is anything but lowly!! The beaders on this board are talented, smart, and great designers. There are some beautiful, creative, and innovative ideas and jewelry here. No, not lowly. I object.

Me, too. I finally get one almost done with no tangles (thanks to all the good advise on this board) and then.....not enough thread. :(

Welcome, you will learn lots and quickly become addicted to pearls. Actually, it appears to have a pretty setting and a nice brownish color. It si very pretty. How about a neck shot? That is the best way to see.

Interesting to see the inside. What a shame it cracked -- it is a pretty thing.

:eek:Hilarious!!!:eek:

Has anyone heard of this? Vapor encapsulated nuclei? I was just surfing around and came to this website http://www.islandpearls.net/newtech.htm and found it strange. I guess the bizarre thing was a pearl in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head and a pearl with a raised dolphin in the center. It...

Inge, Gold filled would work for me. I do like the way the yellow gold works with the tahitians. Besides, unless you wear the necklace every single day, the gold should stay put. And it makes it more affordable.

Sorry for being slow in answering your question, I just had time to sign on. I am using silk thread. Next time I will know to put more information into my question, so you can answer appropriately. All of suggestions sound good. It sounds like twisting is the culprit. Before I try again, I...

I am having the hardest time. :mad: I will get about 10 inches completed with nice perfect little knots, then all of a sudden-- a tangle happens -- while I am trying to pass the whole string through. Somehow I just can't managed an almost full string. Once it tangles, I seem to lose all...

Under $400 would make them more affordable for the average woman. They are perfect for the "business casual" look we all have these days. Sometimes a full strand of pearls can look too dressy. Jeremy -- post some pics!! Keep 'em coming!!!

Wow -- these are great pictures -- thank you so much. I am showing this to my husband tonight. I think he will like Pierce's pearl. thanks again everyone!!!

Tom, Thanks for the update. As I was reading this thread, I got really involved in it. And I learned a lot. Regardless of what the pearls are, they are beautiful.

Wow that is amazing.

I am showing this picture to my husband. I want him to wear a tahitian pearl on a leather strand, but he says he doesn't know any ment that wear pearls. (though he loves and wears often puka beads.) I have hunted and hunted in the internet for a few pictures to show that yes, he can wear a...

OOooo -- yum. I like the circle shapes. That necklace is beautiful.

All good suggestions. And great points about trendy items. I think the baroque tahitian on a cord will work, because it could be switched over to chain if it gets dirty or worn. Thanks again for all the ideas. Y'all are great!!!

Good feedback! Thanks. I think a baroque tahitian on a black silk cord will work.

Ok gang, it has been a while since I posted but I have been peeking in. Need suggestions for graduation gift. I am not sure what girls like today since their tastes are so different than mine (read...baby boomer) Anyway, what would be hip and trendy for today's 18 yr old? I thought about a...
