BN, you do have such stunning blues! I love the 2 sizes mixed together. I am also loving the combo of the keshi choker and Tahitian tin cup. You have quite the knack for layering.

Wow! The peacock pendant and earrings are all phenomenal! That huge colorful pendant and the stunning earring drops would be category killers for me. Nice to "see" you here, Icyjade.

I hadn't caught that before, but yes, I recognize my blue keshi. I fell in love with this strand for the pairs of blue keshi plus one amazing pair of large dark gold keshi.

They are stunning! I would be smiling while wearing those too. The length looks great - how long is the strand?

I had decided to be strong and not buy one at the Ruckus because I didn't "need" it. 2 days later I was on the phone to Erin to see if the one I liked was still available. The 54" rope was also gorgeous, but I think the shorter one will get more wear, now that I've got it extended to my...

Yay for bonus earrings! I have 4 small bright green ringed Tahitian pearls left over from a tin cup necklace PP recently finished for me. I am trying to figure out what earring style to go with. I may start a thread for ideas if I can get some decent photos.

That is a very pretty pendant, Katalin. What size is the pearl?

Cathy, your white Tahitians look stunning with the diamond beads! I was in awe when I saw them at the Ruckus. It made me think I need more pearls so I can mix them with diamonds, lol. Just when I think I have enough necklaces, some new idea comes around.

I think I was typing while you were posting new photos. I love the combo of the little pistachios with the Tahitian tin cup. You come up with such clever combinations.

I love those goldens on you, and they pair so well with the blue and white earrings. I so enjoy this thread.

Thanks, everyone. I tried to get a few photos, but I am having serious issues with my phone. I definitely need a better camera on my next phone as this one doesn't do the pearls justice.

My rope arrived and it is longer than I expected, which is a very good thing. It originally had almost invisible knots and no clasp. Once it was re-strung with the Orbit clasp, it is now 38.5" long. My preferred length for a rope is 40-42", so I added a 2.5" extender chain. Not only does...

I like my strands longer than the standard lengths, so I have come up with a couple of tricks for adding length using Orbit clasps. I have 2 strands that were strung with Orbit clasps I had PP special order from KGH -- they have little cups that add some extra length. It may be possible to...

Oh wow! I love the ombre bubble rope!

Great purchase! They look lovely on you.

I would like to add a couple of inches of length to my 36" harvest strand. I am considering sprinkling about a dozen of the diamond cut beads around the rope. Either WG or YG should work, but I would probably use YG.

Lol, it's good to know men get distracted by sparkles too. ;-) Your cherry strands were already gorgeous, but I really like the addition of the gold beads. I like the placement every 2 beads.

LFS, could you please post a photo or link for the beads you bought from Gempacked?

Thank you, Amti! The listing says they ship from LA. I wonder if they have a store we could visit ? I would love to get my hands on some of the 4mm 18k WG diamond cut beads from Japan the guy from tahitianpearls.biz uses. I believe those are the stunning beads in Newberry's necklace that look...

Both necklaces look lovely on you, together and separate! The akoya keshi make a wonderful "chain" for the tin cup, and I love the alternating larger smaller pearls on the strand. What a creative use of leftovers.
