    Used the photos you thoughtfully provided to show a local jeweler what I wanted to order. Not many shops stock a variety, and online catalogues don't always photograph them at useful angles. Thank you!

    Thank you so much. The hinged kind that snaps shut is exactly what I had in mind. Now I have a project for the week!

    Show Us Your Pearls In Action!!!

    I've been absent, and I was feeling particularly icky today, so I decided to indulge in self-care by viewing SurfnSci's beautiful Kasumis and Tahitians, and jeg's combos. Jeg, I have a few bead necklaces and a big fat drop pearl with a bale that is a little too small to slip over them. Is the...

    Are these real?

    Here's an example from an amethyst piece found online. I'm basically low tech, but I sometimes hit vintage stores for fun, and discovered something most of you probably know already: If you have an android phone, go to the google search bar and use the little camera icon (not your phone's camera...

    Are these real?

    That's exactly what it is. It was a widely-used clasp by Honora and Fortunoff, among others.

    Love all of the light and airy pieces you've been wearing. It's been so humid in NY that I can't tolerate anything heavier than a tiny Akoya keshi strand.

    Tahitians?

    Just a thought. If you really like the pearls and/or can't return them, what about repurposing them into a multistrand bracelet? You can go as wild as you like with the thread color, and you'll wear the piece where you can see it easily.

    Thank you. As soon as I saw the wrap my fingers were flying across the keyboard ("It's Mine)!

    I know I need better light and longer arms, but I was very excited about this. The wrap is vintage Akoyas and tiny tourmalines from Kojima's live event at PP. I bought it to pair with my grandmother's vintage Akoyas. The strand is about 32" long. The pearls are not graduated and are nicely...

    I can't match your articulate expression, so I'll just say "Oooohh..."

    I have a lot of catching up to do with everyone's posts. I have a few goodies from the lives. Here are the baroque blue Akoyas. The knots are dark blue. I wore them today with a necklace affectionately known as "Spike". They photographed very differently in varied lighting.

    A BBA strand quite a bit more dramatic than the original one. It will look lovely in the Ban Island light. Are we allowed to bring a pearl or two to the island?

    I made a Last Chance trade-up. Ban Island? I'm in the process of establishing residency so that I can get my Pistachio Card and one day become a citizen.

    Love it! It's very similar to a sketch I made for mabe earrings years ago. I haven't decided what to with my SOC pearl yet. Wear it in the best of health!
