I may only be a young spat, but I can tell something is fishy going on there.

Haha! Yes, I'm guilty for sure. Sorry Adeline. But hey, you've bought such a nice drop pearl! And this is what my sister and I say to each other when we feel guilty about some purchase; "You're going to enjoy that for the rest of your life!" And then we laugh and feel better. I can't wait to see...

Hello all: Just to be a fly in the ointment here .... when I have items shipped to me via a shipping company, I often pay very high brokerage fees, and maybe customs/duties. If the item comes by mail, usually not, but maybe. It seems to be hit and miss. I have been charged $35 in fees for a...

Thanks Lisa! :)

Hello Cliclasp: What I mean, is just some part of the body for scale. If you don't have a model, maybe just photo the object up against your fingers or hand. Linda.

Alex: Wow, wow and wow. That centre pearl is amazing. And in other amazing news; I received a new pearl today in the mail. A lovely, simple round Tahitian on a chain from Sarah at Kojima Pearls. What a delight she has been to deal with, and I hope to continue that relationship. Cheers. Linda.

Yeah, I agree with Bacca entirely. Multiple shots, some good close ups, and one on a model. Linda.

Hi Pattye, yeah that silver chain is cool. Every second link opens up, so there is no actual "clasp". All those pearls are just pendants slipped on. Alex: pomegranate is a good name for it because the surface is a little flat in spots too, so it has that shape as well. Hooray for pearls! Linda.

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. The lampwork beads weren't as difficult as I expected; those were first tries. What was difficult, was getting the bead symmetrical. Marianne: haha! I do NOT wear that glass one. Actually, lately, all I wear is leather stuff and of course any pearl...

Hello Pearl Friends: I have received my pearls from Mexico. They were a little more subdued in colour than I expected. But now that I have been wearing them, their unique look is becoming apparent to me, and I am loving them. There are "green" earrings, and a "purple" pendant, with gold. The...

Ooops. Maybe I need to learn how to post pictures. Linda.

Here are my humble beads: :-) All bracelets, some leather, some stretchy, and one made from tacky glass beads that I created in a lampwork class. Linda. :-)

Oh you gals! So much talent and so much beauty in this thread! I have found my "People." When I was Dental Hygiene student at Vancouver's Community College, I used to enviously check out the Gemology/Silversmithing student's work and think to myself; "I'm in the wrong program." Maybe one day I...

OK, done. I posted the photos on the "Look at my Pearls" section.

Hello Pearl Friends: Here are the photos of my bracelet. It is rugged and well made, and the pearl and MoP are quite lovely. One of the photos appears to show a chip on the corner of the MoP piece, but it is not a chip, I think it must be a light refraction abberration of some type. Looking...

Mana leather bracelet Mana leather bracelet Chuckle. OK hang in there a bit, and when the sun comes up, I'll get some natural light pictures.

I have my Mana bracelet now. The leather is gorgeous. And the pearl just glows next to the dark leather. And in addition to these nice things, the Kamoka MoP piece with two holes in it is very cool. Very happy.

Pearlgasmic.

Caitlin: What .... no one else came up with pearlaholic? Chuckle ... hard to believe. Alex: oh yes, oh yes ..... I have seen that thread .... the thread I keep going back to .... the thread of my undoing. Have a nice day all. Linda.

Hello everybody, My name is Linda, and I'm a pearlaholic ....
