    A new type of pearl!

    SunSeeker, Bravo! I really like that one! I looked the term up on wiki, and the more one knows about the elegant and fun movement and style of the 18th century, the more it fits. The shell motif is integral, tying it back to the pearls. The portrait paintings of the era feature pearls...

    Need to find jeweler!

    Takayas did a brilliant job of designing a unique custom engagement ring for my son to give to his fiancee. He listens closely and is careful with the budget, too.

    A new type of pearl!

    Perhaps I've been listening to the news radio stations too much, but "Provoked Baroque" sounds like they have reason to be angry and react. How about something more positive and cheerful for the public image? Easy to remember and fun to pronounce, as well as descriptive visually, could work...

    Another Poe Pipi Pearl Ring - Tells and Trips

    Very pretty! Are there missing gold pieces joining/supporting the outside pearls to the center pearl? It seems like there would need to be something to follow the lines from the outside band to the pearls.

    The White Round Pearl Necklace~Restyle It~Let's Get Creative!

    I've been looking at the Tudor pearls for inspiration. I read that Autore loaned their pearls for the tv series, and the pearls for the coronation scene were valued above $60,000. How do you keep the enhancer metal from damaging the pearls that are next to it? Do you need some sort of buffer...
