Thanks, Paul! All the pictures are fascinating- I thought that the keys to the parts of the chateau would be the necessary items. I also find it interesting that women were expected to read and write, in addition to beauty and sewing. The whistle seems just as important.

I'm in the same boat, too. I'm going to Tucson to see as many pearls as I can. Anyone else going there?

Enlighten me- What is a chatelaine in this context? I thought it was the Lady owner of a chateau..

Are those opals or pearls set into the necklace chain? It is gorgeous work! I wonder what the original dress/outfit would be for it?

Congratulations! Please would you add some photos of the collection here? Your work is beautiful and intriguing. I love your innovation.

I think the current necklace looks different from the original. Bigger pearls, longer strand, different balance to the piece. In the original, the enhancer is dominant, this one it is secondary. I wonder if she has had a pearl jeweler take a look at it, heh, heh, heh!

Hey Andrea, we were at the same exhibit in Delaware! The Duponts put it on. It was one huge show, with different sections. That is one I would love to find the exhibit book for! I don't think there is getting over it. I was shocked at how tiny the waist was on the ceremonial dress for the...

Ah, so now we have to do some sleuthing to find where the replica came from.. I bet our Parisian, Cliclasp, will know..

There is a pearl grading course 9-4 on Feb 7 in the GIA lab at the fair. Does it conflict with the PG events? Please would you give me the calendar of the PG events? (I'm giving P.G. higher priority, :D)

Thank you for being friends. Please p.m. me, as I do want to hear from you. I guess I have hijacked the thread, and I apologize for that. Perhaps my part should be moved to the other stuff forum. I have been on Pearl guide for almost a year now. It is my favorite place to come, because of your...

Another sadder possibility is one that has happened to me. My wonderful husband has a website and another business address, He just died.. I don't know how to access the passwords and directions to put up the notice of his death. And I do want to keep the them going. :(

Who is coming to Tucson? I'm figuring out hotel/car reservations. It is much more fun to have comrades in crime! I want to meet you all in real life. :D Any great ideas for side adventures? I'll be meeting foxhunting friends in Phoenix, too. ( They chase rabbits with beagles in the desert...

Dawn, They are quite beautiful. In the formal English riding attire, we use the pins that are designed to be worn horizontally, They go across the large, thick stock ties. Frequently they look like an over-size safety pin. The stock ties are very long and wrap around the neck many times. Out...

Psst.. You are looking in the wrong place Psst.. You are looking in the wrong place Advice from horse country- The farmers co-op and the horse feed stores carry needles and syringes. In very large sizes, on open shelves in the regular aisles. Need a 60 cc syringe with a curved tip for...

Please continue your story, photos would be much appreciated. What does it look like there?

Actually, I do move in a fairly exclusive social set.;) I could use a tiara for grocery shopping, or picking up feed for the horses.:D We can wear the feather "fascinators" at the steeplechase races, as we watch the horses run..

Thanks, Paul, I read about royal tiaras being designed "en tremblant", and a few brooches and a ring. Would you like to talk about the versatility of the those period designs? The tiaras could be used as necklaces, brooches, earrings, etc. They could be taller with all sorts of interesting...

Thank you, Paul! In looking at the backs, it seems that there is movement allowed in the design. Would this give the tremblent, (sp?) effect? Please would you explain the choices in the mechanics of the design? I'm quite curious, and I've never had a chance to see that effect before. It is such...
