They sure look like mine.:) What are their colors? Do you have the original box or remember where they came from? Lake Biwa became so polluted that they couldn't continue pearling. So, the pearls were rare then and even more so, now. I hope you have them re-strung with knots between the pearls...

I've got a surprise for you all, too. Jeremy and Hisano are conjuring up a magical, um, substantial, necklace. There are more design elements to design, so it will be a while before the final form is ready to share. What a joy it is to play with them!:)

These are beautiful! Please would you show us the backs of the pieces? Are the entwining stems, for want of a better term, separate or joined? I'm asking about the collection, not just the last 2 pieces. Please keep telling us about the art history, with the references. What fun it is to learn...

Such delicious anticipation! I'm soo glad you joined P-G

Gem Geek, {{Hugs}} You have brightened my life, too. I'm looking forward to meeting you in person. We can conjure up a magical Tale for the Ages.

Gem Geek and Jeremy, I left you an important post on the referred thread...

Are we going to see more Tales of Octavia? That was really Fun! Sesame Street needs a visit from her and Jeremy to talk about pearls..:D

20,000 leagues under the sea?;)

Now, I haven't met Hisano in person yet, so that is a red herring! You might as well expound on the strength of the plastic bag. (Without offending Hisano!) And since these are not PP pearls, they weigh differently, since they don't know the gravitas of the situation..;)

I notice that you carefully removed anything to use as a reference. How about as much as a sack of grain for the horses? 50 lbs or so? Much more and it would split the plastic of the bag. Less wouldn't be sporting..

Catlin, One of the things I love about Pearl-Guide is the real life feelings you and the mentors share. You are articulate in the reasons you have that viewpoint.

To add to Gem Geek's post about the student membership, if you are currently taking a G.I.A course and apply for the AGTA student membership, not only is it good for the current year, but for the next 2 years!

I'm confused. What is/are the shows that we go to with P.-G.? The AGTA has a student membership which is the same price as a guest ticket. Does that get us into the relevant shows, or does each show charge its own admission? (I've finished the G.I.A. e-course on pearls, now aiming for the pearl...

I hope to learn some stringing and other techniques from you all in your copious free time as you stalk the pearls. Plus the list of tools and where to get them. This is going to be soo much fun!

What are the over-all dates of the show?

Thank you for starting this thread. I'm always looking for clever versatility. I like this enhancer/brooch. Its mechanics are intriguing, and it is beautiful, too. Sometimes, the enhancer or pendant is too heavy, and the option of pinning as well makes it much more useful. Plus, it. hopefully...

How will this Super Typhoon affect the pearl farms? Is Hong Kong high enough to weather this severe a storm? It is Tidal bore time, too. I hope that everyone is in a safe place. Thank goodness the show was last week!

Aww, Pearl Dreams, That was so kind and literally thoughtful of you.. I hope this tutorial will have a place over on the Lowly Beaders forum, so I can find it when I get all the gear to try make it. (The Tractor Supply doesn't seem to carry it. Odd...);)

Oh Boy! Renna, you are going to have P-G rockin' n rollin'! Can't wait to see what you do with your pearls!:D

Hi Renna, I'm new here, too. I have had a wonderful time purchasing from Pearl Paradise. They enjoy building relationships, and they listen carefully to you. You might even "meet" Jeremy, if you ask. Be sure to let them know you are a pearl-guide member- that makes a difference.:) The unusual...
