Are we talking about just the silk or ones that have pearls on them? I've made high end Christmas ornaments with the silk tassels dangling from them. a ball might have a small statue with a ribbon hanger on the top, the ball studded with imitation jewels with ribbon and gold lace edges, then on...

WOW! Pattye, that is glorious!:D It's like an impressionist painting-each pearl color subtly vibrates the color pearl next to it, making the eye create even more color shifts in between. The balance of the large pearl enhancer in size and orient brings the focal point to the whole piece. Have...

Are they still posting on the forum? This is such an interesting thread. I wonder how they are..

She will still be very excited when you tell about your gift.:D When my DH (Darling Husband) decided last Christmas to give me pearls, he had the same predicament. He gave me a lovely note on the Christmas tree. We have spent this year learning about pearls. It has been great fun for us to grow...

If you have a bit of time, Jeremy, of Pearl Paradise, is in Hong Kong right now buying more pearls. Why not give him a call when he gets back? He'll enjoy your story, too. :)

Cathybear is in Darwin. Her pieces are quite unusual. You'll find references in threads as "CC" or Catherine Cardellini. She sells online, but she also seems to be quite welcoming for a P-G visitor. (I'd love to meet her)

Given the lack of sleep, I'm amazed that so much detail is remembered. What did you all do to keep that schedule? Wow! I'm impressed.

Thanks for the bump! I love learning about the fabled trip. Jeremy, your description makes it come alive. It is fun for me to hear about your meeting with Josh, putting names and faces together from reading later P-G exploits, and the G.I.A. pearl course. What an adventure! What stamina! What...

Hubert Bari did another book, published by Skira, in 2010. I couldn't tell what language it was in from the Italian on Skira's website. Did any of you get that one? This one has a different co-author. What is the quality of the V&A book publishing? Did any of you contribute to this book or exhibit?

You rock, Julie Beth! I love that you wear your goodies with your every day casual gear- And I like that you have the necklaces long enough that you can see them while you wear them. :)

Catlin, Thank you for the compliment! If you would like to move that post to start the thread in Other Stuff, I'll give you more posts. There have been some academic seminars on pearls that he has attended. He also has given some NASA video talks.

Extremophiles or Life on Mars right here Extremophiles or Life on Mars right here Pattye, Here is a description of extremophiles that relates how these microbes thrive in extreme conditions that would kill the rest of us...

Pearlman, thank you for the answer to my question. I'd love to see your natural pearls. Are they still being found? How far up the river system? Stories? Last summer, I followed the path of Glacier Lake Missoula, then over to a fossil research facility for dino hunting and then down to...

Any photos of the horizontal waterfalls at Cygnet Bay? I've been on their website, in anticipation of your visit. I know you are going to have some awesome footage for the film.

You really are awesome at this! I think you need to spend more time at P.P. and share it with us!

Thanks Bas and Wendy! I'm learning so much from you and the pearl guide mentors. :)

In Bas's photos, the rope is twisted like a torsade. How do you do that and keep the twisted look? Does it shift and tighten up, choking you? I'm asking for instructions. Pearlman, I love your rope. Are those Mississippi pearls?

Luminous, Would it feel more like you if it were part of an enhancer? Your CC pearls have more volume to them. Is that what feels more like the comfortable proportion on your neck?

Katbran, I love the colors and textures! What is a parrot clasp? What kind of clasp shape works?

Hi Miranda! Welcome! I'm new, too. There are members around the world, and they are happy to educate and let you know honestly about pearls and safe places to buy them. I've learned a lot since I've been here. "Pearlescence", Wendy Graham is a respected senior member that I think you will enjoy...
