I went through Bags O' Stuff. Found these rectangle faceted aquamarines, realized I have had them almost 20 years. Put them together into a necklace. Needed something to make it long enough - why, yes, Pearls of course. Didn't like any pearls for it from what I had on hand. Wanted to make it...

Hello All, I am back after a long absence, I have probably forgotten half of what I had learned here, but I will have a fun and interesting time catching myself up I am sure. I just finished this little necklace: I know the pics totally fail on showing how "insanely great" these look. They look...

I'm still deciding how much I like these. I bit on an eBay best offer - only because they purportedly came from Pearl Paradise, with the box & appraisal. When they arrived, I was surprised at their small size and the amount of blemishing. Being inexperienced, I am now guessing that maybe gold...

Hello to all, I am new on the block and finally have drummed up enough nerve to own up to my pearls. I worked my way up to these pearls from cheap FW dyed giftshow buys, through more expensive giftshow pearls I didn't have the first clue about from anonymous vendors, and finally plunged into...
