Love the components, and the "candy" makes them Yummy! Elizabeth

Color contrast so perfect, lovely lovely! Also admire the handmade trays - what an improvement over recycled glass bowls (@ mine). Cheers!

Jeremy and Hisano, I hope and trust that your travels and celebrations will be epic also. Your generosity certainly is. Deep gratitude for the learning and buying opportunities not to mention the partying! ENJOY YOURSELVES! Elizabeth

Yum yum! I too immediately imagined an enhancer pendant for your GSS. They are all beautiful, and look so nice on you. Elizabeth

Userang, what a way to start your pearl collection - Sea of Cortez! Your ring has such luscious deep color. Yum. ~Elizabeth

WOW, I mean, WOW! BAS, they look like pure gold. And so good on your skin. Elizabeth

Love 'em - and bronze & green forever! Nice work.

Both such beauties - I never get tired of seeing everyone's metallic FWs - even my own.

Wow, what fun - I didn't get past being boggled that the difference between is 14,000 for what appears (in photos) to be such small differences! -Elizabeth

Love the wire-wrap look & love the extender! Congrats on your great new necklace and the accomplishment of making it. Elizabeth

MoonSprinkles, there will always be pearl-lovers who have more, or less, budget. Please don't let that matter. So much is preference anyway: for instance while I appreciate and admire the rarity and matchedness of perfect rounds, I really prefer ovals and baroques. I like the way they feel, I...

My breathing went shallow and rapid. Elizabeth

Moonsprinkles, I think I redid my first necklace 5 or 6 times: I learned, I improved, I changed techniques, I changed thread, I changed clasps. I counted it all as pleasurable learning & practice. Elizabeth

Yummy! I will gladly egg on anyone on the P-G who is considering it ... Elizabeth

"And maybe it sounds silly to wear pearls and other jewelry around the house but I am a stay at home mom so if I only wear things when I go out I never wear them. And I would rather wear and enjoy them, tbh." Welcome, Moonsprinkles. I too like the look and feel of non-round pearls, and find...

BWeaves, that is drop dead gorgeous. I am dropping dead from its gorgeousness right here and now. Pattye, I do believe that lust is the appropriate term, in keeping with Douglas' descriptor "******achromatic" ;) Elizabeth

Metallic Freshwaters always fascinate me. I think I like them best of any pearl. Except maybe whatever else I may be viewing at any given moment. Maybe I'm part magpie. And that's OK. I love everyone's pics. La Corsetiere, amazing work (as usual). Like the hanging cluster a lot lot lot, and...

Why so it does! Suddenly I feel quite old. Really, can I have been knotting pearls since before there was colored Stringth? Before dinosaurs? Before fire? I used to have to color my own. Elizabeth

YES to getting the tension just right, especially for those of us who don't knot routinely. Tight enough for no gaps and snug knots, but with the graceful drape that is part of a strand of pearls. And remembering what that feels like between knotting sessions. Elizabeth

Sea Urchin, those look really yummy! I started out knotting using Stringth. I used a single strand, with one end striped with super glue, as a built-in needle. Once Pattye came out with Beader's Secret, I dropped Stringth and started using a two-strand method. I found Stringth to be not quite...
