Wow, her inauguration necklace is quite something! I love the mix of large gold links and pearls.

Good to "see" you, Douglas! Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, Jessica's jewelry and wardrobe are drool worthy. "Diane Lockhart," portrayed by Christine Baranski, on The Good Wife and The Good Fight wears great pearls (and other jewelry).

I love the mix of white pearls and turquoise. It does look like Seeping Beauty turquoise.

The first time I saw Kamala in her Irene Neuwirth Gumball necklace, it reminded me a bit of the Kojima Waterfall necklaces in white. It's a great look with the 18k gold chain links, but the price is significant. "The necklace by Irene Neuwirth, who’s based in Harris’ home state of...

Thanks, JP and Katbran. I just looked at the wire I have, and it says it is fine, but it is 21 strands. I'll look for 49 strand fine.

Thanks, Pattye.

Ok, so I found gimp that should work: Diameter/Width : 0.039" (1.0mm); Inside dimension : 0.7mm (.027"). The orbit clasp listing says: Ring(s) ID: .052". I assume ID is inside dimension, so that should fit. I am still debating thread vs wire. Since I am paying for RG shipping, I might buy...

Thank you for all of the ideas. I think the smaller spinel beads are around 2mm. I do have Soft Touch by Soft Flex Fine (0.014 inch diameter) nylon coated stainless steel wire and twist crimps. I previously used that wire and crimps to make a 20" necklace with just 2mm black spinel beads (to...

I bought some Beader’s Secret thread, needles and gimp from Pattye at the last Ruckus, and I am just now getting around to stringing my first necklace. (Hangs head in shame.) I bought a Belpearl necklace from Saks Off Fifth for a good price, but the thread broke the first time I tried to take...

It's a gorgeous necklace and goes so nicely with the earrings!

OMG, so many gorgeous pearls! I love the new blue topaz and seed pearl earrings from little h. The red dress is fab. Boden? The fuzzy chick tushies are killing me - too cute!

I love your design! It is such an original way to display a few keshi.

Cathy, I love your new Fiji treasures! You did well finding that chain on discount -- sometimes locating the right findings can really hold up a project (says the girl with several loose pearls still to set, lol).

I'm glad you will soon be reunited with your pretties! 5 more days!

OMG, I'm in love with Couscous! I've had to catch up a bit, but the pearly eye candy is fantastic. I especially love the new golden wave rope -- yum! And I must find a red coral necklace to wear with my GSS drop pendants.

I love your modification!

Oh Cathy, that necklace is gorgeous! The pearls have such fantastic colors, and the setting is very elegant.

Oh, I would love to do this some year. We already have a family trip planned that week when school lets out for summer.

Jeremy and Hisano, you have been incredibly generous hosting for the past 10 years. I thoroughly enjoyed the 5 I was privileged to attend. I hope you have a wonderful summer travelling and enjoying each other.
