A while back, I received a conch pearl from my husband for our anniversary. I went back and forth on what sort of pendant I wanted. Some forum members were truly helpful. You'll notice in the first picture, the pearl is in a 4 prong mount. I wore it like this for a year because I was afraid...

Just thought I would share this necklace made by my friend, Sihaya Hopkins of Blossom Studio. Necklace made of cultured freshwater pearls, 18 inches long. Ivory & clear handmade hollow glass drop and button. Tiny amber glass seed beads mimic the knots in a traditional pearl necklace...

In my last post, I received many wonderful responses on what to do with my pearl. Some were stunning, but unfortunately, wayyyy out of my budget! Until I make a final decision on my setting, I am going to get an inexpensive cage so that I can start wearing my pearl sooner. I've narrowed down...

BWeaves, I forgot I have a diamond and pearl brooch that I inherited. I never wear it, so maybe I could rob it of its' diamonds and pearls. There are enough for the necklace & earrings! The pearls were appraised as extra fine (AAA) 6.3mm This is the design I am playing with: But I don't...

Thank you!

Me too, but I don't have a spare diamond! LOL!

I wish my pearl was big enough for one of those Paspaley mesh nets! I've been playing around with an idea. My birthstone is Peridot and I happen to have a loose one that I've been trying to figure out what to do with. I created the design pictured below with photoshop. Not sure I like it...

Icy, you found some of my favorite examples! The last one has been my favorite too, but sadly out of my budget. LOVE the lavalier -- I've not seen that one before! I am definitely going to purchase a cage so that I can wear my pearl until I can have it set. I was told not to drill it as...

I wonder if this is set by compression or if it's glued or drilled . . .

Thank you for the suggestion, PD! I will look in to a cage. I just don't want to cover too much of it up, KWIM?

Hi all! I'm new to the forum. I found my way here trying to decide how to set my conch pearl. My husband gave it to me for our anniversary. I've been wanting one for some time. I'm told I shouldn't drill it, but I hate the idea of prongs. I am leaning towards wearing it as a necklace...
