Whoooooaaaaa. That is one gorgeous necklace, CathyKeshi! Thank you for sharing - they're new to me! :love:

Those colors are beautiful, jeg! I love how you share photos of your outfit as well as a close-up with your pretties laid out so we can get a good look at them. :love:

Thank you, Pareltje! My heart was singing for a pearl from cmw last night, there may have even been some heavy breathing, but I had to reign myself in! :18: jeg I'm sure I will! I'm going to start saving up for blue/silver blue akoyas because every photo I've seen has had me having heart eyes...

jeg that SoC strand is still blowing my mind. :07: Your keshi SoC is also ridiculously pretty! Thank you all for the warm welcome! <3 CortezPearls- 11-12 necklaces per year is mind-boggling! Pareltje your akoyas are so beautiful! Full disclosure: I'm returning the black bracelet. It's...

Thank you, 86Corvettegirl! I'll definitely share when I restring it. Your turquoise and pearls combo is S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G.

Thank you! I especially love the lavender one. And I love graduated strands, too! I want more! :18:

lisa c Thank you so much! My eye isn't trained to recognize real pearls yet but I figured it was worth it for the 10k and 14k clasps alone. Once I cleaned both strands I was even more happy with my finds, but there's something about the graduated pearls that I'm so in love with. I keep taking...

Thank you, Pareltje! :07:

eolian pearls your pendant is so gorgeous! It's so rainbow-y and shiny! jeg I love the colors in your bubbles strands and that Sea of Cortez strand is a stunner! Keshi strands aren't something I've considered before but yours are making me consider! I'm excited to have something to share here...

Oh my goodness, Charlotta these are all GORGEOUS, but I particularly love the purple and blue combo. :07: And the morse code idea is absolutely ingenious! I love that so much!

Charlotta I remembered seeing your vintage clasps in another thread, and you have some beauties! It's definitely fun searching for treasures. I love most things vintage and am really happy to have another type of treasure to hunt! Thank you, CortezPearls ! Happy Mother's Day back at ya!

Thank you! I'm so happy with them. I've never looked for pearls at an antique store before but I'll be checking every strand I see from now on! :18:

I took my mom out for lunch and to a couple antique stores for Mother's Day today. One store we went in had 4-5 pearl necklaces locked up in a case at the register so I asked to see them. They were priced between $250-$450 and the guy said they were real and he'd had them all restrung so they...

I've gone through pages and pages of this thread since I joined a few days ago and every pearl and person in this thread is so dang beautiful! :07: I can't wait to have something to share here!

I definitely will! By the way, your quote in your signature is really lovely. I shared it with a friend who's struggling with feelings of negative self-worth and she thought it was a beautiful way to look at life. :07:

Usually I have an "it's my thing, I can do what I like with it" type of attitude, but I think the M word scared me a little bit. Now I'll go forth and get something made that I'll love wearing! Thank you! :)

CortezPearls and Pearl Dreams, thank you both for your feedback! I really appreciate your help! CortezPearls, I don't have pierced ears so I was thinking of having the earrings made into a ring. Is that frowned upon?

Oh hey! I just thought to take a photo of them with my grandmother's pearl earrings! The earring backs say mikimoto on them. I also have 2 pearls my friend sent me that she made into earrings after having her mikimoto necklace restrung after she lost weight. It seems like mikimoto fittings get...
