Wow! I love the size of them! They look amazing on you, Pomelo!

Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments! I’ve always enjoyed the satisfaction of making something substantial out of tiny components like seed beads. But yes, it certainly does require patience (which is good practice for me, since patience isn’t always my strong suit!).

Thank you, everyone, for your positive feedback! @BWeaves, I love Etruscan jewellery (I am actually a specialist in Etruscan archaeology) so there are definitely ancient influences in my work. I’d love to gain experience as a goldsmith so that I can create more antiquity-inspired pieces in the...

Hehe, thank you so much, Douglas and Bweaves! Here is a neck-shot. I’m wearing it tonight for Friday dinner. :)

Hello everyone! Here’s a fun freshwater pearl and silver bead collar that I made a while back. It’s pretty extra, so I haven’t worn it very much, but I had a lot of fun making it!

Thank you so much, 2thdktr!

Wow, lary007, that’s such a wonderful assortment of pearls you have put together! I love your new golden pendant! The keshi discussion over the last couple days has been very fascinating to read! There is always so much to learn here at Pearl-Guide! I’m having dinner with my family tonight to...

I always love the combination of gold and green! I prefer the darker emerald in either of the two metals.

Thank you so much, lary007!

Thank you so much, SteveM! I liked this cabochon because the contrast between the light and deep blue reminded me of the waters around a coral reef.

I love those leaf-style earring findings, CatMom!

Thank you, Jeg! I’d love to see some of Marianne’s beaded pieces with Sea of Cortez mabe. If only I could get my hands on some myself! I’d love to try working with such a gorgeous material.

Thank you so much, BWeaves! I think when we create, we imbue a little bit of our own soul into each piece we make, so it’s like you have your dear friend with you when you wear her jewellery. I love the huge variety of semi-precious cabochons available for beading. So many interesting colours...

Hello fellow beaders! I have wanted to share some of my creations with the “Lowly Beaders Club” for a while now, and I think it is time that I finally do so! I’ve created this thread to show a few of my works. I’ve been making beaded jewellery as a hobby since I was about seven or eight years...

Wow, BWeaves, your new blue Akoya pendant is so stunning and unique! What a great impulse purchase. And Jeg, those golden akoyas are gorgeous! I love the warm and natural glow that they emit. And nice Tahitians, Tiger! It has been a busy week at work, but I’m going to a BBQ tonight and wearing...

Thank you for the clarification, Pearl Dreams! Pomelo, here are two pictures of my mermaid Tahitians that I saved from CMW’s website. I won’t post the link though, since I believe it is now invalid. I think these show how the colours in the photos are accurate. Here’s one of my own pictures for...

Thanks, Jeg! My husband takes all the credit! He has great taste and loves to surprise me, so he mostly chooses the jewelry himself. Once and a while though I send a hint or suggestion his way, especially when it comes to pearls! Your new Kasumi earrings are stunning, as are your strands! The...

Thanks, Pomelo! I was also nervous to purchase internationally, but I saw that a lot of members here had nice strands from CMW, so I took the chance. And I was so happy when I opened the box upon arrival and saw that the green Tahitians were as colourful and bright as they looked on the...

Thank you, CatMom!

Wow, BWeaves, that’s some unbelievable colour you have on today! And CatMom, your blue Akoyas and green Tahitian pendant are stunning! I love blue and green hues! Jeg, your Tahitians are breathtaking, as always! So much lustre! Today I’m going out for lunch, and I’m wearing a pair of golden...
