So grateful that I could watch the livestreams! Thank you for the awesome education! I hope much fun was had by all.

This is beyond hilarious. I was *literally* thinking about the (in)famous lop noors just yesterday! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I hope all are on the mend in your house! Hopefully a nice soak on these rondelles does the trick. Worth noting: Bark Keeper's Friend has oxalic acid in the ingredients which can be a bit of an etchant. For my own metalsmithing work I use Bon Ami if I am going to use a cleanser of any kind...

Thank you! I had to catch up later in the day (work took over the middle of my day) - and am so glad I did. Delightful discussion and what beautiful pearls!

What stunning pearls and I love your styling. The station necklace is a nice design - well done!

Well this is the best place to re-enter the pearl-guide conversations after my many years of distraction and being away, right? Congratulations! What a great line up of board members and what a great president to lead the way forward! Can't wait to see what manifests :)

So beautiful - and your photos look great! Thanks for sharing. :)

That is stunning - what a great find! Wear it in good health. :) [BTW: I am loving the Facebook feed - I get real-time (ish) notices of the new posts here so I can keep up more effectively.]

Hi Sheryl - I've been more lurking than posting but love to follow everyone's work. Glad to hear you've made it through your (epic!) move. :) These are great designs - such a nice balance between the texture of the leather and the glorious colors of the pearls. Wishing you tons of success in...

Congratulations on the honor!

Wow Pattye - what beautiful designs! I love the colors and those little sparks of gold in the findings. Very wearable and distinguished.

Lovely photo of a stunning design - a huge congratulations to both of you!!

Thanks for posting all (as I peek up from my desk). It sounds like a fulfilling and wonderful weekend once again! Some day I hope to be less chained to the construction industry and able to break away during the summer. And Pattye - I heard through the grapevine that, indeed, it's true. I love...

Brilliant and beautiful Josh! Congratulations on taking this step. :)

Beautiful, beautiful! What nice designs you've created to commemorate the occasion. The colors and matching on the pearls are lovely and I can't imagine a better jewelry gift for a young lady. I'm with the others here - do encourage her to wear them often and with all kinds of outfits.

Great designs! Love the work that you've done and thank you for the photos. Did you also make the pondslime earrings? Lovely pearls on those.

Those are amazing. Thank you for posting so many photos - even though I know the colors are difficult to capture, we can certainly get an idea of the magnificent range in those pearls. Very nice and dynamic design to show them off!

Such a gorgeous combination of textures and colors in that bracelet. Really amazing. Thanks for posting the image and other links, Cathy! Caitlin - I, too, will work for pearls. :D

Stunning! I have distinct pearl envy - these are some of the most beautiful pearls I've ever seen. Good on ya' with the Valentine's gift! :)
