I am new to the group and just wanted to say that your creations are simply wonderful - breathtaking. Quite unique!
I have been perusing through this forum (nice people) since Christmas and meant to compliment sooner but had a problem getting my account setup.
Have not bought a pearl/pearls yet - waiting to see if the ax will fall at work. I am eyeing the monthly sale on "The Pearl Outlet".
Didn't think I was a pearl kinda girl and now I am hooked.
this is how I started - I just wanted to learn little bit about pearls to know if I did a good buying ONE strand of pearls for my mother while being in China. I was saying then that I'm NOT a pearl person....
Don't fight your urges !!! nothing helps anyway.....
Oh, And thank for the complements about my beading attempts...
Safe to say we all do lots more "window shopping" than buying. If thinking about "just one" there is always a pretty freshwater pearl pendant to get you started--.
Sad about your job, and like Gem Geek, wishing you a better opportunity also.
Bad news about your job. It might be a good time for research.. save pictures of pearls you like (I have some VERY nice baroque paspaley pearls courtesy of Blair ) ).
You can't wear them, but you can look any time you want and you'll learn as you go.

You guys made me smile. I needed that.
It's been a hectic few days - getting all my stuff out of the company laptop.
I was there for 11 yrs - co-workers there were like a family to me. Oh well -
Thank you all for your well wishes. I'll keep y'all posted.
