Bravo Pearly-Whites! Great job turning an otherwise dull strand of Tahitians into something lovely. It does have the look of a harvest strand.View attachment 47471View attachment 47472View attachment 47473View attachment 47474View attachment 47475
This is an example of how pearls that are not loved or worn can be reworked into something completely different. These started out as a 7.5 mm near round gray Tahitian pearl strand that was purchased in Hawaii nearly 20 years ago. They were "blah" and looked like something that a 12 year old would wear. I added Tahitian keishi pearls, large Tahitian baroques (up to 16mm), some white SS pearls and a few SS golden baroques. All excepting the SS goldens were sourced from Ehlert Designs which operates a store both on Ebay and Easy and the golden SS were purchased from e-store (reputable Chinese company) on Ebay. Moral of the story....if you don't like them or wear them, cut them apart!
Thank you, lmgarden!
OMG Jersey, LOVE that tin cup. Did you buy the pearls as a parcel and put it together yourself? The mix of colors is perfect!
It's in post #5461.JersyPearl, did you try to attach a photo? I don't see one.
That's pretty interesting, Jersey. I've never tried the heat protective gel. Does that stuff damage the pearl at all or is it pretty inert material?
