I love to hang the unstrung ones on the wall in one group and the finished ones in another group. They are on thumbtacks-we'll just have to fix the wall when we move!
I bought all the unfinished strands you see from the G&LW show in the Tucson gem show. They are all commercial grade pearls so a couple hundred $$ gets you a lot of pearls at $3-$10 per! Very satisfactory to my lowly beaderness!
Just for fun--here are some of my commercial grade gemstones laid out on the silver tray before I put them in little boxes. They cost $1 to $3!!! each.

I think I should move a couple of these to my personal thread.....
This tacklebox is my workshop-to-go. All ineed is a bead board.... My first bead box was a small metal tackle box in the 60s (I still have it with tools in it now)
It must be a touch of OCD, but I Love to sort beads and pearls and put them in little boxes.....I have mentioned the time I sorted about 12oz of sequins in separate colors in separate little bags when the mixed bag didn't sell on eBay. All the tiny bags full (about 20) sold on eBay as a unit, very quickly. Sometimes I just sort beads and pearls as they tend to collect in mixed up bunches on my work table..... I usually find ones I had been looking for. Of course, I am retired.
