Oh, my! What a beautiful shot, showing how gorgeous all three types can be, each in their own way.

That strand looks beautiful on you ! Very striking ! And nice photo of the three - the silvery white really shows up !

 

[amti]

Gorgeous strands... all of them!!!

 

[GemGeek]

Is that a temporary unknotted strand? It looks amazing on you.

 

[Myizzkie]

Hello All - Thanks for the replies and compliments

GemGeek - They are permanent strand but came unknotted. I have been trying to learn how to re-strand (first attempt failed miserably until I am really able to string, I would not dare to work on these and ruin them.

You have a beautiful collection of pearls myizzkie!

 

[Myizzkie]

Thank you, Hanadama! (love your log-in name, totally appropriate in here

As little spare time as I have, I love hanging out here with friends who appreciate the same thing.

The family picture is wonderful and they look like they play together well. Such a beautiful family, too.

 

[Katbran]

That is a gorgeous strand - where did you end up finding them if you don't mind telling ? And remember you can't ruin the strand with poor knotting ....you just have to stat all over ...lol have you decided on a clasp . ?

 

[Myizzkie]

amti -- thank you and love how you call it "family picture"

Katbran -- I actually reached out to a friend who mentioned to me about the certification of south sea pearls and asked the very same question I started this thread and was refered to this vendoe who sells jewelry and pearls wholesale in Korea so I reached out to the vendor, did not plan to buy anything but of course I ended up with a strand of WSS!

I agree with Katbran-- you can't ruin them by stringing. If you don't like the results the first time, consider it practice and just redo it.

 

[JerseyPearl]

Yep...and once you start, you will want to restring everything! If I can string pearls, believe me anyone can!!! I highly recommend Pattye's Beader's Secret and her needles and gimp. Check out the Lowly Beaders thread for a tutorial. And if you are afraid to begin on your beautiful pearls, then buy some cheap beads and practice. You can do it!

All three strands are absolutely stunning. Your White SSP is gorgeous and I love how you can wear it with denim and they don't look out of place. Where did you end up getting them?
