Thank you, Pareltje and hanadama! I'm working on a making a full suite of pipi jewelry and have found a pearl syndrome of my own: pearl quality syndrome. Laurent's been so great to work with and I count him as a friend these days, but my budget is pretty small, so I'm not getting any where close to the best quality (my one ring is the highest quality pipi I own). Every time I see an exceptional pearl from him it just kills me! There's this one that won my heart recently and I am trying to figure out how in the world I could afford it. I feel that I'm going to slowly do an upgrade to everything I'm currently making LOL. I guess there's no cure
(not that I want one, mind you)
