One Weird Trick to make your Designs Blow Everyone Away!

We just HATE the current trend in writing that uses emotionally-manipulative, attention-grabbing headlines to accompany some sort of meaningless drivel. Everything is "Top Ten this" and "What happened next took my breath away." Frequently, if you get sucked into reading it, you feel slightly dirty afterwards.
So to heck with that - Here's the Real Headline for today.

Is there anything more beautiful than a Pearl?

And that's a ridiculous statement too - because we know that beauty is highly subjective. However, when you are surrounded by piles of our hand-picked pearls - you have to admit, you could make a strong case for pearls!

And piles of them, we have. A fresh new stash of pearls, bringing with them fresh new ideas! And while pearls are a very old idea in personal adornment - there are still lots of ways to be new and innovative with them!

If you like a classic look - perhaps a little something for a summer wedding - this medium sized 6 mm round Light Ivory pearl is just the ticket. Truly - this is about as classic as it gets. Like Rolls Royces and Tuxedos, these will never go out of style!

If you prefer something a little more edgy - how about stick pearls? String them as-is for a dangerous looking collar, or mix them up with crystals. Or make some drippy earrings to go with it!


Maybe you'd rather have some colour - like this lovely Copper Mix - a rich set of hues and shades that practically designs itself!
We also have a few shades that no oyster ever came up with - like these lovely sapphire blue pearls or some mallard-green pearls.





And if you are looking for a handsome focal piece for your strand of pearls - how about these gallery-wire bezels? Made with a decorative wire, you just drop the 30 x 40 mm stone cabochon (or bead! 30 x 40 mm beads work too!) into place, and gently bend the wire edges down over the stone to hold it in place! Couldn't be easier!
