My small collection

[mochi]

Just a some of the pearls that I have collected. Most are unstrung, a couple with clasps.

Unfortunately I don''t have the stats on these but I placed a dime just so you get the idea of how big they are.

This one is from LILEI1971 (ebay).

Oh wow, mochi, those are beautiful pearls. I''m familiar with pearllunar, but I''m going to have to check out the other seller! Are the coppery (first ones) and lavender pearls dyed? Those first ones are very intriguing. What are you going to do with your unstrung strands?

Thank you cellentani. The seller LILEI1971 was posted as a good place to buy by a pearl forum that I visit. The only thing is, the shipping is very expensive and they didn''t give me a discount for multiple shipping. I probably will not be ordering from them again. Yes, although it wasn''t in the discription, I believe that the first two has been dyed.

I want to learn the stringing method that you posted, so I''m going to be reading your posts over and over again!

Okay, I just checked out LILEI1971, and you weren't kidding about the shipping fees!

Some of their pearls look very nice though, and if I were to bid, I'd try to get one of their 2, 3, or 4-strand lots. That would at least give me enough for a few multi-strand bracelets or necklaces. ETA: never mind - $45 shipping for 4 strands is crazy!

I'm thrilled you want to try knotting, but just remember, if my method doesn't work for you, there are tons of other tutorials online! Can't wait to see some of your work!
