Pearl throne was my first thought too
Today someone (male) told me it resembled a toilet! It doesn’t have the gossamer green/blue glow that my smaller freshwater pendant has, but they both have this weird quality where you think its transparent, but when you look close, it’s just luster.

I just love that strand. I survived the ansty teens, hope all went well for you too.
The result of obsessive hunting and shopping. Not sure if I should add a “sadly” there or not
. I enjoy the huntMy thread arrived today and I immediately strung my metallic Edisons. OMG are these pearls fab!!!! I was somewhat regretting my return of the PP strand but no more. I used fig beaders secret, the wine seemed too red. In this light the pearls were copper wine so no telling if fig will look ok when the pearls are purple pink looking but for now I am loving it
P.s. ignore my unclipped threads I don’t trim until the glue dries.

Those are gorgeous! I love the fig color. I think you made the right decision on returning the PP strand. This one is lovely and the price leaves more room to acquire more pearly treasures!
I asked Kongs to be on the look out for a bronze strand.
Mod shots. They look mostly purple in these but the fig doesn’t seem wrong
I wanted to change placements on my harvest strand and decide where to put the 4 goldens I am waiting on, but without the goldens in hand that would be hard as I would have to remember where they went later. Plus once I have them, I am going to want to knot not temp string. So what I did was place garish green beads where I want the goldens to go when they finally arrive. Here is a sneak peek of my strand with the bead place holders:
I think my best decisin was to temp string so I could check for symmetry and overall look. Not only did I catch errors, it I saw before it was completed that I needed more dark golds in a section.
Plus when I knot them, I can just pull off the next pearl and not worry about them rolling out of place. If I take a break, I can knot the temp thread and pic up where I left off later.

OMG!! Your Kongs metallics are spectacular!! I think fig is the perfect choice, too. You are going to enjoy wearing these so much! I'm so happy for you!
That's a great idea! It's going to look stunning when it's completed!
