Love your new bracelets!
Yes, I have bought from that shop before - I bought 8mm Tahitian studs and a 3-pearl Tahitian necklace similar to the one you have in your post above. Great luster for the pearls but packaging could have been better. One of the earring posts was slightly bent but you know what, it's held up more than 2 years later 
Hi Ladies,
I can’t believe it but I’m just discovering Edison pearls. I heard you all talking about them but it never clicked until now.
I am wondering where you buy yours?
Specifically, I’m interested in loose pearls with the idea being I learn how to string them.
All advice welcome.
TIA!

I bought my recent multi-coloured Edison strand from Fandapearl on Etsy. I think you can also check out Kongspearl, also on Etsy.
You can buy a starter kit for stringing from Patricia Saab on Etsy - basically, we use a thread called Beaders' Secret which is easier to manage and knot than silk. You can find it here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/560521...er-kit-stringing?ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1
You can learn how to string by following the steps here - they are also using Beaders' Secret here: https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/s...inging-Pearls-on-Beader-s-Secret-or-Power-Pro
That's how I learned how to string pearls

This is exactly the push in the right direction I needed.
PS-I drool over all your pearls ❤️
All this Tahitian talk had me looking this morning. Offered a low amount and it was accepted....so these cute circle t's are on their way to the USA! 8-11mm. I love the colors in the circle t's. This is my 4th strand of Tahitians and they are all different. I plan to restring them with an orbit clasp and maybe a lighter color thread. Fun times ahead!
I have purchased a few strands of Edison pearls from Fanta pearl as well.
SmokieDragon, thanks for your answer. I bought some pearls from AlohaPearlsHawaii and told them a few minutes after buying that the address was wrong as etsy remembered the address of a friend. They did not answer and I asked them once again. No answer. So I hope that my friend doesn't have to go to the customs.
Efleon, I bought from wenpearls on etsy too and was very content.
Thanks so much and you're very welcome! Thanks to @TXLVlove for showing me the ropes so that I can pass the knowledge on as well
