I never thought about asking Kojima for a piece I was dreaming of or wanting.

I wish someone would buy it and put me out of my misery. I'm committed to not buying new clothes, shoes or jewelry this year, but I taught myself to knot beads and pearls recently. I plan to redesign some necklaces given to me by my 80 yo mother-in-law and I will use this post as a guide. Your posts are always inspiring and I appreciate the Etsy and eBay references.

(My elderly mother distracted me with a trip to the emergency room, so thoughtful :). <br /><br /> Such creative ideas for renos, with dramatic changes in appearance!

I was especially drawn to the Winter Blossom necklace and will definitely pin it for future reference. Thanks for making this so easy to do. Maybe this will be the year I tackle my too young, too small strand. Great to see the Passage is reopen, I look forward to it.LauraHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402103522466794364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-88351588167750835892017-01-05T13:52:16.753-05:002017-01-05T13:52:16.753-05:00hostess: Any of the three vendors above could acco...hostess: Any of the three vendors above could accommodate your request. All their stock is not online, and I have known one, Kojima, to take about a year to find something I wanted, and it was perfect.<br /><br />Also, here is a pair from Gump's, pricey, but look at the overtones:<br />http://www.gumps.com/p/gump-s-grey-akoya-baroque-earrings?cm_vc=Search<br /><br />Price will depend on whether your greys are freshwater or saltwater variety, and dyed or natural colour, but grey baroques are not hard to find.

Yo...Happy New Year and I hope its a pearly one too!<br />Your ideas on redesign are a great way to make a vintage simple strand into something much more current and wearable.<br />I have been lusting after a pair of simple grey baroque south sea earrings for quite some time and have not yet found the "perfect pair." They must be out there somewhere...sigh.<br />hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.com
