I still hafta' wear 'em this way most especially while skiing. The 80's were a great decade indeed :)<br /><br />Best, LachlanLachlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701400953567447964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855604316809651223.post-25753132100491686542012-06-13T16:17:49.095-07:002012-06-13T16:17:49.095-07:00All the girls at my school had add-a-beads.

Mine is so tangled that the jeweler could do nothing with it and they cannot locate a chain for me. Anyone know of a jeweler that still carries them? I'd like to start wearing mine again.

How about having them made into two necklaces in that more-casual styling known as "Tin Cup"...after the golf movie where Renee Russo wore a pearl necklace which had spaced pearls strung in between silver chain areas? <br /><br />Good luck with that and I know that however these pearls are finally set, your daughters will enjoy them :) Best, LachlanLachlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701400953567447964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855604316809651223.post-4105815422640555782011-10-22T20:23:20.974-07:002011-10-22T20:23:20.974-07:00I started both my girls on an add a pearl necklace...I started both my girls on an add a pearl necklace when they were born, unfortunately they only have a combined 18 pearls between the two of them. I'm debating what to do??? I could have 1 braclet made but that wouldn't be fair to the daughter who doesn't get it. Is it ok to split the beads and have 2 necklaces made and keep them as is? In other words I don't think at this point we will still be adding any more pearls.what to donoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855604316809651223.post-46249457509809476952011-07-27T00:55:28.391-07:002011-07-27T00:55:28.391-07:00You're so welcome Hillcrest Acres :)

Although my daughter turned 19 today, I started her an add a pearl necklace when she turned 1. Although she received her first full strand of real pearls for her hs grad in 2010, I think I will start adding pearls to catch up with her age. What a grate trip down memory lane! I too had short hair and my mother swears that the Dorothy Hamill haircut was her favorite hair cut on me!Beaufort Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749512995122204045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855604316809651223.post-9105914080216410632011-07-10T16:00:40.857-07:002011-07-10T16:00:40.857-07:00I still have both my add-a-bead and add-a-pearl. ...I still have both my add-a-bead and add-a-pearl.
