    So glad you’re back! 🙂

    Great podcast. I feel like I’m listening to NPR!

    Thank you for the pearl post tip. I’ve not tried pearls yet – have been wanting to – and am so glad to have this info in advance.

    I can’t tell you how many times I have referred back to your blog……thank you so much!

    Thanks for this useful advice about making pearl jewellery. I have made lots of pearl stud earrings by glueing them onto a post and cup and so far have not had any back! I think the cup helps to give more surface area for the pearl to adhere to.

    I have just been asked to make my first pearl ring setting, so your post is very timely! I understand what you are trying to achieve, but not sure how patient I would be to saw and file a piece that size! I will have to see how I get on.

    Many thanks for the tips – bifocals are a necessity for me now, so will look into the safety glasses! I usually wear mine over the top of my glasses, but it’s not great.

    Glad you are feeling better now – it’s good to see your posts again

    I just came across your website today and I wanted to tell you how wonderful it, and you, are! As a beginner, I have found a lot of different information in different places that has been helpful, but never have I found anything as all encompassing as your site and podcasts. Thank you so much for doing what you do!
