I may not be an expert on blogs - but this is the BEST blog I know. It is hard to believe it's created by only ONE person - let alone a person with a completely seperate career ... and a family... who teaches workshops, works for important causes...ETC!! I do know she is a scientist, so perhaps she has secretly figured out either 'cloning' or 'time travel'...? Posts never cease to amaze me with their consistently impressive relevance, usefulness, rich content and fascinating 'surprises.' I find myself more and more depending on The Beading Gem's Journal as the place to go when I want to find inspiration, instruction and interesting information about everything JEWELRY, BEADS, WIREWORK, etc. Well, somehow I still don't think I've even covered how impressive this blog is. A-MAA-ZING!

The Beading Gem's Journal is truely fantastic!! Pearl's writing is meticulously clear & concise, yet warm in tone. She has a flawless instinct for just the right amount of information with every post. Her inexhaustibly informative topics cover a 'perfect' range. She stays on-topic for those of us love-struck with jewellery, but still keeps posts diverse and interesting. I LOVE the historical pieces, but have often been helped more than she might imagine by her instructive/creative idea posts. Some days she brings us things so 'out-there' I'd never have imagined them, and at others she brings us back to the simplicity of a student's first bead creation. Somehow she manages to do such a great job, time after time (I'm sure it's not ALL she has to do!). I'd rate her blog an 11 if I could.

This blog is one of my absolute favorites. I love the mix of topics related to jewelry and jewelry making. I especially like the historical insight that is actually really, really interesting and sometimes better than the modern soap opera!

This is one of the most informative jewelry blogs out there in blog land. Every trip to Pearl's blog is a learning experience. She researches her topics exceptionally well and is always posting something different or surprisingly unique. I like to visit her site to learn about new jewelry artists, techniques and for well written overviews about history of various jewelry mediums.

Sistren Pearl is a woman with a passion for beads, beading and beaded jewelry. I have seen many unique pieces featured on her blog. She encourages new beaders to explore colour combinations, textures and a mixture of styles.
