and my question is, ive been making jewellery for a while now, and a lady who bought a bracelet off me gave me a bunch of pearl to make her something and ive had them for months and i just dont have a clue wot to do with them they are real pearls as well, but they are aweird shape

like a half a round bead different sizes too ' D ' <---like that with the hole through the middle, any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Real pearls arnt round as we know them.
Maybe you could divide them into the different sizes, have the biggest at the middle/centre of any design and work your way out to the smaller ones.
I was mucking about with bits and bobs I have at home and I put together pearls, white/plain diamontes(the ones with the metal setting so it can be threaded)and aurora borealis beads.The combination looks beautiful.I still have it, I stuck it in my arty crafty book as inspiration.I also added a pearl drop.

The D shape beads are often used on bracelet as spacers as they sit nicely. It depends how many you have.

Pearls are very trendy at the minute - have a look on the High Street. I have made a necklace and matching bracelet mixing light grey and dark grey pearls with swarovski bicones. http://www.queenofbeads.co.uk/7.html...ta1_type=large

There is also one made with swarovski wave pearls in my gallery, I love the shape!

And last night I did a necklace on stretch magic with 10mm champagne glass pearls and champagne rice pearls. No picture yet, as I am wearing it today. I got compliments on all three sets of pearls necklace! :lol:

Hope you get inspired!
