Mom's dragon torsade. I did take a photo wearing them, but I managed to have the clasp upside down, doh! Freshwater rice krispie pearls. 12 strands. They're very iridescent, and slightly peachy pink. They probably need a good wash, but I don't relish restringing this necklace. The...

You've got an original certificate number. That helps a lot. I've never seen that clasp or stamp on the back before. Mikimoto America can probably give you more information.

They are luminous. They really glow in your photos.

What an interesting setting. I'm wondering if these are naturals, too.

Welcome PearlyLibrarian. I love your collection. It's not easy being green, Pistachio edition. I just bought a new phone today. Pistachio green. Mixed tin-cup, ombre' Tahitian tin-cup, and pistachio Tahitian studs from Kojima. Pistachio baroque akoyas from PP. It was the only strand...

Gorgeous pearls, JEG. It's not easy being green. little h enhancer, tin-cup, and earrings with emeralds.

WOWZA. Gorgeous window shopping. Visiting Dad today. One of my Dad's lady friends fondled my pearls. A fellow pearl lover. Ocean's Cove TNT necklace (Tourmalines and Tahitians). Longer Tahitian strand from Kojima, I think. Tahitian pendant "La Perlagrina" from Kamoka. Opal and...

They look better! I LOVE the idea of rearranging them into an ombre' strand.

WOWZA! JEG, I'm drooling over those window shots. Both the wall art and the pearl jewelry. Just chilling at home in pearls. Coin pearls I restrung with Mom's clasp. I think it works better with the coin pearls than with small round pearls. Freshwater drops from Kojima worn on my own...

Mikimoto strands usually come with a serial number on a small piece of paper, at least my mother's did. If you don't have that, there's no way to get a new one. The clasp looks authentic, but the pearls and the clasp are really dirty. They need a good cleaning and restringing. Any good...

Visiting Dad today. Kasumi and amethyst earrings from Kojima. Chinese ripples from Pacific Pearls. I'd love a strand of real Kasumi pearls, but these ripples look amazing and were a fraction of the price. I knotted them on rose pink Serafil from Pattye.

Keeping it simple today. 9mm Hanadama studs from PP. The reason I got my ears pierced was because I saw a photo of Meryl Streep in The Deer Hunter, and she was wearing a simple pair of pearl studs, and I loved the look.

JEG: I love that stuffed shell. I've been eyeing it for some time, of course.

The lighting has been terrible the last couple of days, so I photographed everything this morning instead. The lighting is excellent today. The colors are really showing up well. Mixed ombre' tin-cup from Kojima. I love a good ombre'. Winter Snowman and Summer Rainbow pendants worn on...

Sarah at Kojima made it and the pearls looked like sea glass, so she called it the Sea Glass necklace. And we all drooled over it, and JEG got it!
