    Please help me identity these pearls!

    I've seen a lot of pre WWII fakes that have sterling silver clasps, and a lot of vintage Mikimoto's with sterling silver clasps. You really can't go by the clasps. I have fake clasps on some of my really good pearls, too. And gold clasps on some good fakes.

    Lovely ring! I love your colorful akoya tin-cup, JEG. I'm a little jealous that I can't do wire wrapping. I tried it, but I'm crap at it. I admire anyone who can do it. I love tin-cups, and I LOVE colorful, especially blue akoyas. Today, I'm wearing a classic 9mm Hanadama studs from PP...

    Mini-RUCKUS South East!

    Today was Mini-RUCKUS South East 2! Merrily and I had tea and scones and pearls at Tiger's house! And then I got home and these arrived from Kojima, and Greg did something he's never done before. He grabbed them and put them on. And then he refused to smile for the "blackmail photo" as...

    Thanks again to Hisano for fixing my long Kojima Tahitian keshi tin-cup necklace that I broke. The first clasp I picked (small orbit) really did not work when turning this long tin-cup into a double strand necklace. So I asked Hisano to replace it with a square push clasp that is designed for...

    I originally went with my 3 strand choker this morning, but then I remembered I had a doctor's appointment for my neck, and switched to my reborn pearls.
