Those glow!

So sorry for your loss, Douglas.

It's not easy being green. Now these circled Kamoka Tahitians are a good match to my nail polish. Testing to see if this video link works. Let me know if it doesn't.

Happy Thanksgiving! Taking Dad to my brother's house for Thanksgiving. All I have to cook is "show up." Planet Berna Tahitian pendant and Bali earrings from Kamoka Pearl. Longer Tahitian bubble ombre' necklace from Kojima Pearl. TNT (Tahitians and tourmalines) circled pearls necklace from...

Thanks GemGeek. I was trying to match my Tahitian pearls, haha.

I don't see anything in the photos, either. I've dropped my pearls on tile floors and they're fine.

Freshwater pearls and jade, and emeralds, and sapphires, and one tourmaline. Necklace from Kojima Pearl. little h earrings from Hisano at Pearl Paradise.

OK! This is my gut feeling. That used to be a cultured pearl, but it's either been through the digestive system of an animal, or submerged in vinegar or the wrong sort of cleaning solution. It looks like all the pearl nacre has been eaten off and all that's left is the shell nucleus...

I'm having the same problem with my hands. I can't work half my clasps anymore. I recently had some of my pearls restrung with big, chunky hooks. Toggles also work well, but make sure the bar is big enough that it doesn't slip out of the ring part. And you might want a bit of chain on the...

Rene' Newman shows this clasp in her Pearl books. It's infinitely adjustable, because you can clasp it over any pearl in the necklace, or leave it hang like an end bead.

Pearlgully, those are stunning
