MintyFresh, I think it's supposed to be a Coconut Crab on the T-shirt, but it is giving lobster vibes. Visiting Dad again today. Golden South Sea pearls, tourmalines, and a couple of Tahitian pearls. Golden South Sea Keshi necklace custom made for me by Hisano from Pearl Paradise. Pomme de la...

According to Sarah at Kojima, the Japanese are stringing white akoyas with dark grey knots for a very modern look. So your brown thread with the peachy freshies are right in style.

Cute necklace. Great price.

100% Kamoka chested today. Coral Atoll circled Tahitian pearl necklace and mismatched Tahitian earrings from Kamoka. This is my favorite jeans and a T-shirt necklace. The men's T-shirt doesn't have the claws pinching my nipples. I love the shape of the women's T-shirt, but this particular...

It's been a while. I'm still healing from surgery. Going to Dad's today wearing my new Kasumi ring. I'm having a hard time photographing it, though. But my real prize is wearing my reworked long Tahitian keshi tin-cup from Kojima that I broke. Hisano had reworked it as a double strand...

Helen Mirren attended the New York premiere of A Talent for Murder on Wednesday evening wearing Australian South Sea pearls from Margot McKinney.

JEG: That keshi and briolette necklace is gorgeous. I regret not buying one during the PP Live event they did. Love your mix and match dangles, too. I'm easing back into getting dressed up. Akoya pearls. But faux pearl sheep. Opal and akoya ring from OceanRhyme. Vintage akoya ring and...

The Real-Real has a lot of pearls for sale.

Micron setting? Wow, I didn't think you could get thinner gold plating than gold plating. So I guess it goes: Gold Filled - Thickest gold coating. 5% of total weight of item must be gold. Vermeil - Gold over silver. 2.5 microns of gold. Gold plate - Thinnest gold coating. 0.5 microns to...
