Thank you Jeremy. If you say so I completely agree. Good news.

Pattye you have an amazing eye. If you didn't said I wouldn't have noticed that it is graduated. But it is. For me, without measuring it it is quite unnoticeable. I think I will agree with you and use the gold one. Thank you. Now look something to use the sapphire one that I really loved for...

To me also an akoya pearl. Much better looking pearl than the ones in the pair of earrings.

In my opinion this is an akoya pearl. Not great condition.

Hello everyone. I have this akoya necklace and want to replace the silver clasp and put knots between pearls. I want to use the sapphire and platinum clasp, but I have the gold option also. I'm thinking if they are too large or if the sapphire one is too much for this necklace. Please give me...

Hello everyone? Are those tahitians? I think they are because of the setting but not sure and the seller couldn't inform. They measure around 11.5 mm. Thank you.

What I can say is that both necklaces are of much higher quality than the other more "commercial" akoya pearls that I have, bought in jewelry stores. This is very interesting, as even famous jewelry stores don't use the best pearls in their pieces, even when they use 18k gold. In the photo I...

in the photo of the earrings at the top is the mikimoto a+ pair and the other mikimoto with smaller pearls. below the pair of hanadama earrings. this yellow reflection that they have underneath does not exist to the naked eye. In the photo on my arm on the left is the hanadama necklace and on...

about the pearls: comparing the two necklaces I bought, the hanadama and the simpler one, what I noticed right away is how the simpler one is much more pink. the hanadama has a pink halo and varied tones but the other has a much stronger presence of pink. I was intrigued and picked up a pair of...

about the certificate: what I learned is that if you have a certificate from this company, which apparently is a private Japanese company, and it is like mine, like ss or s if it is more recent, you have pearls that are of the hanadama type , which is supposed to be one of the best types of...

Hello everyone. Sorry for reviving this, but I would like to update what happened and what I learned as a way of helping anyone that want any info about that, just as I have been helped so many times here. I bought the certificate set and I also bought another necklace that the same seller had...

Thank you everyone. I won't buy the necklace. Steve M completely by chance but good Catch on the heart.

Hello everyone? Is this vintage necklace made of natural pearls? Is it possible to tell from pictures? I really liked the unusual shape of the pearls but thought it was on the expensive side so here I am asking if it looks good. Thank you, Elias

Yes love the hinged bail idea. Multiple jewelry options in just one item.

I don't think it's so difficult. Here are two examples of brushed gold made by h. Stern. They are both removable. The smaller one you can even change the pendant before attach to a necklace.
