@ CathyKeshi I'm was thinking about giving this to here on here 4th birthday. I know it's a risk I'm taking here, but she always has so much interest in my wife's jewelery :rolleyes: But she has some plastic "jewelery" at the moment and she is treating it like gold

ok so I was just think out load in my last post. And I discussed this for about 5 seconds with my wife, I think the ladies here on this forum know enough. Guess it was a mistake showing here my last purchase:)

It sure was :) But my real goal are Tahitians peacocks or multicolored. Been on the look out for Tahitians , especially the peacock variants. But it very hard to find authentic ones at a reasonable price. I guess most people are not selling and hang on to there most valued possessions. As I'm...

Thx for the compliments! and its silver overtone btw. In daylight its even more beautifull. Its funny how a photograph can never capture the real beauty of a pearlnecklace

To be honest it's far above my expectations. It's a mikimoto, 16" chocker, pearl size 5mm-5.5mm, white with silver or pink overtone (I haven't seen it in natural daylight yet). Including receipt and sleeve. The pearls indeed are of very high quality an luster. It's amazingly beautifull!! It was...

And here it is in my possession

Hi Pattye, i think its real also. It is not advertised on ebay, and i have to take a 45min drive just to have a look :-( But i have the pearl flu, so I will problably bid for it.

So what do you think of this one. it's about 45 years old according to the seller. Sterling clasp, looks like white akoya with silver overtone, 16'' in length measurement. The seller thinks it's 4mm to 5mm pearls. It's bought in Japan, so no nots between the pearls. Based on the first picture I...

bought these recently, and already posted both on this forum not so long ago. But i think both are very nice

LOL :D its more that I love doing all the research and trying to find the best deal out there. Trying to get all the knowledge about pearls that is available. But if I ever decided to wear them, I will remember your advise and won't tell her :D

I think I like pearls even more then my wife :p

Just a question for all the women on this forum and maybe even for the men, like myself. Do you like buying vintage or new pearls. And why? And if you receive them from your boyfriend or husband. Does it matter if it's new or vintage? And why? I'm just curious.

thx for your offer dmj. I will do that and i will contact you immediatly when im ready for a restring, that in my opinion is a must in this case. Are you also able to provide me with a contact to clean and pollish them professionally?

After a good look, I decided to settle for shape: round :cool: color: white underground, pink overtone, luster: very good, surface quality:A+ Will be on the look out for Haitian pearls and freshwater pearls next.

i looked it up in older pearl guide post. You could be reffering to this post https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1854 I was told that this necklace could be at least 20-30 years old. But i am not able to confirm if the clasp was indeed used in an older time period.
