Hi Well, of course i used the measurements only fictive to give an 'example' this was not based on a actual pearl/s which i would have needed them in front of me. Like i said, this was more or less to give an example that the prices can vary a lot depend on the size of the pearl especially the...

The best !!! :d

Good on you Lester, please return them. Even for the quality of Freshwater you paid to much and yes you simply have been lied too! I am still in love with that GREEN South Sea Baroque Pearls though :P daveTT No i am a german but my name as far as i know originates from norway ;) We just...

Oh dear.. i guess i take my last post back after what i found looking trough the listings... like this one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SOUTH-SEA-AA-12-15MM-CUSTOM-GREEN-BEAUTIFUL-BAROQUE-PEARL-NECKLACE-17IN-/230886451738?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35c1e7aa1a :confused:

well, to be honest, i am a bit in a dilemma, they could be south sea even not AAA though at all. Are they really that pinkish if you have them in your hand or they more like white as shown in the ebay photo?

hmm that's a bummer Lester, any more information's you have would help us to be sure, would you be able to make a closeup from one or more of the pearls, maybe even around the drill holes? The necklace just doesn't look right to me in therms of even shapes and color of the pearls, to be south...

Yes Jeremy and no offense Lester but it does look like the typical "South Sea Pearl Necklaces" you get in eBay from China, they mostly have those 14K clasp as well

Hi Lester, pretty sure those are Freshwater Pearls. A 18" strand like this and even if you would find a sufficient amount of round south sea pearls with a pinkish overtone, that would be something else and anything but cheap!

Jeremy, hit the nail.. nothing i could add to it! Well done, this thread should be 'sticky' !

Thanks Caitlin! Wayan if you dont mind, post a photo here and i am sure you will get a lot of input. If you want you can PM me at any time and i may can help you in one or another way as well. Cheers

Hi Wayan.. judging by your name i wonder, are you in Bali?

i thought so. Well, buying pearls in Lombok can be very difficult i agree. Mostly pearls directly from the farm, are only been sold by the lot and therefore only grams are used. None of the pearls are measured other than the total gram weight. The gram weight of a pearl does give the...

Momme weight is usually shown as "mm." and so is millimeter :rolleyes: So i only can guess it depends on the seller. Sorry i guess i misinterpreted the actual question before, thanks Caitlin!

Hi mmutiara, well yes and no. Usually all single pearls are described with grams and sizes (mm), or at least should be. In general, depend on the shape the bigger a pearls gets the more expensive the pearl will be per gram. Example (prices are fictive) a round golden south sea pearl with 11mm...

Hi Pattye, thank you! Oh i miss those days where gold was 200bucks... tons of stunning jewelry.. On the other hand the chance to make a second piece alike is now non existing.

my money would be on Shell Pearls

Hi Karin, thank you, we too love the high karat golds, i wish i could bath in them ( plus a few kilos of pearls )! I am sure we will keep the photos at least on facebook even after they may get sold. Check out the upcoming pieces over the next weeks, keep the bib handy ;)

since this thread is about 'showing off' :D some of you may have noticed that we started with a new collection, finally after so many years actually. It took us a very long time after the burglary, from which all of our stock and beauties got stolen, to get back on the ground, plus the high...

Hi Neil, post a picture and i am sure everyone here i happy to help!

Hi Babypearl, yes those look very much like South Sea Pearls and the Black one Tahitian. The strand looks like South Sea or Akoya Keshi Pearls.
