    The Great Pearl Heist (of 1913)

    Sounds interesting, But sounds more like a week's read at most. Maybe a couple of nights. Once I start reading something I really enjoy I can't stop. I read all my books via ebooks these days. Much easier for my old eyes. I will have to buy it from Amazon but not until I can drop...

    Dawn's Pearls

    Paul, the enamel duck is beautiful with the pearl of course. The duck is not attached to the pin/brooch it came with so if anyone has any ideas of what I could do with it do let me know. I could take it to a jeweller who has laser equipment and have it repaired or do something else with it...

    Dawn's Pearls

    Thank you all for your kind words. FrenchPearl although it is possible to find naturals in Tie Pins there are also cultured pearls and imitation pearls used so you need to be careful. Okay, a few more photos and I also plan to add the pearls I had in my other threads. This will be a slow...

    Dawn's Pearls

    Tay River Pearl. This is the one that Barry threw the paper work away on but somewhere in my files I think I have photo of it. As I said it was just the information from the lady from Scotland but I did believe it was on the level. I know these can no longer be taken from the River as it...

    Dawn's Pearls

    Hi, my next little beauty is a freeform style ring shank which I love with a South Sea or Silvery white/blue pearl. I suppose it could be Tahitian. The pearl measures 9mm x 8.25.mm x app. 8.29mm deep. 14 kt weight 3.8 grams so not a bad weight for a ring. Tried to show it from different...

    Dawn's Pearls

    This is a pair of Gold, Garden and Seed Pearls. I can't read the gold karat so will have to check. I will probably list them before long. I have worn them :) but just sitting at my computer. I think the back is called an Omega clip. They weight 14.6 grams and measure 19.20 x 15.94mm. Think...

    More photos. This is a 8.80mm x 8.44 by app. 8.50mm deep. Ignore the little blue pearls they are well worn cultured blues. I bought some Abalone pearls for abalonekiwi (?) but they are a little large and may not fit. I am thinking of adding something else if I cannot find more 3mm abalone...

    More Photos More Photos Okay, first the Bridal Collier which I was told was probably Biwa Pearls. Some are flat bottomed and some aren't. I will have to take more close up photos of that. Seems I messed up with Manage attachments so will try again in a moment. Dawn - Bodecia...

    Dawn's Pearls

    Hi Paul, it has a hole in the bottom but not in use now, as well as the hole on one side. I do feel it was set in a pendant at some time. That would allow for both holes and could have covered the rather strange blemish which I really need to look at under my USB mini microscope as soon as I...

    Vintage freshwater necklace?

    Hi Helen, Not sure what they are but they are lovely. Could they be genuine Japanese Biwa? Helen if you could take a couple more photos, sorry. But on macro again but even closer up taking photos of the ridges and any flat spots and generally blemishes it would help and also a photo of...

    Dawn's Pearls

    Hello all, I agree GemGeek the rings are the easiest to admire. But I still love the big white pearl on the pin/brooch. I only added the shell photo for the shell because of its size. I thought someone would ask who the baby was so … yes that is my mother but my dogs are far more precious...

    Vintage freshwater necklace?

    Hello Helen, Can you take better photos using your Macro setting (Flower) and if possible in daylight. Try to get them up close even if you take several photos of the necklace in sections and put them on something like white kitchen paper or something white without any gloss. They are hard to...

    Golden, Bronze, Pink Plus Pearl Ring - Opinions Wanted

    Hello Sophie, yes I found it late (actually early morning) last night. It is not the first time I have misplaced valuable pearls. I have 37 storage containers with up to 20 little drawers in each so if I pop a drawer back in the wrong place it can take me a while to locate it. Luckily I had...
