Thanks Andrea. I take you are not doing much on New Year's Eve either or is it too early. More soon. Dawn - Bodecia http://www.ebay.com/sch/dawncee333/m.html eBay Seller ID dawncee333 Natural pearl collector & seller. And all round pearl lover.

Next one. Number 2 - Another Gulf Pearl. 1 carat app. 6.12mm x 5.86mm drilled. Not sure if the photos have gone through correctly.

Hi all and Happy New Year with loads of pearls in it :) I finally got my microscope working correctly and have started taking candling photos with it. Have a few now so will add them. This has been my New Year's Eve work. All day and finally around 5.30 p.m. it worked. I am still at it...

Hello and welcome Andrew. Can you take a photo of the pearl close up as possible from all directions on white kitchen paper if possible and white cotton if not. Needs this to have a good look at it. Just crop. Most of the experts will come online when later. Hopefully someone will be...

Love that necklace too. It has given me even more ideas for my Bella Epoque necklace. Loads of idea swirling through my brain. Do give us all the photos you took. That is what it is all about, photos for us to drool over. Dawn - Bodecia http://www.ebay.com/sch/dawncee333/m.html eBay...

Hi Paul, It does Paul, small connection rings at the top. And me being me went overboard in buying other pieces from the same era to possibly use although I don't have any long pieces. But I do have or will have when they arrive the necklace and pair of earrings as photos attached. Will also...

Okay, I failed in my quest. But at least I have them ready to go and like the design I showed you. Looks like you are the winner Caitlin. :) Did you knot between all pearls? When I work on the torsade I am wondering if all will need knotting. What a job. For years I have been thinking...

Meant to say "don't try to tamper with oysters" - duhh Dawn - Bodecia http://www.ebay.com/sch/dawncee333/m.html eBay Seller ID dawncee333 Natural pearl collector & seller. And all round pearl lover.

Surely they open the oysters and try to tamper with them. How could anyone ever know even if x-rayed. Must admit I was thinking wild oysters but still seems weird to me. Dave are you out in the wild yet? Dawn - Bodecia http://www.ebay.com/sch/dawncee333/m.html eBay Seller ID dawncee333...

Natural bluelotus777, Natural. :) Dawn - Bodecia http://www.ebay.com/sch/dawncee333/m.html eBay Seller ID dawncee333 Natural pearl collector & seller. And all round pearl lover.

Caitlin, I like the idea of tin cup with small pearls and then the larger pearls. Should look great. Why don't you make the gold/yellow naturals into a double bracelet. There are sure to be enough if you are knotting and you always do. :) If you do that you can continue to procrastinate...

Just looking at really good photos will give us an idea and I for one cannot wait. Guess we all have to but it is not easy. Good site Paul. But those prices hurt. Dawn - Bodecia http://www.ebay.com/sch/dawncee333/m.html eBay Seller ID dawncee333 Natural pearl collector & seller. And all...

Okay made a start on the Bello Epoque necklace. Still having problems with my camera but think that will get better now that I have removed all the lenses. No wonder I couldn't focus. These aren't perfect but getting better. Photo of how I have designed the necklace so do let me know what...

That is good info Bernadette and Wendy. I took the 2 pearls out of the freezer today. They spent about 14 hours frozen and were okay. No damage done. I cannot speak for non nacreous pearls. Although I have some they are on a brooch and possibly one in a ring. Need to check the ring out...

Can you tell us exactly what type of oyster or mussel you were eating and also the size of the pearl. Plus please take close up photos of it on white kitchen paper. That will help a lot. We have just been talking about possible damage done to pearls cooked or frozen so great photos and more...

Has to be Coral as they have those lines. Those line are something to look for if buying coral. Dawn - Bodecia http://www.ebay.com/sch/dawncee333/m.html eBay Seller ID dawncee333 Natural pearl collector & seller. And all round pearl lover.

For sure they are fake pearls. As for it disappearing an eBayer probably reported the seller for incorrectly listing items. Other possibility is that it was a stolen photo and the seller you contacted had to contact the actual seller for more photographs. Sounds like he was just a rip off...

Hello Pipypupy, I don't know myself but I am sure the experts will know so just bring bounce your thread back if it disappears and someone with the complete knowledge will answer you eventually. I suppose they are all very busy at this time of year. Good on you for you eco friendly ways. Dawn...

Hi, I put a well worn 5mm natural Gulf pearl in the freezer and forgot about it so it was in there for about 2 hours. It seems fine. I might pop it back in and leave it overnight to be absolutely sure. So it looks like we are safe to put them in the freezer to help removing gold stuck in...

Can't wait Dave. Lucky you. Mussel heaven. Photos from you are always interesting. That is an understatement. Are you going to make some jewellery up too? Way to hot here to do any candling at the moment :( Dawn - Bodecia http://www.ebay.com/sch/dawncee333/m.html eBay Seller ID dawncee333...
