    What naturals are pink?

    Hi All, Does anyone know what these pearls are, particularly the pink pearl. They do appear to be little naturals around 4 to 5mm in size but I don't have the exact sizes, yet. The pink pearl intrigues me. It is adorable :) Dawn - Bodecia http://www.ebay.com/sch/dawncee333/m.html eBay...

    Candled Natural Pearls

    Hello CharmedOne, I don't think the photos are definitive enough but in my opinion it does look like a natural pearl. Can you candle it from the side? That might give us a better view. But it looks hopeful. Is the back open? It will make a great pendant. You could try bending the gold...

    My Natural Pearl Collection

    Hi again, just remembered you gave the URL to so called Mississippi pearls but just because that seller called them that doesn't necessarily make it so. An expert on Mississippi pearls is needed for that. The only ones that shape I have seen have all been set in silver and often silver of a...

    Candled Natural Pearls

    Hi All, Yes it could be GemGeek but the first photo is of the same pearl and it doesn't show that. Confusion reigns !!! I am adding some photos of that bracelet that I put up a photo of in Dawn's Pearls. The larger pearls are cultured Akoya from the look of it. What I don't understand is...

    Ah whicker, I am so sorry for you. Was he ill i.e. health problems? Just ignore if you want. Computers do store passwords but the user (your husband) would have had to okay them in places. I feel so bad for you. Wendy you are so right. Barry would be so lost if I died suddenly. I...

    Candled Natural Pearls

    I chose a cultured pearl necklace a few days ago. One I have listed as cultured but the results from it seem as if it might be mixed. I will add them here but it is just confusing me so not a good exemplar. I will choose a cheap Akoya necklace or pearls for a clearer comparison but don't have...

    In outlying areas there can be severe problems with receiving even when one is on a satellite setup like wifi. Recently I had these problems and had to wait for ages to receive better equipment. After that my business email account was hacked and I did not receive emails for a week. I...

    Candled Natural Pearls

    Thank you so much Dave and Sophie, I did believe those two rings had natural pearls but we all like confirmation of what we are seeing when learning. Dave the over mature pearl is the one I want to get peeled one day. It is beautiful but does need it as apart from a little peeling it also has...

    Are these River Pearls???? Opinions Please

    Hi All, What is the opinion on these freshwater pearls. Are they River Pearls? They look like it to me but freshwater naturals are not my forte although I knew, just knew, that Andrea aka madsciencechic's big whites had to be naturals. So maybe my eye is coming into recognising river pearls...

    My Natural Pearl Collection

    Hi Andrea, it is the shape and also the lustre. I just don't think that type of pearl is a River Tay. Tay pearls are special and I am afraid the ones I had in that strange shape and yours just aren't very special. No worries though you have plenty that are very special :) I am enjoying...

    Are these real Mikimotos?

    They look all wrong to me. I checked the site and the completed listings and found more things I find suspicious. Some of them finished because of errors ? There is also a pair of Mikimoto synthetic Alexandrite earrings ??? I am not up with Mikimoto but do they sell other gems. Would they...

    My Natural Pearl Collection

    Hi Andrea, You do have some lovely pieces but my favourite is the pearl necklace with the huge pearls. Love the flower pearl with Sapphire brooch/pendant too. When wearing as a pendant you could also use the brooch attachment for safety and that might help it from pricking you. Love it...

    Candled Natural Pearls

    Hi Dave and All, I am hoping you can "read" my candling photos for me. These are photos of two rings I have. I know the photos are not perfect but at the time I only had my camera to use. I bought 2 USB microscopes and one has arrived but not with a readable CD - one of those tiny ones...
