A few more before I work on Lily's Story. Need to list on eBay tomorrow so trying to get this done although I will try to find more time to go on with the 3rd Instalment of Lily's Story tomorrow and more photos if I have time. Sort of rushing the photos at the moment and they may be mixed up...

Hi, a few more photos for tonight. Photos of natural pearl necklaces or strands I have bought in the past. Most have these have been restrung and either listed and sold and some not sold as yet. Still a couple to be restrung. You may notice that some from these photos need cleaning and some...

Hi juliebeth, Thank you. I think they are special too, naturally and so did the lady. I do think she got a bargain though. whicker, thank you for the information about riding attire. I must look up photos of ladies dressed in riding red. As far as stick pins I think that might be a...

Hi Katbran, I live in the south-eastern part of South Australia - well east of Adelaide anyway. Just a thought in case you have problems wire working or similar. I have been mean to do a similar necklace. Just a chain with one pearl on it in the style of "add a pearl" necklaces. But if you...

Hi Paul, I just looked at the photos again and remembered that the longest necklace had at least 7mm pearls in front so the smaller necklace must have at least an 8mm pearl in the centre. None were tiny seed pearls and all a good size. I remember I didn't really want to put such a large...

Hi GemGeek, I agree about the ring. Just me being hopeful. But I will candle it. But - I found another photo of this pair of earrings. It shows the back which is kind of grundgie but I think this is protein on over mature pearls. I think they are natural river pearls of some kind...

Hi FrenchPearl, It is very hard to tell from the photos but your second to last photo makes me think they might be naturals. One of the pearls next to the large pearl in the middle looks to have a barrel shape and large drill holes. It looks to me like it has been worn down from a larger...

Hello All, thanks for your kind words about my present and past pieces. Not all naturals but a good percentage are. Pity I cannot get to keep all the things I love but that is not possible. Anyway here are some more pearls - these are naturals which I sold to a lovely Indian lady about 3...

Thank you Dave, I thought the mobility and flexibility on the steel one might be very handy for easily clearing any size box used when candling so I ended up getting both. :( I will add some photos from my camera soon and more and better ones when my first microscope arrives. Dawn - Bodecia...

Hello all, I have been attempting some candling but need to buy a USB mini microscope that is compatible for a Mac. I have found 2 and wondered what people think about these two and which would be best. URL -...

Thank you, bluelotus777 and Caitlin, Although none of mine have been certified as yet I do have a no time limit guarantee on my naturals. Natural Wonder, I do think that natural pearls are the absolute best but am totally prejudiced that way but my second preference is quality freshwater...

Hi French Pearl, They look like some kind of Chinese freshwater pearls. Don't know if they could could possibly be Japanese Biwa's. Don't have much experience with them. I think someone on the forum does though. I can't remember which thread someone posted photos of them. Probably Chinese...

Hi Jeremy, These could be a stop gap until she saves the money for the better round pearls she really wants. 60 inch top, round pearls are not going to be around $30 as these would be. I am sure they would give her the urge to get the round pearls later. Who can stop at one necklace :)...

Hi Joane, juliebeth's find is a good deal. I checked the site and they offer to customise so you could get them to make up the length you want. Really can't go wrong at that price. No need to wait while you save up. They look like good pearls especially for that price. A bargain...

Here is a photo of a natural pearl & turquoise necklace. Pearls are seed pearls and the type of naturals that are referred to as dog's tooth pearls. Next are 3 natural pearl necklaces. I just had to add them here otherwise my thread would never be complete. I love all 3 of them. I just...

Hi All, This is a pearl ring I have not yet added to my thread "Dawn's Pearls" - under "Show Us Your Pearls" - I will do so a little later if time allows. I am wondering what our experts think of it. Could it be a natural pearl. If there is a reasonable possibility I will list it to send...

A few more. These pieces are no longer mine but thought there may be interest in them. 1st - This is a Tahitian, South Sea Pearl & Diamond Bracelet which I slightly altered to a customers request. So no longer mine. 2nd - South Sea and seed pearl necklace. Sold it ages ago. 3rd - A lovely...

Hello All, A few more photos of my precious :) 1st - Tin Cup Pearl Necklace. The pearls are large app. 9 to 9.5 from memory. I do realise red it not an ideal background for them but these photos were taken years ago. 2nd - An Art Deco Pendant with South Sea Pearl and the diamonds of...

Isi, you should be able to copy the photos and add them here. It is an auction after all and no one will mind. Love to see them. Dawn - Bodecia http://www.ebay.com/sch/dawncee333/m.html eBay Seller ID dawncee333 Natural pearl collector & seller. And all round pearl lover.

Hi bluelotus777, The fraud was with new pearls not antique naturals and the price asked for them was extremely high. So don't worry you won't come across them on eBay or any other site that I can think of. They would also be very, very expensive so doubt you would be offered them. I have no...
