Katbran unfortunately I dont have many opportunities to wear them, I always feel it is a bit of a waste wearing pearls with my crappy everyday clothes �� But I just love collecting and making jewelries especially when under stress. At least I will get a chance to wear them at the...

Hi DST as this forum doesn't allow advertising or selling, I would suggest you look up melo pearl dealers in Vietnam. I just searched "ngoc oc" and Google already showed me a melo pearl dealer website with pretty helpful information. Of course, I don't know their credibility so I cannot tell you...

Thank you so much everybody! I cannot wait to see you all too! :o Lady Disdain Thank you and don't worry about it :cool: . That part is drilled so all I did was wrapping the wire around the hole so it's pretty secured actually. I was lucky since this coral piece already has 2 drilled holes

Thank you Pearl Dreams! I'm glad that they look fine because the wire knots are pretty clumsily done ( I have weak hands lol).

It's been a while since I posted anything on PG, since I'm trying to restrain myself from buying more pearls and save up my money for the Ruckus :P Anyway, I've been making some jewelries to wear for the event, feel free to tell me what you guys think. My craftmanship is still pretty rough so I...

Hi tahitiangirl here are a few blue akoya pearls pairing ideas I'm having right now, hope it helps. I am personally struggling to decide between tahitian, edison and the quartz.

Guys I just checked Pearls by Michael vendor and it is now closed.

Such a beautiful and generous gift! The pearls look like they are in good condition too! I agree with Pearl Dreams you should have them restrung.

Wooh I was about to make 2nd purchase at his store, as I was satisfied with my last purchase. Thank you for sharing this. But how did you know pearls by Michael is Alonzo supplies?

Carve it? If you can find a pearl carver of course. The bigger the pearl the better the carved pattern

I love the clasp too! The design is great as you can wear in anyway you want!

I would assume they are freshwater too, I am really curious about their quality (although that may also have dropped as they were buried/ stored in closed containers for years). However I also hope they were saltwater pearls. Judging from the empress's taste, wealth and international influence...

Time to revise an old post! I just found an article that pretty much focus on Cixi's pearls! Check out her 3,500 natural-pearl-cape! https://marciamenter.org/2016/08/26/the-pearl-cape/

Suchi I'm glad you enjoy this tip as much as I do. I found this in Douglas's old youtube video.

Hi suchi! Your pearl collection is so gorgeous! I would suggest the water test if you want to see pearls' overtones more easily, since some pearls can be more complex than they look. Just put your pearls in a white container with clean water and the colors just pop! I find this method helpful...

Mesmerizing work! I can't get enough of the carved nucleated fw pearls!

Thank you so much for your reply! Since the spots are on the surface and some can be scrapped out, I would hope they are carve or paint residue. I will try cleaning them again and let you know, and take more close-up pictures if possible. When I first got them from the package there were more...

Hi everybody! I just got 2 beautiful carved pearls from Wen pearls and noticed that they have some white chalky spots. I really like the pearls but I hope to know what caused these spots and if there is any way to get rid of them. I tried to lightly washed and rubbed the pearls with soft cloth...

Pearl Dreams thank you for your advice, I didnt really think the color is treated when I bought it, maybe I can ask him later. I also asked him to find me stud earrings of GSSP that are similar or darker than these in his lot, and he replied he couldnt find any for stud earrings. If these are...

Hi everybody! So I found this vendor on Instagram, he just opened his shop on etsy. After carefully looked at the photos he posted, I decided that he is selling real pearls, so I bought these gssp earrings. To be honest I was really excited to receive them and really like the pearls. So my...
