Katbran isn't acetone gonna affect the pearl's quality?

Jeremy you are right, most of the fwp in Vietnam are from China. But the Vietnamese farmers are working on it, and the local governors are interested in investing in the pearl industry too. It's just that both pearl farmers and pearl consumers are not very well-informed about the pearl industry...

I found an article about this man in Vietnam who has been farming freshwater pearls since 2012/2013?. I guess one person doesn't really count much, but I think there are some FWP farmers in Vietnam who still trying to get their feet in the market...

Ericw, yes that is imperial topaz, I just put it in there to see how the combination with yellow-orange stones would look. the rest of the stones are fluorite, citrine, emerald, amethyst and garnet. To be honest I'm just doing this for fun, I still prefer the clear quartz/citrine/fluorite...

Thank you Morella! I think I may use this as my laptop wallpaper, but not poster. This is just for fun lol I just saw the Avengers and couldn't help it. :p

As a Vietnamese, I am sad to have to agree with the fact that our country's pearl market is flooded with Chinese freshwater pearls. There are many Vietnamese articles about this problem too. But I am surprised that even pearl-dedicated shops are flooded with CFWP too. Can I ask you how you can...

Ericw, that's citrine tooth is so pretty! Luckily there's a place in my town that sells rough citrine and amethyst, so finding a drilled amethyst or citrine for me is not a problem. unfortunately they don't sell pricier stones like fluorite or garnet, so I have to look up online for vendors...

Morella and Ericw thank you so much for giving me so many great ideas! I'm really tempted to pair my pearls with blue-green flourite, ametrine, citrine or moonstone. I can easily buy amethyst and citrine, but at the moment I havent found a good source for ametrine and flourite yet. I'm also...

Luvglitz that's beautiful pearls you bought! I found it was strange that you had so little time for shopping, because that is when the tour guide gain extra money from bringing customers to shops.

I forgot to check this thread for a while. Did you receive your Tahitian + tourmaline eartings yet morella? I hope to see a photo of them too!

Hi ericw! Unfortunately, I haven't found new stones yet because I didn't really have time :( I really like your idea of pairing it with gold nugget! The shades really compliment each other. Also, the SoC looks pretty good with golden south sea. Maybe I can substitute the stones with baroque...

BRaves and SunSeeker, thank you for verifying. I didn't really understand the terms oops. In my country we just called old things, well, "old" (it sounds a bit fancier in Vietnam tho)

BWeaves, thank you for the great information! I didn't pay enough attention lol

Btw pearl paradise is having 30% off hanadama sale

Pearlseeker1 I can understand your preference for color, but white pearls have different overtones too which might affect you. Do you prefer silver, pink, or cream overtone? Do you want metallic pearls or just high luster? Have you checked out the blue akoya? They pretty cool too but I dont know...

Just wonder, so Kojima has sale days? How I can find out about that? Is April 29 gonna be a big sale day?

Nooo I found this great item from Pearl Society but I was out-bidded in the last minute! I lost when I was brushing teeth and preparing my bed to sleep! This hurt so much!!!

Btw I heard that antique pearls tend to have thicker nacre? Is that worth mentioning?

As the pearls are in decent size and quality, but the settings are sterling silver and the fact that it is pre owned I'd think the earrings may worth around $50?

CrazyMissy I think the Queen was wearing white pearls, it's just the lighting that make them look colorful. As the British royalty has pretty strict rules for fashion, I doubt that she would wear colorful pearls for that occasion.
