    Baby south sea or freshwater or fake. chinese akoyas?

    The pearls have arrived. I can send the necklace back, untill middle august I guess, for a full refund. The pearls measure from almost 8mm to a little bit over 8mm at the front. The clasp is marked 18k 750, and I have already tested. 18 inches total. Interestingly it came with a certificate...

    Akita dismantled jewelry

    Just to complement, I tested the small ring at the extremity of the strand 2 and it is made of 18k white gold. So I guess it really was a necklace.

    Akita dismantled jewelry

    Hello everyone, besides that tahitian vietnamese necklace other seller is offering these pearls from dismantled jewelry. He probably sold the claps for gold weight and now is selling the remaining strands. One is 10mm, says he, and the other is 7mm the more cream colored. Is it anything good...

    Baby south sea or freshwater or fake. chinese akoyas?

    So I've followed your opinion and bought the necklace. The total cost with shipping was around 170. If I have to return it I will loose nothing. It hasn't arrived yet but I asked for more pictures and the seller sent me. What do you think? It looks pretty right? It is not from Thailand but from...

    Baby south sea or freshwater or fake. chinese akoyas?

    Hello Douglas and KarinK, thank you for your advices. Sorry for taking so long to answer. I gave up on the second necklace but still in doubt about the first. Do you all really think it's tahitian south sea? Now the price is 150 USD that's good right? Should I buy it?

    Best color gemstones to complement pearls

    Hello Pattye, Lisa c, BWaves and Linda.wald, Thank you all. I really liked the idea of the removable or enhancer bail. This way I won't need to send the chain to the jeweler. She wears the longer necklaces over the blouse, but the shorter I think it will be over the skin because it is a very...

    Drop earrings and pendant, gray

    Thank you Parfaitelumiere. I am quite sure this set wasn't made in Asia, not even for the asian market, as it was made from a local jeweler not relevant internationally, but very important here. If they were freshwater, wouldn't they be dyed? And if dyed the inside shouldn't be white? And...

    Drop earrings and pendant, gray

    Charlotta, thank you, yes they are in the back, not visible in the daylight and in just one of the pearls. But these are quite big earrings and I don't think she will wear it in daytime haha. The other one the back part isn't smooth, with small craters so both have problems. At least the front...

    Drop earrings and pendant, gray

    Sorry to add another post but I was examining one of the earrings and I got very scared. In the part of the back the pearl has a lot of white stains, blemishes. Is it possible to be fake pearls? They look and feel real, cold to the touch and gritty when rubbed against each other and with a nice...

    Hello CortezPearls, sorry I didn't thanked you sooner for the prices and explanation, I just now noticed your answer because it appeared like it was a post be me, some bug, haha, and sort of out of order.
