Oh, my god Valeria, I just fell in love with that star Montana Sapphire! Do you own it or was is just something you saw online and liked? The pearl jewelry I really like are mabes that are turned into things. The Philadelphia Inquirer once did a piece on a man who made brooches and pendants...

I bought one of the first golden baroque strands offered online by PP and I love it. Mine looks round from a distance, not unless you are infringing on personal space boundaries do you notice it's not round if I'm wearing it. In the box you can see some pearls are more drop or oblong then...

A pearl strand I bought had a sterling clasp (btw the easiest to use pearl clasp ever and if it's not patented, Jeremy, you should look into it in gold) and it came with this 1inch x 1inch piece of black paper labeled "anti-tarnish strip do not remove" and labeled 3M. Shortly after, any good...

The 1940s saw the rise of rose gold as platinum (very popular in the 20s & 30s) and it's less pricey alternative white-gold became scarce as they or their components went into the war effort (platinum is in catalytic convertors, which is why they are so darn expensive to replace, and if you read...

Ok Valeria, underwear comment henceforth deleted from my vocabulary, if only I could delete it from my mind :p I write (not that I'm published, but I attempt to write my novel every night) so mental images tend to stick with me. Caitlin, if the pearls look dry, I've heard near constant...

So what happened with the blue akoyas? I get the specials emails from PP and never saw a thing. Are they still pending or were they only offered to those here while I was still lurking?

Seller is willing to have the restrung as they looked loose in the pics. As for the pearls, do you think they need to be cleaned? If so, how? I once heard this totally gross quote on a news story about stores selling miki's w/o a license claiming they were new and the reporter insisted they...

This time the PM seemed to work so, Caitlin, the link is waiting for you. I did ask the seller for a hold until I get a group opinion. I like them, but I don't want to make a mistake and buy "junk" pearls or early cultured pearls.

Caitlin I jsut tried to PM you, but it said you exceeded your quota and have to clear space to receive any more.

These pics are not making life easy. I cropped them, but it cut some stuff out. Here are some of the larger pearls shown as pearl 2. Clasps is 2/3 of the clasp and the smallest, least round pearls.

I emailed and private messaged you both a link. The Word file was just too large no matter what I did. Thanks for your help.

Ok, I found a print screen works to save the pictures into word and get around the lock, but it's too big a file to attach. I don't have a hold, beyond asking about lay a way, so I can't post a link. Let me keep fiddling and see what I get.

I've done antique jewelry for awhile and came across a strand of antique pearls circa 1910. The seller lists them as A quality with some surface blemishes, 2.5mm-6.5mm, cream to silver in color and baroque to off-round in shape. Overtones are aubergine, pink and green. Clasp is sliver over...

like candy! like candy! Hi all. I've lurked for awhile, but just joined. I got two of these strands one in the prettiest petal pink and one in the loveliet lavender. I am amazed at the color, luster and feel of these pearls. They make me think of candy every time I look at them I have to...
