    That would be wonderful! How does the faceted nucleus change the pearls? :)

    Where to Buy Custom Strand?

    Oh yes! That is the first strand I saw and loved. I have seen another one by Mikimoto without the black pearls (just gray and white) but the one from Pearl Paradise which is stunning was new to me. I love them all but even the relatively affordable one from Pearl Paradise is more than I...

    got tiaras?

    It definitely looks like something from antiquity that might have once rested on a mermaid's head or something. With a veil attached it would be wonderful for a beach themed wedding.

    Where to Buy Custom Strand?

    I am interested in commissioning a custom strand of ombre pearls that shade from gray to white and even perhaps to black or even a single black pearl. I have seen some done by Mikimoto and quite a few strands of faux but I want real pearls and the Miki ombre strands are out of my price range...

    Need help, pearl earrings for wedding outfit!

    You sound like me. Or I sound like you! I champion faux pearls (costume jewelry in general) too. I love all the photos of Jackie Kennedy wearing those famous KJLs and her children playing with them, putting them in their mouth and yanking on them. Face it if no one is wearing faux it is...

    Need help, pearl earrings for wedding outfit!

    Don't be sad! She does have faux earrings too but those particular favorites are by Annoushka -from what I read anyway. They run a little less than 2000 dollars which is pretty affordable considering her budget. I am sure she is very aware what she picks will effect the lives and businesses...

    How to wear pearl jewellery...

    While is is easy to find cheap FW pearls, I don't think that faux pearls are vulgar in anyway whatsoever. If you care about fashion and style(not everyone does I know), how something is worn is more important than what is worn. I collect costume jewelry as well as fine jewelry. I feel just...

    Metal Bead Nucleus?

    Thank you, I will take some pictures. The nuclei, I see are blackened shiny metallic looking beads -not white shell. Perhaps the shell was discolored in the dyeing process. I will get the camera out and take some photos. I had a light diffuser that I made from an old tupperware bowl but...

    value on Angela Cummings for Tiffany design pearl necklace

    The necklace is stunning. I read that you have the receipt which is great because collectors like buying one owner pieces. Is it marked Tiffany as well? No matter the cost of freshwater pearls on the open market, a piece of Tiffany jewelry is worth far more than the sum of its parts. I...

    Metal Bead Nucleus?

    I recently bought a strand of pearls on Ebay for practically nothing and I am very happy with my purchase but am intrigued by something I don't understand and was hoping to find answers here. They are a 10mm black, peacock(purple/green coloring) 28 inch strand with a 7 inch matching bracelet...
