Raisondetre, I really like the colors in your pearl bracelet. What does "lustre enhanced" mean how can you tell? I have been looking at that ebay site, tempted to buy a similar item. Do you think they are all enhanced? Now I am wary...

Cool ring. I need to go to thrift shops more often. My friend got an antique pin with real seed pearls for one dollar at a church bazaar. I am never that lucky.

Here is the picture of the FWN pearls that I was wearing when the necklace was recognized as a PP pearl necklace.

After the plane took off, I walked to the back of the plane and he grabbed my arm and pulled me behind the curtain to talk. His partner was also a steward on the plane and he showed him all of my pearls while he told me of how he knew what I was wearing. He had reseached pearls on the internet...

I don't know where to put this amusing story but since it is about PP FWN pearls I bought, it seems only fitting to post it here. I live in CT. but am relocating to AZ (Caitlin country) in the next few weeks. I had to travel there several weeks ago and when I travel, I always wear all of my...

All of your strands are beautiful! They look very good on your neck- right size,color, shape. Do you every wear more than one strand at a time? I think that would look rich!

Very pretty, even with all of the imperfections. Shiny, like ballbearings! I am still holding out for the most unusual akoyas...

What a rich family history. I missed this series of posts for some reason because I have been a lurker for more than a year before I joined the forum. I do know of the deceit you speak of. I guess it all worked out for the best because we got to see and hear a great story. Thanks Caitlin for...

Valeria101, So true! That PP necklace is a museum piece. It should be seen by all who could appreciate the true natural beauty of each and every pearl on that strand. I bet it is a neck breaker!!!

That necklace is amazing. I love the simple elegence of the linear style. Can you imagine what 250k could buy from one of our respected forum vendors? Mmmm.....

Beautiful earrings! I love dangles, it is like art in motion. What is the size of those pearls?

If those where my pearls, I would wear them just the same way. I like to wear multiple strands when I go to "functions". i.e. Dinner, movie,no kids!

Thanks Boo, I see them sometime on Ebay and I am tempted to buy a strand but I was never quite sure what they were. I assume they are not that rare coz the strands I find are usually less than $100. They also seem to have some good color saturation in some of the strands I find on Ebay. I really...

Valeria101, I don't wear rings, but I really like the one you posted . Maybe it is the addition of that pear-shaped diamond, though after the article that Caitlin posted about the Diamond Industry, I now know the pearl is worth more than the diamond. (whew..what a run on). I don't have a pearl...

I wish I was that creative and knew how to bead. Very nice layering, I like to do that myself when I wear my pearls. I noticed your one Ebay vendor has drusy pearls. What are those exactly? I know about drusy(druzy) stones but not about drusy pearls.

It is nice to see a man not afraid to wear strands of pearls. I wonder when they came up missing from the family jewels? How long would it tkae to come up with a strand like this, considering it is all natural.

For that kind of dough, I'd rather have a pearl necklace! or two..

I am always amazed at what I see and read here. Beautiful pearls, by the way. I feel I am privy to " The Secret Life of Pearls".

Jeremy, How was the lustre of those large pearls? Where they worth the asking price? Maybe someday when I win the lottery.......

Smetzler, What an amazing concept. Yours or a joint venture with others? Just curious. Ingykiz
