    Color graduated Vietnamese Akoya pearls-a possibility?

    Oh god, sorry, but I came across these on Overstock (I like seeing modeling pics) and I nearly died laughing. Epic fail.

    Color graduated Vietnamese Akoya pearls-a possibility?

    Wow, the pink is lovely! I'd love to see a strand of pink graduated freshwaters- what a fun strand! I'd personally prefer them as a 18" - 20" though, even if you couldn't see all of the colors. Besides, if they were a smaller sized pearl, couldn't you fit more in each of the color ranges? A...

    My Paradise Order!

    Nerida, That's what I keep telling myself. They all think I'm crazy now, but in 10 years, I'll be much better off. My mother habitually tanned when she was younger, and she constantly reminds me to reapply sunscreen. In the photos, I'm actually a bit sunburned! I went on vacation, and despite...

    My Paradise Order!

    Yes, well, my friends don't seem to agree. I'm always referred to as "the pale one." Eh, whatever. I feel like a glamorous oil painting come to life whenever I wear my pearls! I can't decide on a strand of 6-7mm white freshadamas 16".... I need a nice "goes with everything" necklace. I think...

    octopus bale

    I love those! I think I'll have to add it to my wishlist, but I prefer the smaller octupus to the larger one. I think the second is a little overpowering to the actual pearl (although, this could be used to offset the appearnce of a lesser quality pearl). Adorable!

    My Paradise Order!

    ^ I know!! Le sigh. It's too pretty! I think I'll wait and think about it for a while. I'm a (v. v. broke) student, so I don't have a huge budget to work with, otherwise I'd be all over it!! The problem is that it's feasible, but more than I'd like to spend. Plus, I'm more prone to spend my...

    My Paradise Order!

    Thanks everyone for the nice comments! Now I can't decide what to get from PP next! I'm debating between a strand of Freshadamas (white 6mm-7mm for everyday wear), or this. Heidi, my GSS is 11-12mm... It's the perfect size, imo.

    My Paradise Order!

    I just got this from Pearl Paradise and I love it! I was trying to expand my pendant collection and this was too tempting to pass up! (10-11mm Golden SS) I'll change out the cord for a proper chain as soon as I get a chance. Another necklace I recently got:

    Did I get a great eBay buy?

    Jerin, It was actually my mistake, I rechecked the auction and it wasn't listed as Akoya. I looked at several auctions from the seller and I forgot the exact BIN that I pressed :rolleyes: http://myworld.ebay.com/tuyen/ I believe it was shipped from FL to SC, but I'll check.

    Did I get a great eBay buy?

    Caitlin, It's even more beautiful in person... The color is stunning! I'm impressed with the seller- tuyen -the price was perfect, the shipping was super fast (1 day), and I love the pearl! Now I just have to buy a gold chain and I'm done.

    Did I get a great eBay buy?

    Thank you for the quick replies! I paid about $20 give or take including shipping, but it's perfect because I'm considering a 14mm South Sea pendant from Pearl Paradise. I just wanted to get a cheap pendant so I can make sure I LOVE this style before spending a considerable amount (I'm a broke...

    Did I get a great eBay buy?

    Hi guys, I'm a long time lurker, and before I joined the forum I bought this pendant from an ebay seller. It's supposed to be a 8.5x10mm Akoya pendant AAA grade, but I just wanted to see if it was actually authentic. If not, it was pretty cheap, so it won't be a huge deal :p I took a bunch of...
