    My first floating Tahitian pendant, and "how" I made it.

    That is a stunning pearl .. on that side I know :D Well done. It can be a real trial and often the slight difference in the drill holes meeting up at an angle isn't an issue when stringing. More so when you are trying to push something solid through - like a reamer. This is where my little...

    Plated Pearls

    They look like regular very good quality Fireballs to me. It's possible that there is some sort of clear coat. But they don't look odd to me.

    What are your favourite clasps?

    I love a good clasp ! And they are so hard to find ! The Orbit is a go to clasp. Initially I found them a bit slippery and hard to open but I might have had a very stiff one. I''m loving that little Rio Clasp. And of course Paraltje - The Daisys.... sigh So many beautiful old bejeweled...

    Identifying dyed pearls

    If they asked big money then I'd consider asking GIA for a certificate. I don't think they cost that much , when I get Hanadama certified it's like 50$ at the Japanese lab. Either way for your peace of mind and resale ( should you ever decide to sell them) it's reassuring .

    WARNING! - Edi Vichien (?) from Agustus Collection - money embezzlement!

    What a dreadful mess. Sven was great to deal with so I'm sorry he's not the owner anymore. I hope you are able to get some satisfaction. They should be able to mail now. If nothing else he should be able to get ahold of the wholesaler, he does seem to be able to send emails... But certainly...
