    Help clueless boyfriend select necklace length (and pearl size) for tall girlfriend

    My only suggestion would to be to ask for close ups of the baroque strand to see how noticeable the possible flaws are.. it's hard to tell if I'm seeing flaws or it's the light/ reflections . Obviously the lustre is higher on the left but the right appear to be very pretty. Just get a close up.

    Blockchain authenticity of Pearls

    I can see that this would be useful for the more expensive pearls that gain value from their origin. I get so tired of every seller saying their White South Sea are Australian... but can't back it up.

    Pearl drill size vs post size

    Thats probably a .7mm post which is quite common. Larger backs will sometimes have .8 or even .9mm posts for the 10-12+mm pearls. You don't want much of a gap so I'd err on the side of caution and have it drilled at .7 as you can always make it a bit bigger with a bead reamer... very...

    Mikimoto pearls white gold clasp??

    Wow that's interesting. I thought that was a Miki M logo but the S was confusing as most would say 925 . It's a confusing combination for the clasp. So I did find this info.. "All Mikimoto jewellery is marked either with Mikimoto or the trade mark M in an Akoya oyster shell and either a...

    What glue to use on pearl earring post

    Rice idea is good Pattye ! I also mark the face and the cup so I know exactly where they need to line up. Double sided tape can hold the pearl still. Sarah - that clamp is interesting... never seen that before ! Wendy - Welcome home !!

    What glue to use on pearl earring post

    I know Devcon 2T is meant to be very good as Lloyd mentioned. Either is fine I think, I used Acrylic pliers and hold the post and push down firmly for about a minute after glueing. I have drilled holes in a short 2x4 that the pearls can sit in, peg down, after I'm sure they aren't moving.
