I have had them turn chalky from over processing. Very disappointing.

Interesting. I hope you didn't pay a lot for them. Good door stops or book ends I guess.

There are no knots showing in the whole strand. Ask to see the drill holes. I think it's imitation too.

Love this necklace Cathy. I like you added your engagement diamond to the piece. I can't wait to see it in person,

I'm not surprised by this. There are many sellers out there calling large FWP Edison's. When you ask if they have ever done a smash test to prove their vendor is really selling them Edison's they say NO.

The stringing job was not done by Mikimoto. I hope you didn't spend a lot on them for the name. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mikimoto-18-A1-Akoya-6-3-6-5mm-Pink-Cast-Pearl-Strand-Necklace-18K-Gold-Clasp/352068973083?hash=item51f8f2321b:g:DPkAAOSwK6RZJznX:rk:17:pf:0

SoCalSteve, The Pearl Paradise AAA dyed freshwater pearls are custom dyed with very high quality freshwater pearls that were selected just for this process. That is why they are so colorful. I asked when I was looking at them. They are very different than the PP dyed akoyas which are coal...

I agree, any bench jeweler can extend the post on the earrings. They can also be soaked off and put into dangle styles, I wear these a lot.

Very nice... It looks great on the neck too.

Drzappa, You are wise to ask before buying Hanadama pearls. Certificates can be cloned or created and some buyers have been taken advantage of by unscrupulous sellers. There are are threads on this forum talking about this problem, and Jeremy discussed it when Newberry had her birthday party...

Snow White, Were they going to replace them with antique seed pearls? You don't say how many are in your piece but I would be inclined to look for a piece on the secondary market that has enough of the seed pearls to harvest to replace them all. It may be cheaper than having your jeweler find...

How nice you have Grandma's pearls. Enjoy wearing them and there should be no need to insure them. You should be able to find like pearls on ebay to determine your price.

As long as your piercing works with these findings. The ear in the photo barely fits. I have many dangles with this type of finding. None fit that snug.

There are a lot of dyed mabe on the market, finding a real Tahitian would be remarkable.

How beautiful. I can't wait to see her wearing them. Happy Anniversary.

There could be several reasons. His patent may say they are using gemstones and after finding out gems can't be used ........ Or he figured he'd never get caught and went with what it looked like. You saw him in the video state they were Turquoise, that was not a mistatement on his part.

Perfect size pearls and they look so beautiful on your neck. I'm glad everything worked out great.
