    My Tahitians

    My Tahitians

    Thank you Pearl Dreams. There are many vendors who I am sure know exactly what they are selling, but marketing them still as turquoise. https://pearls.com/collections/galatea-1

    Hello New Member here

    Welcome PaulaPaints. Love your pearls, I have also found the camera is easily tricked by pearls. Sometimes they appear darker or more colorful in a photo, than they do in person. Diffused early morning or late evening light seems to bring them to their full splendor.

    I agree, if they stay in place, most don't. This was a older look from the late 1990's early 2000.

    What did the poor pearls do to deserve this?

    Jesskat, Pearl Parties are selling them on facebook and getting between $10-$25 a piece for those dyed garbage pearls. It's not until they try to sell them do they figure out they have been had. Very sad state of affairs. A sucker born every day on facebook pearl parties.

    Researching loose Tahitian Pearls

    I haven't seen the pearls in person but know someone who bought their Tahitian pearls in the shell to open at home. The pearls were horrible and the seller wouldn't take the rest back when she complained. She was out $500.00. I personally wouldn't buy unless you are at their store and look at...

    2nd knotting - kojima bracelet

    Suchi, I haven't had that problem since I switched to beaders secret. If you find you do on other pearls you may want to switch to the #40 weight of Beaders secret instead of the #30. It comes in some of the colors that #30 does. The colors with the star next to them come in #40
