Let?s not hope that this is going to drive the global economics (not China?s) into a state of chaos and ultimately poverty for all of us!

Diadiva, welcome to the forum. You are obviously a lover of Tahitian pearls and South Seas. Some of them are really big. Fine examples of different colours and overtones. I love your dangles, especially the black/white variation. How about Freshwaters?

Pattye, I too think they are tissue nucleated but if they were bead/tissue nucleated surley you should be able to recognize it from the cost, would they not be more expensive?:eek::p

Hi Pearl Angel and may these pearls bring to you an everlasting joy each time you look at them and put them on. It is a magical moment to receive such perfect small wonders mother nature has bestowed on us through their humble servants, our mussels. Wear them with joy and pride and let them...

Hi Dan, have you checked out Rio Grande.com?

Beth, very lovely necklaces and you look gorgeous with the Lombok pearls. Thanks for the photos!

Everyone of you lucky Exotic-owners! They are stunningly beautiful in their metallic fairy tale colours!

Hi Sueki and other members and guests to this forum, it was not my intention to make you think that European sellers do carry lesser qualities, especially not the ones who are connected with PP and buy their pearls from Jeremy to sell them later on as finished jewelry. What I meant was what...

Blaire, the necklace is lovely and so is the clasp! :)

Bluesea, lovely pieces, especially the earrings as I also adore pearls in the stud and dangles combined.

I am aware of this of course but as Mervione said we do not have a real choice as our European sellers do not offer these Exotics, if they have some they are probably not the same quality as Jeremy?s and neither could we get the same low price. So altogether - I take my chances with the US...

To the VAT of 25% and the administration fees which can be a lot more than 100 SEK, you also have duty which depends on WHAT it is you buy (Gold, pearls or something else). So here I always have to be prepared to pay 30% besides the selling price from the producer/seller. Lets hope Merviones...

Restringing with Mystery clasps Restringing with Mystery clasps Margareth, you could also ask Jeremy at Pearl Paradise. Good luck. There seem to be no members on this forum who are used to work with these types of clasps, unfortunately. Hope you get an usable answer and then perhaps could...

Hi Pearl Angel and Johanna, thanks requesting me for a pearl friend. I feel honoured! I am very sorry to hear that you, Pearl Angel, are between jobs but I hope you can manage one of the Exotic strands and I truly believe this will be one of your best purchases. How I envy Blaire, who could...

Hi Sarah, if you got just a few necklaces there is no problem finding the right one. If you, on the other hand start to getting a collection of pearl jewellery it might not be too much of an effort to write down your strands in a order of numbers, colours, types and so on. I do realise that it...

Hi Caitlin, I haven?t even seen this type of clam shell yet, but the type of ring ought to be a spring ring, if your description is correct. Where have you bought it from? Firemountain, Bella Findings or Rio Grande?

Generally speaking the more valuable the pearl, the smaller the drilling holes. Take off your pearls, check the holes and take one with you that has a small hole so you can get advice for the needle that is needed and also the size of the silk, if you use silk. If you go with Power Pro (fishing...

Is it a Conch pearl?

A Happy Birthday to You AlumCreek3! Look forward to your report and hopefully pictures of the strand and a close-up of the clasp!

Hi Johanna, I did it on my own with just a lot of encouragement from Caitlin and the little book "Pearl and Bead Stringing with Henrietta" by Henrietta Virchick and which I don?t mind to recommend once in a while, since it takes up different types of stringing and lots of other useful things. So...
