    Do Golden South Sea pearls have overtones?

    Gidday Artpearl It's raining this morning, that's why I'm not cleaning and X-raying. You ask about AA+. I do not like this method on the basis every pearl has at least one A attached to it. This is "My Standard". Gem grade. Absolutely flawless, Drop dead Gorgeous. A grade. If Round can have...

    Do Golden South Sea pearls have overtones?

    A very good point Jeremy My previous yarn was more focused on the Gold as opposed to the very much higher number of yellows (Champagne). If you are prepared to ship several strands to a vetted potential customer then all power to you. That is the type of customer front the Pearl industry needs...

    Do Golden South Sea pearls have overtones?

We had one in last years harvest with green overtones and only occasionally we see the to die for "pink" ( think rose gold) quite rare to my knowledge.

The deep gold on very barouqe pearls wasn't far off actually being gawdy. It was so nearly too much to look at. Totally...

    This isn't deep gold, is it?

    Very nice pearls Syd. As discussed by others, pearl sales by photo is a very difficult way of doing business. Especially when you desire a specific shade. As PearlDreams pointed out "their is no standardised grading system" either. Even though our Farm is dependent on internet sales, I...

    Thanks for the pic's Mary and welcome to the Pearl Guide. I agree the bottom row is to crammed but hey if she likes it, good on her. I doubt she'd be wearing gear like that if she married an aussie bloke.
