Could they be melos? Sure would be nice to get more details!

So funny! GemG I was wondering what color those pinky golds were called. Too pink to be champagne. I have not seen just that color before. South Sea pearls are more interesting than I first thought they were 10 years ago. I used to think,"large, but dull". I know better now.

I love those coffee snorters! Thanks Nora! Still, Chi Huynh has amazed me once again!

Welcome! I doubt that one is still available. He has not been over here for a long time, but please feel free to use his contact information to reach him directly.

Maybe Dave will see this post. Meanwhile however, I think that gold layer is made out of the proteins that are part of the construction of the shell. It is called "conchilion" (sp) It binds the tiny platlets of calcium carbonate in layers and the layers intertwined together cause the pearly...

And that should solve the mystery, too. When it used to come to my attention that an attachment needed moderation, I always wondered why, because I knew that attachments weren't moderated and said that even when people said they couldn't see an attachment- Now I hope we will get a lot more...

I can't compare because I have never been to PS. I am kind of disappointed that PS swooped in later, and took over the showing of photos from nowhere, when there was already a great place, here, to do so! I am really sorry people like BAS feel more comfortable putting up photos over there...

A pick-a-pearl seller? What will happen after becoming Kamoka-ized? eco-pick-a-pearl-Tahitians? Wouldn't that be cool!

I found the thread with Jeremy's pearl. https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2833&highlight=jeremy%27s+abalone+horn

That is quite a beautiful abalone horn! The shape is great. There is no brown stuff- it is 100% colorful. The surface is perfect. Even with dmj's suggestion not to drill it to keep maximum value, I think such a perfect piece only needs a hole big enough for a piece of leather. This pearl needs...

Wow. You have a very unusual find! I didn't even know they were still finding pearls in the Red Sea. Please tell us more. Did you collect these over time or are they all from one series of dives? Did you dive or did you buy them? If so where were you when you bought them? Red Sea pearls are...

I hope you do come to Tucson! Guaymas is a straight drop south of here, directly south about 6-7 hours in a car or bus. Guaymas is in a trade zone, so you do not need special Mexican car insurance, only a passport, to get back in.They also have an airport. (Last time I went to Nogey (Tucson...

Hi rivermandave Thanks for posting! Your photos and info are very welcome here where they permanently add so much to our pearl educations! You are allowed to put your ebay store's url in your signature so we can click thru. It would be under "my profile" at the top of the page. Natural American...

Kathy, No apologies- It was my reaction to others going to Guaymas without ME! Then it turned out it wasn't a new thread. Now that I know I am going to get envious, wistful? if anyone else ever goes there- I can see that was a ridiculous reaction and I am over it- I hope there is a new trip and...

tucs! Thanks for the coffee snort! Been a long time since one of those, lol. I even read it to my husband and got a laugh. Hope I am not taking this thread too far astray, but.......As far as pearls on tv characters go- I just watched the pilot of "How to get away with murder" (I know, I am way...

That is an exquisite pearl! What are the measurements? It looks rather large. Nothing like a pearl stuck to a shell to prove provenance!

Hi and thanks some more! Yes, you seem to have some fans here. We will love to read any pearl stories- though we love those photos too. The magazine shoot is great- maybe someone can dig up a copy of it. PG means Persian Gulf in this case though sometimes we call Pearl-Guide.com P-G. I visited...

I am pleased to see you overcoming your reluctance to become an international pearl traveler! I thought you went to the Jewelmer Gala - and was disappointed you hadn't gone --- but Kamoka is even better! Good luck, and may your next decade be full of pearl travels. ;)
