Cathy, Today it's a nice overcast day with good light for pictures... and green color is still not showing well. Golds are ok, green is elusive... same clasp but bigger and in vermeil showing bracelet attached to necklace to make longer necklace. same petal pearls two white bracelets (I...

LoL, Pattye... you got it!! This is exactly why I used those silver clasps..to link all necklaces together in a rope!! You think like me... (closeup is coming soon)

I re-strung my little metallic. 6.5-8mm, round and close to round. Pictures did not capture the green/purple color of one of the strands. Any suggestion how to take pictures to show the "greenness" of the color?? Luster also did not come as sharp as it is and I refuse to photoshop my...

nice combo.. Those Akoyas are complemented rather nicely by the sunstone....... I still did not decide what I'll do with my strand, but my way of thinking was similar.. I took out pale gold FW with metallic luster that I stashed away some time ago and tried to mix them with sunstone and...

LoL... By Canadian standards 2-300 years is VERY old, 400 Years =prehistoric.... ( I come from Europe too.....)

Isabelle: Yes, your perfect French will help.. LoL.. This is the store (picture 23): http://www.malloryartandphotography.com/11-heritage-buildings.html# Jeremy: No website, no email.. She admitted they are in dark ages.. like building they are in.. I asked twice for her email so I could send...

Thank you all for confirming what I suspected. I asked her her email address and offered to send fer some articles showing where I got my "wisdom" from. She declined giving it to me... It's pity. She seamed really love pearls.. Well, you can not force knowledge onto anybody. Problem is that...

LoL..... No.. I remember Zeide... The Quebec store woman really believed what she was "teaching me" about. Her information comes from people who she is buying the pearls from. She did not think that info gathered from the seller should by verified by checking independent sources. What is...

Thanks Pattye. I thought that black color can be achieved by irradiation too, not only by tinting pearls. I learned something new...

are you sure they are not fake pearls ????

I thought so... This forum was the first place where I started learning about pearls. My knowledge gathered here was confirmed and expanded by my other readings. I don't consider myself an expert, but I think I know a lot.... What about my question number 3.. I really would like to know...

Last weekend I was in Quebec City. There is a store there that sells nothing but pearls. Since there was no clients in the store I chatted with the owner for quite some time. We got into few arguments, but since she is an expert with 20 years of dealing pearls experience and I'm a newbie playing...

my kind of pearls !! love them !! Congratulation on great purchase..

Adeline, I admire so much the intricacy of your work and your feel for the color and the nuances of it. Love the choice of beads that you add to the main pearl... every time it's just right !!

Karin- definitely last Kasumi is for a ring - I have to find a right setting..Pink gold maybe.... Hmmmmmmm Caitlin- glad to hear that I misunderstood your remarque....I couldn't understand why you didn't like those pearls from Sarah... you don't have to like how I set them - this is very...

Thanks Caitlin for your opinion. I found it interesting. I wanted to show my gratitude to those who donated the pearls and I truly enjoyed making those earrings and pendants out of pearls donated by Sarah and Pattye. I also intend to wear them proudly. You are very perceptive. Those pearls do...

Hi everybody, I wanted to show you what I was able to do till now with pearls I got. Findings are silver for Akoya studs and for pendants and vermeil from Bella for Kasumi pearls earrings. Pendants have peridot in-between ... I love my new pearls !!! Thank you again !!

funny... I did not like any of those strands. Shows you how little I know about Akoya ............ Big strand looked over processed to me ( maybe because it was shot close to the small strand ) and I did not like the pink in it. Looked artificial to me. Also, skin was not clean, so I did not...

Thanks. Now I'm more sure of my first impression (which soon, you will prove is wrong...LoL... ). Bigger pearls seams to be better quality, none of the strands is top quality. Bigger one is pinked but it adds to it's "good looks". I don't want any of them and I'm thinking seriously that I...

Hi, I would like to see the picture taken with bigger pearls closer to camera... to see the reflection of bigger pearls in the smaller ones. Like this it seams that luster of bigger pearls is better. They are also "pinkier".. and like others said: skin seams better too on big ones.. so ?? what...
