Pattye, Waiting to see what you find.

Amazingly beautiful! Viva Nature and Nature's Helpers!

I returned the finished strand to my sister-in-law, but I will take a picture and show it here. Meanwhile I'm attaching a photo of the same necklace from Polina's wedding in 1976. I have made several phone calls to Athens, trying to find a photo of Polina's grandmother (who she was named after)...

I also bought from Inger (RainbowIslandPearls) a number of times and she was always honest, helpful and nice.

Thank you Josh for bringing this Pearl Talk. Jacues branellec is an important spokesman for the industry, and more important, for the health of the planet.

Welcome UHHA64! You've reached the single best site for everything about pearls. BTW, I am in T-A too.

I just went through Sheri's underwater photos on FB. Amazing love story!

Enjoy them Katbran and do show us the results.

Perlinda, But, if they are on opposite sides of the head than the match doesn't have to be perfect, or even very, very close. In the diamond trade, we used to say that the diamonds don't have to match if there is a nose between them.

Those beautiful akoya pearls were bought in 1922. There are 99 pearls: the biggest is 7.5 mm. and the smallest 3.3.mm. I would appreciate any information about the number of farms in Japan or any place else before this year.

Thanks for sharing. Hope they succeed.

Jeremy, thanks. However, that was what the instructor at the GIA pearls grading lab told the class twice.

"The wedding gown weighs nine kilos (about 18 pounds) of 99,999 light water pearls" A new kind of pearls? LOL

Just came back from New York, where I took the "Pearl Grading Lab Class". Somehow I managed to ignore the word "grading" and expected to take part in experiencing the lab facilities we learned about in the GIA pearl course. I also realized about two minutes before the class started that it was...

The military government took over the business and ruined the quality. Sarah, thank you for sharing. Would love to see more.

That use of "tia" I didn't know. Thanks.
