Nice!! I love multiple strands, all kind layered looks :) Kojimapearl: What a great pearls you've got! And the waist charm idea is really good. It is wearable with many different kind of dresses and pants! Maria

Maybe you could find the kind of enhancer finding that enables for you to wear it as a pendant too. Because such an exotic drop would look gorgeous on its own too. If the coins were mine, I would make a twisted multi-row strand from smaller fw-s or even seeds (4-5mm maybe) and add few coins to...

Blaire and Pattye: Yes, i did find about the existence of unique Sea of Cortez pearls here in the forum. Before joining, I kept coming back for hours and hours of reading. What is so great here in the forum, is that I do not even have to look for better pearls, I just keep coming across them...

WOW! Just amazing!! /Thats the trouble with seeing these extraordinary examples, it raises the bar for what we want/ - so well put, Purlgurl. I keep wanting more and more. The pearls what were nice few months ago, just do not work for me any longer. Really lucky owner of these extraordinary...

Happy birthday! You have chosen yourself really nice gifts! ;)

Pearlcat and Pattye, Thank you! The pendant was cheepo, that's why I feel specially lucky to have it ;). I've never been into coins, but yours, Pearlcat, have such an interesting colouring. Have you received them yet, are they really that amazing? And the drop ofcource, is just wonderful :)...

This is not as good as from PP's, but still I would call it an exotic :). Actually, was lucky to get it. We ordered some simple fw strands for crafting and added few pendants and earrings to the order. Ordered a lavender pendant and this is what I got ;) Maria

Wow, what a beautiful exotics around here. I specially like the lavenders ;)

Thank you Caitlin, for in-depth answer! I can see the water-effect from the Tom's pics you posted. Actually, the last pearl is not that ugly ;) :). Very interesting, gotta check the thread. Maria

Fabulous pearls - the "real" thing :) ShashiRatna, I am not expert, but just happened to read an old thread some time ago, explaining the orient. I think you could find it searching the forum using "overtone vs orient". The way I understand it, the overtone is one extra colour some pearls...

Hi Blaire! It was really nice to find your friendship request in my e-mail few days ago. :) Thanks ! Maria

To my untrained eye, the one on the right has sharper reflection, so I think Akoya. Yet again it also reflects more "yellowish" tone starting from the bottom. But I use laptop, so I cant exactly trust my monitor. ... nor eyesight :D Maria .

... but be careful, knotting, like pearls, is very addictive-better than a video game! ... That is so true :):). First neclace was hard - making the knot close on the right spot. But since then fun fun fun... Maria

Hi Mervione! Hard to say where in Stockholm the shop was :). It was about half a year ago and we were looking a different kind of jewelry shop... Defenetly in the city shopping area, I think in the area with the more expensive brand shops. They had a lot overpriced akoyas (and not that pretty)...

I did go thorough the previous posts and checked the link (thanks Pearl dreams :) ), but I quess still missed the info if the exotics were just polished or also luster treated this time. Only exotic fw-s I've seen in person, were a little baroque type earrings in a shop in Stockholm. So I'm...

Just fabulous pairs! :). Would love some :D. Are those pearls untreated and with natural colours? Maria

I did check some web pages of the member vendors since I first posted to have better idea what such large cultured pearls should cost. The reasons I started doubting if they were real in the first place were their size, the cleanness and how well they were matched versus the price. Now I...

The Jeremy Shephard's pairs are just gorgeous! The colour of the pearls I started the thread about was maybe a little darker than the 1th pair from the left. Unfortunately, these are gone from the store. So I took pictures from few others of that type and large size. The pics are not good - out...

Thanks Nerida! Actually I was thinking if the pearls could be faux. But to sell for such a price? It could take a small company (owning few shops in different small citys) to go under if performing such fraud would come out to public. I will try to get a pic tomorrow. Could you advise where...

Hi! I am new to the forum and this is my first post here. I would like to ask your opinion about some pearl earring set I saw in a local shop. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture to post. I'll try to describe them. The pair is perfectly matched, large, ca 15mm perfect round to the eye. The...
