I wonder how large the nucleus is? For $55,675 I would like to have nacre thicker than .8mm. :)

As consumer we have to do our homework and pay attention to details. I think "cultured pearls" are the key words. Genuine cultured pearls are described as such for other items, for example from the links below...

I second Pearl Dreams' request. Those GSS pearls are beautiful.

I think you did alright. Luster seems good. Pearls are colorful, not lots of circles. From the angles of the photos, I can't tell the symmetry of how well the strand is matched.

1) Tahitians - I am not a fan of tight circle pearls unless they are extremely colorful. I prefer soft circle pearls (circles are on less than 1/3 of pearl surface). Are there are lots of spots/pits on all strands? Do you like lighter or silvery ones? or darker ones? The second strand counting...

We all had a great time. The company and the food were hard to beat. We are lucky to see in person Hisano's beautiful engagement ring and the necklace. Ah hem, the princess cut diamond is over two carats. Too bad we weren't fast enough to take a picture of Jeremy in the parking garage. Lol. The...

Great work Caitlin. Neck shot please. Lol. It's easy to clean pearls knotted with PowerPro. Same with elastic bracelets.

Cute ones! I like the soft circle ones with colorful stripes.

wild onion, You found some colorful pearls. They turn out really nice in the settings and the loose ones are so pretty. I especially like the 3 pearl pendant dangling with soft curves. I was under the impression the Seaside location replaced the Hyatt when I saw their Facebook post. It's good...

I like snakeskin leather. This type of faceting reminds me of snakeskin or turtle armor. But somehow I don't like it on pearls.

I did not mean to mislead you. What I meant was I thought champagne SS looks good on me originally. But after looking at some strands at PP I've concluded that medium or deeper gold are better.

I love it. Even from the first post, picture on the right, I can see the pink halo surrounding the green pearl on Mark's pendant. Normally, the pink we usually see when the pearl is on white background isn't intense enough to show on the skin or gets washed out if one is not very fair. It is...

I've seen more men wearing pearls on TV recently. The CEO of Diamond ResortS in the show "Undercover Boss" wears a leather Tahitian bracelet. The pearl is quite large at about 15mm. Steven Tyler of American Idol wears multiple leather Tahitian necklaces on the show.

I clicked on the link in your first post. The name Kilauea Gems sounds familiar. I think it's the boutique I was talking about. We are passing through Honolulu on the way to Kauai this May. But I have not decided whether our Oahu stay is before or after Kauai. If it's after then I will be at the...

Hi wild onion, It's nice to see you back. If I am not mistaken you moved to Arizona. Thanks for sharing pictures of your recent purchases. You picked beautiful pearls. I like lariat style. I saw Mark's designs in a boutique in Hanalei town on Kauai. It's a shop right next door to Bar Acuda...

PP was selling the drop, oval shapes a few months ago. They are called "color-shift" pearls. Quantity was limited. I think it's best you chat, email or call PP. They have merchandise that are not listed on the website.

I am Asian with fair to medium skin tone. At first I thought champagne gold SS is better on me. But I think medium or darker gold pearls don't disappear on me like champagne. Have you seen Jewelmer's website or facebook? Some of their models have darker skin and look fabulous in deeper gold...

Hi Bernadette, Do you have a picture of the broach or the item number of where you got it from? Thanks.

ROTFLMAO (Ch***lish). Here we go again...the sand story http://www.gracepearl.com/en/product7.asp

Do you have a drill? The pearls that are pre-drilled for strands have smaller holes, approx .7mm or less depending on pearl size. Most leather width are at least 1mm. Without a drill, you'll be reaming manually with a ream and that will be a loooooooong time. PP offers drilling service for loose...
