I just found a picture on imdb.com showing Anne Hathaway wearing a graduated white strand. I am going to see it on IMAX tomorrow.

This page follows her fashion and style: http://mrs-o.com/ They usually are very good at figuring out which designer she's wearing, including accessories. PP's name should be out there!

I didn't think circled round pearls exist. I have never seen one in the past until 2 days ago at Margo Tahitian Pearl in Honolulu ( they are Tahiti Pearl Market in French Polynesia). The pearl was 20mm, round, with 2 or 3 rings around it, light silvery green with very good luster. Certainly a...

Keep in mind they have AAAA grading system, which means their top pearls are graded AAAA. Most sellers use AAA grading system. For that $349 pendant you should expect 15% to 20% with minor blemishing according to their website. Look at pearl grading under Education on the left side of the page...

I don't buy or sell for a living. The top 2 don't have vibrant, most sought after colors. The 3rd's color is much nicer. I don't feel like the last 3 pearls on each end at the clasp are well matched though, MHO. With the last picture shown in full I counted 37 pearls which makes that almost...

A genuine round Tahitian pearl strand for $250??? I am really curious to see the picture, but am very skeptical. If it's too good to be true then it probably isn't the real thing, or stolen goods. This reminds me of the other thread where the OP thought he/she bought an akoya set for $78.

Stachura now has Gudebrod silk threads in black, white and colors, sizes E, F, and others depending on colors. http://www.stachurawholesalegemstones.com/view/181/

How about positioning the camera to the side of the strand and at 45 degree angle instead of top views like the ones pictured here? I don't know if it will work for camera, but I've noticed at that angle, colors seem to look better than looking straight down at the object.

Hi Lulu, You have some nice acquisitions there. I like the PP double strand and Kojima's lavender very much. They all look great on you beautiful neck.

From Kojima Pearl's blog? I like Francois' bracelets. On a man, maybe an 18" strand but multiple strands just won't cut it, imo. :)

Can you wait until Mother's Day? If there is a coupon code from PP, some WSS baroque strand will be about $810 with 10% off.

It's call Zap-A-Gap http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O5GXY8 http://www.supergluecorp.com/zap/zap-glues/zap-gap I mentioned it here https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3643&page=1&highlight=magic I've taken it apart so many times. They are knotted every two pearls now. All...

The picture was photoshopped so colors are more vibrant than real life. I bought it in 2009 from Tahiti Pearl Market, now renamed as Margo Pearl in Honolulu, Hawaii. It was too big and they removed a few pearls. The gold beads are from bellafindings.com. One of my "love at first sight" pearls...

Thanks Alex for that link to post # 38. I normally don't log in to read new posts and somehow missed "that" picture from "Other Stuff" forum when I logged in. I saw the ring here on P-G from the knotting picture.

No, it's been with me a few years. Thanks.

When I think high-end, I think refined taste, and also high maintenance. :D

Lulu, those are beautiful shots of pearls on the ears. You've done really well. Wear them in good health. Welcome to Pearl-guide.com. :)

I am glad it worked for you. Like Katbran suggested, I've also used gold laser beads as spacers between pearls and tucked the knot inside the beads.

I assume most people aren't aware and/or don't report US state use tax when they purchase via the internet. Tracking small purchase is tedious. How many of you purchase from amazon.com track your purchases and file use tax? :) States w/o income tax aren't really tracking down consumers' internet...

You have more advantage than me in that you can drill your pearls. One option is to drill one side of the end pearl next to the knot to make bigger hole so you can tuck the knot in. I use square knot and dab glue. Magic something...I ran out and do not have a bottle, but I've posted it and its...
