Hagerty has an ultrasonic cleaner suitable for pearls. http://hagertyusa.com/jewelry/products/sonic_jewelry_cleaner_battery.htm

Mokume gane is folded, then stretched, then folded, then stretched, like twenty times for a very thin sheet of metal. The stretching breaks the metal which causes the grain to form. Yes, buy it by the sheet. I understand people also work with PMC gold and silver clay and a pasta maker to...

No, but you might try mokume gane as a substitute.

I thought it was pretty. Then you explained it. Now I think it's beautiful.

Is there any particular value to having them certified Hamadama over a lab cert that can verify the same qualities?

Well, that makes two of us! The cert was with strand and I didn't see anything that said treatment, not that I can read Japanese, but the translation didn't say anything about treatments. But you say it's not disclosed. Also, Tiffany, or so I was told, doesn't handle pinked pearls, in Akoyas...

How do the golden SSP and golden Akoyas compare in color? Does the texture differences affect the appearance of the color in any way? Blaire, those are fabulous too! I'm going to have to live vicariously through your neck shots.

I AM SO INCREDIBLY PLEASED TO SEE A POST CELEBRATING AKOYAS! There are posts on the forum that seem to suggest that we are only looking for substitutes for non-bead nucleated pearls when nothing could be further from the truth. I saw my first strand of Hanadamas about two years ago at...

I can't see this link and I wish I could. Bonham's routinely calls keishis naturals.

Some of these I recall. Some are new treats. Thanks for sharing!

I'm learning :)! I need to go through your albums.

I missed your birthday! Happy Birthday!

I just saw your message from like days and days ago! I'm so dumb, I don't know how to use this function! DUH! So, YO back!

I don't know how to use these! Help!

Deeply breathe in through your nose, slowly exhale through your mouth. Do this ten times, all the time backing away from the pearl. When the pearl image pops in your head, think of something else, like chocolate. No, not chocolate, that goes back to pearls. Think of felting! Yeah, felting...

Oh wow! Now I see. I went to the "as seen in" section of the site and they are everywhere! http://www.dogeared.com/as-seen-in

Ok, I give. Is this someone who should know better? The name doesn't ring a bell nor does the contact person's name.

We could make a game of this. You know, like a Sarah version of Where's Waldo?

Is that Sarah in that video?

Definitely Effisk.
