Thank you BWeaves, jeg, 86Corvettegirl, and Marianne!

Thanks! Around 12.85mm average.

Thanks newberry, Simply adorned, and GemGeek! Here’s a couple of handshots. :)

Thanks Pearl Dreams and BWeaves! I had the concept for more than a decade but only did it this year. :)

It took 12 years but this pearl has finally been set. :) Made with 14K rose gold and together with a south sea keshi, Burmese Type A jadeites, and Burmese pink spinel accents.

This thing happening in the Philippines is laughable....people started to claim “clam pearls” because there was a chemist from a supposedly respected public university and some government “experts” who does destructive tests and they were featured in a popular television show (who didn’t even...

Guys, super storm alert heading in HK...... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-11/super-storm-adds-to-philippine-inflation-risk-as-it-heads-to-hk https://www.hko.gov.hk/wxinfo/dailywx/wxwarntoday.htm

Exquisite! So rare to find a strand of SS keshis, more so in the nest color and highly pleasant shapes.... Why are the South Sea keshis so difficult to come by compared to Tahitian keshis? The cost of South Sea keshis are so much more than the Tahitians as well.....

I could actually see the birds! Very creative!

Thanks, Pearl Dreams!

Wanted to revive this thread. Did the law January last year push thru? I’m still seeing most vendor infos state that Tahitian’s minimum thickness is 0.8mm.

I found burmese harvest improving. I saw some baroque Burmese golden with a deep gold. They were usually a tad lighter saw some that was colored like Philippine golds.

Thanks, everyone! I saw lesser nice deep goldens this year.....output for nice goldens not so much I guess but I heard the demand was up from Chinese and Japanese markets for GSSPs.

My loot from the Bangkok fair. White SSP is 12.00-16.20 and bigger GSSP 10.00-13.50.

Very nice rose buds!

What is the current thickness of Edison pearls? This article says 5mm - 12mm...which is outstandingly thick. Is this correct? And at 36 months cultivation? It seems not to add up. http:// http://www.jewellerynewsasia.com/DetailPages/ArticleContentPage?WEBONID=13024

Thanks , everyone! I really like these tiny akoyas. :)

This is a simple earring combo of a dragon earring with ruby eyes and a tiny 2.5mm akoya pearl. The dragon in some Asian culture symbolizes a wise creature while the pearl symbolizes the sun and wisdom. So the dragon is always chasing wisdom.

The SoC pendant is very eye-catching!

They hyped up everything but made the Tahitians look like cheap, poorly dyed freshwater pearls.....ooh, but maybe they're really cheap, poorly dyed freshwater pearls.
