I love your emerald briolettes Andrea! It gives the pearls a different vibe. :)

Thanks Pattye. :) Tucs, it's grilled knuckle of piglet with scallions and potatoes. :)

BN, the fw klonks do look really good dyed gray! Purranha, nice collection of SSPs! :)

Thanks, everyone. Can't wait on to see your pearls on your travels! CathyKeshi, you have to do one at the Plaza de España if you are going to Sevilla. Meantime, here's some white metallic studs at the City of Love. <3

Yes this is an 8-year old thread Purranha. Lol. BWeaves, You are right. The klonks isn't anyone's commercial marketing. It's what we call big pearls. Here's a quote from Caitlin: Generally, since tissue-nucleated FWPs are mostly nacre, they are lighter. However, the bead-nucleated Edisons...

Purranha, this is because I revived an old thread before the Edisons hit the market. :) About 8 years ago, the market only had "fireballs" for big nucleated fw pearls - these are Edisons with tails.....then the technology got better and the round pearls were achieved. I think the Edisons will...

Thanks Andrea and BWeaves! BWeaves, even a photo of your pearls on your town or city would be interesting for me! :)

Purranha Edisons are desirable in their own right! That's why the tissue-uncleared large ones are dwindling. :) They can be larger, faster to produce and easier to achieve roundness and luster than large tissue-nucleated ones.

Wear your pearls when you travel and let us see them go places. :) Or let us see your pearls in your town or city. Or anywhere interesting :) Here are my 9mm golden studs at the Alhambra, a UNESCO Heritage Site in Granada, Spain. :)

GreenBling, that price isn't bad for the size. :) Andrea, it's nice to have one for collection.:)

Purranha, there are 2-3mm translucent rough stone strands of gray or other colored diamonds that are very affordable. I've ordered some online and it should arrive in a few weeks. I hope they are translucent as described and don't look like pebbles at the beach! Lol.

Currently, the daughter of Imelda is a Congressman in their hometown and the son is a senator running for the Vice Presidential race this coming May 2016 elections. He is very strong in the surveys.

Resurrecting this thread. Whatever happened to the klonks? Anyone still buying klonks these days and how's the availability? Before the Edisons, there were tissue-nucleated FWPs that are sold 12mm and above which we called klonks in the forum. Because it takes a lot of time to grow these pearls...

Beautiful mismatched earrings!

The bracelet looks freshwater to me. A lot of Freshwater Pearls tend to have a flat side. The rings also occur more in FWPs instead of akoyas.

Purranha, make a tassel with diamond beads on your ropes! :)

Gorgeous wedding photos Hanadama!

1. If she seldom wears coats and blazers and have the round neck blouses or collared blouses, choose the 18". Otherwise, choose a shorter strand so in case she closes her coat, the pearls can still be seen. 2. The 9mms aren't that big. Although some women prefer understated classics. If she's...

Lovely bracelets, ladies. :) let me throw in my 10mm pink lavender unpolished FWP bracelet. :)
