Always matching if with strands but I wear studs with necklaces of other gemstones with matching color. I.e. GSSPs with yellow stones, lavender FW studs with purple stones, whites with diamonds or white stones, etc.

Just a thought. Is it possible that the low quality Tahitians may have actually come from The Philippines or Indonesia where P. Margaritefera can also be cultivated? I know that it's generally south seas but I have also been told some small farms before grow some small quantity of black pearls...

Very good point from Hanadama. Tahitians being generally black and the luster being on the surface, I think it will be difficult to see the nacre thickness by eye. In drilled pearls, one can look at the drill holes to check nacre thickness, same as in akoyas. Whatever type of pearl, the drill...

Thank you dmj. This is what I like about European Jewellery - the attention to detail even in simple, classic designs, the generous application of gold in every piece, and a higher standard in gold content which is 18k.

Thank you for the eye candy katbran. :)

Fiji pearls are definitely on my wish list!

Great job, Hanadama. Very wearable with different outfits!

I'm part of the herby club! I thought I was too late for it. :p And my herb of choice is....

Congrats MSC! Can't wait to see what you do with it. :)

Congrats Luvglitz and KaySD! Lovely golden pearls. I always hear people say golden pearls doesn't suit their tone. Even in Europe, it is one of the reasons I think why golden pearls are not popular. However, those I know that have tried deep goldens have positive feedbacks. Mainly because a...

The minimum requirement on nacre thickness even for a Hanadama is around .4mm (most in the market are .25mm) while the Tahitians have a minimum of .8mm. (though some sides of Tahitian pearls reach 2mm., even 4mm), now the thickness requirement for Tahitians have changed so we can expect thinner...

Thanks Pearl Dreams and Cathy Keshi! Laguna, I was actually waiting for someone to notice the similarity to akoyas. Did you get from the white lot with blue overtones? They will look similar because the Tahitians reflect light rather than have them pass through the nacre like SSPs. I have a...

Thanks Katbran and Pareltje!

Hanadama, I just saw your silvers. They are quite unique as well in a single strand. Do they look like metal balls in some lighting? Because of the body color, I assume they can appear silver than the whites? If anyone plan to buys these white tahitians, it looks good as a rope. Lucky for...

Thanks JP, Frost Me and Hanadama!

Welcome to the pearl selfie world katbran! You killed it with your first shot!

Thanks, kalmen. :)

I also hired a model for the White Tahitians...

Purr, Hanadama, Here are neck shots! They appear light bluish silver on my skin, and very shiny silvery white on some lighting.

Thank you Newberry, Katbran, and Peraltje! Katbran, the Australian SSPs, you may inquire with Cees/Amsterdam Pearls. :) I like how Australian SSPs are so smooth and white even at 15mm up!
