Hello Tahitiangirl, Those are lovely colors, esp for freshwater. I wold love to see more. Thanks for posting. I can't help getting excited about all the new gorgeous shades in CFWP. heehee

Just wanted to make a comment about the photos. When I first took mine, many had bright reflections from the flash(like Raison's), but I figured out how to get rid of that. But the pic I finally posted really looks tiny after I resized it for attaching. :( But, if you look at my strand, you...

Ok, so I am going to post a picture of my more silvery strand. It is the lighter of the two in color, but I will have to post the other later. This is the first time I ever photographed pearls, so be gentle. When I loaded my photos onto the computer, I saw the ones I took earlier were pretty...

But you know....I kind of see a face in it... IS it Voldemort? Once the rumors start, the blobs worth will go into the tens of millions. lol

Ok here I am , sans photos. I also got my package yesterday, so it must have been the pearl fairies busy day. ;) I love both of my strands, one is really a silvery white while the other is more of a blue. The amazing thing is that although they look different when seperated, together they...

Hi Josh, Wow, thanks for the invite. I don't have any plans to go to Tahiti any time soon, but this may give me incentive. I would love to learn more about pearl farming in a hands on way. :D When is the best time of year to visit, if for pearling reasons?

lol Thanks for that!! It was the ugliness that provoked me to post.

oh no oh no Well, perhaps another example of why I shouldn't post late into the night. I just couldn't figure out the price. An 18 inch strand with over 50 pearls can NOT be 11-12mm right? The Tahitian thing was more a "am I missing something" question, than about their integrity...

Something is fishy..I just counted. 50+ pearls. Now there is no way they could be 11mm, or it must be a much longer strand, right? Why is that knotting tool that was added some months ago? ********************************************************************** by the way, the Tahitian thing...

Yeah, that is what I figured, but I guess the pearls just didn't look that nice to me. I mean, compared to the pearls I see from the vendors here. Oh well, I meant it more for amusement than anything. I just thought the clasp was funny. :rolleyes:

Ok, so I am having another sleepless night and started trawling through websites trying to find something amusing/interesting..anything. So I found thishttp://www.yourpearlplace.com/product/PB01112 Now my question revolves around 11-12mm black peacock necklace. Are these Tahitians? Am I...

I really agree with Raisondetre here. The opinion that donations should be expected and required is rather distasteful to me. Donations should be the result of careful thought and personal conviction, not because there is any kind of pressure to make the donation. Donations should be strictly...

Hi GemGeek, Thanks for posting pictures for my sake. lol I can't wait to see them. Although I am a bit confused. It seems Caitlin say the photos by her 'nice work' comment, but on my screen, it says attachments pending approval. Does anyone else see this message? I can usually see...

Hi Gemgeek, Thanks for all the info on your website and designing. Sounds like you have a great supplier. Do you have a photo of the strand you donated at Tucson? I think we would all love to see it. I am so jealous of people getting their strands already. yet ANOTHER downside of living...

Hi Dasha, Well, I am not one of the resident expert when it comes to photographs, but you are right, You will need to take better ones. At this point all I could venture is they might be Akoyas. Try to get a close up of just a couple pearls and a close up of the entire strand. You may want...

Hey, Slraep, nice save! Sure, we believe you, the misinformation. Yeah, that 's the ticket. :D You know, I found the most adorable jeweler here. He runs this little jewlery shop by a shrine here in my hometown. When I first walked in and went to the pearls, he assumed I was going to buy...

Hi Gemgeek, Care to share more information about your company? I saw the photo you posted above of some baroques. They have some nice rainbow i them. You said you have a lot of stock, and fancy colors are always desired around this forum. So I was just kind of curious, are you just starting...

Hi Blaire, I live in Nagano-ken, which is on Honshu island. The city I live in is called Matsumoto, maybe if you google it you can see some English websites now. It is a beautiful area, with wonderful mountains. But not a pearl region at all. But I could always go to meet people in Kobe...

Well, if people come to Japan, let me know. MAybe we can hold a Pearl-Guide party while you are here.

You know, you gave me an idea, although I don't know how doable it is. Several of our members know/work with many small farms that produce pearls. Would it be possible to ask one of them to recommend a safe contact in China so that we could somehow get the money directly to the villages? I...
