    Pearl of Allah, Fact; Pearl of Lao Tsu, Fiction

    Well, one thing I have to agree upon is the reliability of the carbo-dating. And since pearls would be from an organic source, they certainly seem to be a good candidate. However, I am not sure what to think about the whole Lao-Tzu connection. I am actually surprised someone claims to be of...

    Pinctada Maculata (Pipi) Pearls

    Hi Steve, Thanks for the neckshot! It certainly helped my perspective. It certainly does look like a formal piece, and paired with that shirt made me chuckle a bit. Someday maybe we can see it with a gown to set it off properly. See how I am? I get the picture I asked for, and immediately...

    Knotty Panda Pieces

    Hi Knotty, Wow, if those were the AA's, I can't wait to see the AAA's. But *sigh* I will only get a brief peek. I did order them as Mother's Day gifts. My mom was totally delighted with hers and my mil's is on the way. I had both sent to my mom's house in the States so I wouldn't have to...

    Pinctada Maculata (Pipi) Pearls

    Simply gorgeous!! But I would still like to see it on a neck. ;) I always prefer necklaces that way, it gives me a better feel for the overall design. Good luck with the event and I am sure we all wish we could be there. I hope it gets all the attention and appreciation it deserves...

    Does this look natural?

    Yeah, I thought the greys looked natural too. I thought they showed good orient. But like Jerin, maybe the others seemed more likely dyed to me. I would be curious how to tell too.:)

    How did this happen?

    Hi Jeremy, When you know the approximate time-frame for posting that article here, can you give us some notice? Just a week or even a few days is all I mean. Some days when I check for new posts, there are quite a few(like today) and sometimes I don't read them all. I don't want to miss it...

    Can anyone tell me anything about my pearls?

    The age and the craftsmanship add a lot to the value( as you probably know):) . So even if the weight seems light, it is still just a fraction of the value. At a typical jewler, I could see that going for much higher than you paid. And for pearl lovers, unique items like that are invaluable...

    Can anyone tell me anything about my pearls?

    Hello, One thing you may want toconsider is the weight of the clasp. With gold being $600+ an ounce these days and it being an antique, the clasp alone could be worth the price you paid. It looks like gold work on top of soomehing. Amber, maybe? Just looked up todays prices and gold is a...

    I noticed the article is a decade old. Any improvements, or is it like many other environmental problems and nothing is being done?

    Baroque Freshwater

    Alain, I know exactly how you feel. My husband is Japanese and it can be hard for me to tell. Sometimes it seems like slight variations of a perfectly straight face. But I am getting better at it. :D The pearls look lovely on her and seem to pick out more gold tones in her skin. Lovely...
