Hi Kaywal, Welcome to the forum. :) I am not an expert, but shall give it a try. On the left column of Pearl-Guide, under Freshwater Pearls, there is a good description of tissue nucleated cultured freshwater pearls and bead nucleated Japanese freshwater pearls. Not included in that...

Beautiful pearls! Seems like you have one for each day of the week!:) Pernula

I personally would choose options 1 or 3. The second option would not work for me (even if the online seller is willing) because I am very likely to KEEP THEM ALL! ;) Regards, Pernula

Sarah, You designs are exceptionally beautiful and original. Matching the keishi with imperial topaz beads is just brilliant. I LOVE it! Cheers, Pernula

Hi Josh, That's interesting the color range is different at different atolls. You have an explanation? I hope the prices for beautiful naturals will go up for you and the other farmers. I kind of doubt whether the popularity of brown/chocolate is long term (>5 years into the future)...

Love your necklace and earrings. Isn't it extra sweet to receive something like this from friends? Cheers, Pernula

Wow! That is an outstanding collection! Great design talent and jewelry making skills!:) Cheers, Pernula

Hanaleimom: I have no idea how knot versus bead will work for a Y necklace. I guess I should email Mia. Raj: Your pearls and pictures are beautiful! Jerin: Thanks for your kind comments. I shall try to take some pictures. It might be a while as the only time I can possibly take pictures...

SpaceNeedle, your earrings are gorgeous! The colors are just awesome. Are those GSS from Lombok, Indonesia? Thanks for sharing,:) Pernula

Thanks for the info everyone. What is a Paspaley T1 grade? :confused: Hi Knotty, I am not thinking about a strand. Probably just a pendant someday. I am thinking for some of these rare and expensive pearls (kasumiga, SS, etc.) I will go along a path of pendant collecting focusing on quality...

Blaire, Great pictures! I especially like the chocolate pearl earrings you got! I was wondering whether dyed chocolate pearls have various overtones, so yours was pink? Any other overtone choices? Cheers, pernula

The GSS pearls I have seen do not have the metallic luster/shimmer as in the smaller round exotic freshwater pearls. But I wonder whether they can? Would metallic GSS be hard to find? Care Ehret describes some of her pearls as metallic luster. For those who have purchased from her, do you...

Thanks everyone for your advice. Very well said Pearl Dreams and Boo. I think I will keep it. Better to use my energy to enjoy the pearls than to waste my brain thinking too much!:) Boo: I hope you get well soon! I did not reply to the PMs of offers. Sorry, even if I had decided not to keep...

Thank you for the photo journey! Pernula

I am a little confused. Copper means natural color and "real" chocolate means dyed chocolate or the other way round (copper means dyed..)? Is the choice of copper overtone in this pendant http://www.pearlparadise.com/detail.aspx?ID=123 natural or dyed? How many percent of Tahitian pearls are...

I feel like being chided. I do realize Jeremy is being very nice and generous to us, that's why I might return an exotic so that somebody else could have it if I were not 100 % in love with it. I have bought about 15 items from PP for personal use or gifts, I love their pearls!;) I can't...

I don't know whether this is buyer's remorse/envy/greedy or what, it seems like other people's exotics are generally prettier than mine :(:o, especially when Jeremy declared his favorites or posted a new special creation. I do really appreciate the honest opinions. When I took pictures my...

Hi Jody, I am late to this. The necklace looks beautiful on you as it is.:) If you would like one more opinion I think it may be nicer to have an inch or so more. That way it rests just slightly more on the collar bone. Just my two cents. Either way you have a great necklace! :) Cheers...

Knotty Panda: you really made me laugh!:) I love this forum! Boo: that is a beautiful and very original design! Cheers, Pernula

Wow, love your pearls! I was not sure about silver color Tahitian pearls but now I think I might get one too! Pernula
