    Strand arrived today

    Hi! I'm very excited that my first strand of Freshadamas arrived today. I ordered a 15 inch strand 6-7mm with rose overtones. The luster is amazing. I've been comparing to the AAA 6-7mm bracelet that I have from PP, and the old akoya strand my parents gave me. I have some questions. Please...

    Can you guess these pearls?

    They are just lovely! What a sweet gift for your mother.:) I was going to guess Freshadamas for the earrings, because they look like mine. I thought the necklace might be Freshadamas or AAA from PP. I'm thrilled that I could discern, being a newbie and all!

    Show us your very first pearls?

    The first photo is of my very first pearls from my parents. They gave them to me when I was 16. I think they're akoyas--17 inch strand--6.5-7mm. The second photo is my own first pearl purchase. AAA Freshwater bracelet from PP. I just very recently got into pearls, and oh how I love them!

    What constitutes Gem Quality Pearls?

    Hello, I read in a thread about PP's Freshadamas vs. AAA that Jeremy's "Gem Quality" strands are not listed on his site. Are AAAs not gem quality? I recently bought an AAA bracelet from PP, and I was under the impression that it would be gem quality. I also read that Freshadamas are gem...

    New FW freeform baroque bracelet!

    Jewellrywork is the name of the vendor. Orient is hard to photograph in diffused indoor natural light! I wish I could photograph pearls for a living!

    What is most important to you when choosing pearls?
