It's value is probably greater left in the shell and given to someone who collects natural odds and ends. As a pearl it won't be worth anything for the reasons Caitlin has explained. But someone will appreciate it simply because it's interesting.

Gorgeous! Can't wait to see the finished product!

You're definitely right in that, Sarah. It's easy to go nuts over pearls! And there is a lot to learn, but think how much fun you can have learning it! :D

Douglas, that strand is absolutely breathtaking! Even looking at the photos of them is addictive. Fortunate lady. Sigh!

Too many favorites to specify one! Very well put together, Jeremy.

The circled strands are less expensive than the round AAA quality strands, so the added tax per gram would result in a higher percentage of price increase.

Congratulations, Pearl, both on the anniversary and on the lovely keshis!:)

Hey Josh, no wonder you were excited! WOW! That's a real beauty. Sheri, did I miss a photo of your new SS necklace?

It looks like you all had a wonderful time. Thanks for remembering the rest of us, and sharing the pics. The show and tell must have been marvelous!

Welcome to the Forum, Maria! The mirror type luster is often seen in faux pearls. Freshwater pearls have a softer look. And the fact that they have a perfectly clean surface and are that size and shape makes me think they're more likely fakes. Let us know the results of your tooth test.

Fascinating bit of history!

Just saw the photos you posted yesterday, Sheri. I just love those colors.

Hey, where was that when I was looking for it? I was trying to find a Tahitian that color a couple weeks ago!

Looks like you've been having fun!

Sounds like you both had a great time. Thanks for the pics. The pistachio Kamokas are amazing, as is that rope and the large green loose Kamoka pearl. Mmmm. No wonder you look so happy!

I don't have any further info either. It's quite outstanding, isn't it? Looks like something that should have been worn by a middle eastern princess! Hope somebody else is better at researching than me. I'd love to know its history.

Sabine, welcome to the forum. Sheri, they may not be Josh's finest, but that necklace looks absolutely lovely on you.

Fantastic colors. Fiji, huh? I'd love to...hmmm, wonder if I could manage it?

Your stall looks great, Nerida. And I see why they liked Mikey's photo. Glad it went well for you.

Hi Blair, are your cats better? Sorry I was away for a couple weeks - we're in England helping Andrew's elderly parents. Have a wedding in Scotland this weekend. Ought to be fun. All well with you?
