Thanks everybody for sharing what you found last year. Especially the ones that aren't in the list, like the natural pearls, etc. Have we seen photos of all these in other threads?

Pattye, I'm like you... I can't wait to see them. Everything else has to wait!

You're right. South Sea pearls should have been on the list. Does anybody know how to add another category to a poll once it has been started?

I thought it would be interesting to compare what type of pearls our pearl guide members prefered this past year. So I'm going to start this poll. If you'd like to participate, just click on whatever type of pearls you bought during 2008 - Freshwater Akoya Tahitian Freshadama I'm...

I agree there's a place for both. I usually encourage people to consider the Freshwater Orient/ Freshadama/ Gem Fresh etc pearls as they are more durable due to the solid nacre and are a better investment in terms of quality for your money. But some Hanadamas are absolutely breathtaking. I...

Okay, I'm a bit late joining in the chorus of oohs and aahs but they are too good to not say anything. I love them. Congratulations to you, Olga. They look really good on you. Isn't it fun taking new pearls from room to room, checking them out in different lighting and trying different...

I agree. The blue in the South Sea multicolor strand makes it exceptional.

Hey Cheryl, congratulations! And Sheryl, that was good fun!

Slraep, I like your head banging emoticon! I think I've got my avatar back. Once I post this I'll know for sure.

A warm welcome to you, PearlA. You'll enjoy the forum. Lot's of interesting things to learn and some photos that will make your pearl addiction grow! My guess is 521.

Oh - and please don't post any official color charts until a few have had a chance to test their knowledge:D;):)

Okay, that photo shows them too small. Let me cut up that line-up into smaller sections so you can see them up closer. Hmm. Is that better? I think I should have numbered them.

Anybody want to try to name the different colors of Tahitians in this selection I pulled out of loose pearls? How many different colors of Tahitians can you identify and/or describe?

What a great way to enjoy them fully! They are truly gorgeous. I'm happy for you!

They're both gorgeous.

Great photography and lovely pearls. I like the multicolored and the Tahitian pendant with the hat!

Excellent! A great pearl for guys!

Very nice, both of them. I'd like to see how the last one looks on a person's neck. Do you have someone that could model it for us?
