Oh wow! I agree with everyone else, my eyes go straight to the green/gold ones

I got my new Tahitian pearl necklace today!! It's another estate piece, but the clasp was 18k and says "Delia and Tasaki," so I figured it was a pretty safe bet that these were quality pearls. And I loooooove them, but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves! The grey/blue seems to show...

Thank you! I think so too, and I'm sure one of them will come home with me eventually. And hey, if the seller prices them right I might buy them again, as freshwaters. Btw, I got my pearl stringing kit I ordered from you this last week and everything is lovely and arrived in good condition, and...

Oh yeah, very subtle. So beautiful, though!

Three times? I'm just about to restring pearls and the video I watched just knotted once. She was doing small pearls, though. It does make sense when I think about it to make bigger knots for big pearls. Glad I saw this!

Ooo, I bet it was pretty! I wonder if it was dyed?

Yeah, I'm pretty confident they're FW pearls at this point. The folks on this thread know their stuff. They're still beautiful and valuable I'm sure, but my eyes are on SSP!

Ha ha! Maybe I'll be such a pearl expert I can pull that one one day. Must have been kinda satisfying, right?

Yeah, I really think he just didn't know because there's not much jewelry in his shop. I mean, a couple months ago when I knew nothing about pearls if that necklace had landed in my lap I would have just looked up large pearls, saw SSP and thought I'd hit the jackpot! I contacted the seller...

Thank you so, so much! Man, if I wasn't part of this forum I would have paid at least three times what this necklace was worth and never knew, I'm afraid- until I went toget the appraised, anyway! I know buying on Ebay is risky, but second hand pearls have such low resell values it's so...

Thank you so much! Omg, I'm so glad that I'm learning about pearls from you guys because otherwise I would have just seriously overpayed for bead nucleated FW pearls! I'm pretty sure the seller just didn't know either, though. I didn't see any other pearls in his shop and he probably acquired...

I admire your clothes as much as your pearls, jeg! And this outfit is my favorite yet. I have a soft spot for yellow, and the pearls look so nice with it. And ombre pearl necklaces, gasp. Until I found this forum I never could have imagined there would be so many colors of pearls you could even...

I wore my SSP necklace to Goodwill today, along with my messy bun, sneakers and sweatshirt- but I still felt very classy! I forgot to take a picture, but I didn't want to come empty handed, so I'm including a picture of the adorable ladybug luggage I got- for those vacations I distantly remember...

Okay, I solemnly swear to check myself into compulsive buyers rehab after this purchase, but I bought another pre-owned pearl necklace off Ebay. To me it looks beautiful, but almost immediately after the auction ended I started having second thoughts. Is it possible these might not be South Sea...

Oh, the color of those earrings is to die for! Greenish gold is such a rich color. It's just pure luxury!

Thank you to all the nice comments! This is by far my favorite thread on pearl guide. I love to see how everyone styles their jewelry and outfits, and it gives me ideas for what I'll do when I have more necklaces. I loved the layered look! Meanwhile, my collection is limited, so my offerings...

Oh, thank you! I certainly felt very glam I my pearls. I think I might have taken a bit more pride in my styling in the mornings that I wore my pearls. It inspired me to wear my pretty clothes- I guess I was dressing up for them.

I love the clasp, too!
