    Are these real pearls?

    The pin is really pretty! Before you list it at $99, you might try clicking the button on the left hand column for "completed listings only." Then look for ones that actually sold. Sold prices show in green. There are tons of vintage jewelry items on eBay at high prices, but they don't sell...

    What size earrings?

    I like big honking pearl studs! My problem is that the stud length is usually too long and pokes me in that tender spot just behind my ear. Ouch! I guess I have thin earlobes? I usually just nip a little bit off with some wire cutters. I've learned to be very careful doing that, though, after...

    Did I pay too much for my Tahitian Baroque Necklace

    Tahitians aren't normally my thing, but I think those look absolutely wonderful on you, Artpearl. They are just...right, somehow. Maybe it is the cool silver with your pink undertone skin. I'm guessing that you often find yourself absent-mindedly feeling each pearl, noticing how uniquely shaped...

    Drop dead gorgeous abalone pearl pendant

    Love this pendant's shape! It looks like a cross between a treble clef and a dancer en pointe.

    Japanese Kasumi vs. Chinese "Look-a-likes"

    I agree with this. I've been wanting a strand of these for months and have noticed that they are getting less expensive all the time. If you love the look (and I do!) that's good news. I saw a 17 inch necklace of 10-12mm pearls with silver clasp for US$60 today on eBay. That particular vendor...

    My small collection

    Caitlin: I don't personally write on it very often, but my husband updates our blog every time we move to a new place. I occasionally add photos or videos. Lately, I've been interested in updating my clothes and jewelry and have been reading many personal fashion blogs. While most seem to be by...

    My small collection

    Thanks, everyone! Pattye: No, I didn't knot them. They came as a complete necklace. The silver clasp helped to keep the price down. I'd like to try my hand at knotting and jewelry creation one of these days, but my available space is very limited. We live full time in our motorhome (caravan...

    Pearl purchase from Shanghai

    I like the sequence of colors in this necklace. My first impression was "yup, Tahitians," so I'm glad that the experts agree! -Louise

    My small collection

    The latest type of pearls that have caught my eye are the lumpy, bumpy, wrinkly ones. Since I can't afford Japanese true Kasumis, I started looking at the Chinese look-alikes. I drooled over Catherine Cardellini's collection, but wanted to dip my toe in the water with something less expensive...

    My small collection

    I found that when I looked at my first two pieces, my eye was always drawn to the one or two super shiny, metallic beads, so my next purchase was this bracelet: The shape is really "eggy" on these, but the luster is wonderful! And I love the purple with green overtones. My husband doesn't...

    My small collection

    I don't post much here on PG, but I've been lurking and learning for a while. I thought it was time to put up some photos of my small collection of pearls. The first pearls that caught my eye were multicolored CFWP, so I bought this necklace. While they aren't perfectly round, I love the...
