Are the green stones Tsarvorite? The ring is amazing. I watched the Utopia video. Gorgeous. What is Utopia background as designers. Many of the pieces were enchanting.

Of course, I am soooo stupid. I should have thought of that. I was thinking of Chinese businesses that buy Tahitian pearls, blah, blah, blah. I totally agree. Thank you for your correction. Bluidragon.

Wow, a lot of information. I need to keep this writing as the information is Written so I can understand. Thank you.

When you state don't buy Tahitian pearls from China, why? Are thinking of the cultured pearls that with a lack of nacre? On-line china pearls we do see on Ebay? Or in general?

Anne and her mother who locate pearls and then design the piece around the pearls are returning to Washington, DC in December. By then I may have collected a few pennies and dimes to acquire another piece. They had two round matching gold south sea pearls that were 17 mm and without drill...

I saw this piece as well. My husband said that I would probably wear this more often but .... I don't like to wear pins as I again am scared it will fall off. I can contact the designer if you like? I know they will be at the San Francsico gem show.

OMG! After reading this I am almost sick. At christmas I was tempted to buy from them.... When I mentioned I am a member of Pearl Guide Forum, I got an Ear full.... I begged off.

It is 18 it gold, diamond ~ 8.5 ct. , Color F-G, VS1 on the necklace.

Okay, I am learning. What suggests that this is the second from the an oyster? What is it you are observing ? I do love the color. I know you are an expert but you people know so much. I am sur part is from schooling and other is from long experience in the business. But again how would a...

You are sooo great to answer the question. I swear before I put down enough to buy a heater and a car I want to have an idea from the expert. I wish I could take you shopping with me.....oh, I am sorry , I do. I learn a lot from from this forum.

No ,I did not know. Where is the showroom? Do they have showrooms in D.C. . I would love to visit and speak with experts on the subject before buying pearls.

What are you basing your opinion? The orient? I am trying soooo hard to learn. I looked at the hole...., then I looked at the color. Why not a silver nitrate dip? Not to be in conflict but from reading and looking...... Please reply. I suppose I am a devils advocate trying to understand...

These are reputable pearl website. Is there a conflict of interest when a consultant owns a website?

All the senior consultants I have read encourage buyers to see the pearls first hand. Since then I go to jewelry stores and check out the pearls. Then....I take pictures and send them to the forum... The forum tends to be my second and third eyes. I know many people go to pearl paradise...

Look at the drill hole and see if you notice dye. I think the Pearl was probably dyed.

I do not think I put my eye color into consideration when choosing a pearl. I think of skin tone first.

I always wanted to see the inside of a cultured pearl. Fifty percent nacre is high. Duh! Was it dyed?

Is 44,000 USD an appropriate amt. to pay? The other pearls ranged in size from 20-11m. I want to know before I ask my husband:cool:

I bought a Gold/platinum SSP. . It is 15x15.8 mm. One occlusion on the back. I have a question, would the nucleus of this size pearl I bought be more than half the size of the Pearl? I watched the video on Kamoko pearl farming that stated nucleus'sof SSP tend to be anywhere from6-9 mm . That is...

To bed! No, probably to a conference , dinner out and with some friends. I did not buy it as I wanted the forum' insight to what the seller was telling me. Now I have a better idea that the seller was in fact telling me the truth to best of her knowledge .
