Last post! This one is actually a very old piece, at least ten or so years old and given to me by my mother one day when we were visiting Saks Fifth Avenue. It's a faux pearl since it didn't pass the tooth test and has, what I believe, a sterling silver bail coated in 18k yellow gold. The white...

These next few ones come from a source you won't see people recommend too often: Amazon.com! :p Listed as a "cultured freshwater pearl" it was only ~$22 dollars, it's a nice white-cream color with no blemished to my eyes. Set with a "bunny ear" 14k yellow gold bail and chain. It also came with...

Now for the untreated FW pearls offered by Pearl Paradise earlier this year! (My favorite pearl here is right next to the clasp to the right!)

Talk about super thread resurrection! I finally got around to finish the photos of my peachy pink FW baroque necklace (mentioned in my first post) as well as taking pictures of a few other pearlies I have acquired since then! All of these photos were taken in natural light. More of the FW...

I am SO jealous, Jeremy! It's lovely and awesome...man I want one! ;o;

As much as I loathe spiders in real life these pieces of jewelry are rather cute! If I was getting it I'd be girly and use pink pearls on my spiders, haha. Maybe that'll help me appreciate our eight-legged "friends" :P Golden would be great though, IMO. Def. would stand out!

OKAY! I finally got around to taking some photos of some of my own beaded necklaces I've made over the course of 1-3 years. I do all of these on my own and usually just wing it when it comes to assembly; pick the beads and GO! Haha. #1: Turquoise and Freshwater Pearls The turquoise bead is a...

Wooow :eek: A fantastic necklace for sure! That middle pearl is a stunner.

I recently graduated from college myself and I would've loved some new pearls but it was either that or a new laptop ;) Ah, well, plenty of special occasions down the road ey? Can't wait to see your strand though.

I missed out too, poo! And they were going for such a great price. I'll be waiting until next month if you can get some more available!

This looks like something I'd wear around Christmas time! The color combo really is striking and fashionable.

I dunno...I'm getting a strange sense of karma from these pieces of jewelry from this site. I understand getting rid of your ex's stuff that he/she gave you, but buying it and using it for myself just feels weird o.O Knowing that I have a piece of jewelry from someone where it came from a bad...

Haha! That was an entertaining read :) That looked to be so much fun.

I actually purchased a small freshwater pendant from Amazon.com and it wasn't a bad pearl for the price I found it at. If I remember right it was a single 6mm FWP with 14k yellow gold finding and chain to go along with it. All for ~$24 or so. The listing had no grading for the pearl but I...

Some of the pearls look rather non-round to me as well but I don't think most of us can tell why that is. Did the pearls get banged up a bit? Do some of the pearls have missing nacre to give it the odd shapes? If these were vintage akoya I would think that good roundness would be seen throughout...

Ooh, those pink peals look like fingers! I've seen them on Ebay a lot; those earrings look great though! I bet they're uber fun to wear.

I would -so- wear something like that! Except perhaps more gray...? It looks awesome on you though!

Those are GREAT Jeremy! Ooooh I want some so bad! *bounces* Grats on the winning bid!

Only 100? Dang...I dunno if I'm gonna catch that sale at all if it's during a regular week day! If the exotics were any indication of how fast pearls get snatched up then I'm sunk!

How pretty! I love that drop too! Makes me want one too ;)
