Wooow. You can totally see the camera lens in those pearls! I bet they look even better in real life.

Thank you, Jeremy! <3

Ooh. Those pearls ended up being a great buy, IMO. They look great :) Grats!

I cannot wait to see more of these available! :D They look wonderful in their untreated forms and grats to all who got a pretty strand. Keep 'em coming, Jeremy!

Yeah, they are. I haven't heard Swarovski selling any cultured pearls before but their glass pearls are very shiny and pretty. The seller here is just probably using the term Tahitian for the size of the pearls and their colors but who knows.

No comment on the prices, indeed! They're certainly out of this world; seriously collectors with significant dough will shell it out for these babies. Can't say I'm too fond of any of them besides the earrings but they are interesting ;) Good find.

Good job, indeed :) Although, since some of us here have pointed out their dishonesty, how can we point out that their products really are Akoya as well and not just slapping on a new popular name to their pearls? Oh, well, at least we've done something good about it anyway by scaling down their...

Wow, you're right, they are very similar. They're nice strands but I'd prefer a Tahitian or golden SS baroque instead even if they are more expensive! :p

Can I have one? ;o;! Those are gorgeous!

Those are very pretty pearls you're showing us, perlas! Mind telling us where you got them?

There is one ebay seller I frequently look at, known as wildflower_hill, which is a store managed by a woman named Cindy. She sells a variety of beads as well as plenty of freshwater strands which, from my experience, are attractive and pretty for beading. A lot of what she sells are dyed but I...

Hey Caitlin! Travis and I have the good fortune of having a clear (although a little windy) day today with no snow. We were able to travel to Golden without my trouble, even though we've never been to Golden, and got into the show for free (no admission, whoo!) so I doubt any sort of liscense is...

I do understand what you're saying, even though it is rather selfish. I was hoping to open this up for people so they would have at least a little help when surfing Ebay. That's a pretty nifty link there, Kathleen. I'll be sure to bookmark it myself ;) In any case, what Ebay sellers I find...

25,000$ for a strand of keishi? For real? Ouch...no thanks on that one! I'd rather use that money for a year of my university tuition! :eek: I'm still trying to figure out how to eye pearls to see what to look for as far as quality; it certainly isn't easy in the beginning. Usually I like to...

ferdinand kinda went poof, didn't he? :o Maybe he'll come back offering another type of pearl, hmm? ;P

I just wanted to add in that, out of all the baroques I've seen, Tahitians are always the best as far as color is concerned. The peacock color variation is very pretty indeed, but I've always been a bit fond of the ones with a more green-ish color (green is my favorite color, afterall ;)).

So! I just found out today through my geology grad and undergrad mailing list that this show, sponsored by the Denver Gem and Mineral Guild, is happening this weekend at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. Too bad there's a chance it'll snow but my boyfriend Travis has offered to take me to Golden...

Hello everyone :) In a previous thread I offered up the idea that maybe we as members at the Pearl-Guide forums ought to hanker down and name what Ebay sellers we have found worthy of trust and possessed honesty. If anyone has any names to offer up or remember finding success in purchasing...

I've also been meaning to purchase something from http://www.pearlparadise.com because I really find what they have to offer to be exceptional, mostly from the testamonials of others on the forum and by surfing the website. I've been tempted to get into the freshwater items available, like a...

I think a great idea would for all of us who have shopped on EBay and found good, genuine (or at least decent) products and sellers ought to make a list of names or shops. I've seen a number of members mention that they've found such-and-such seller and were happy and so forth, so why not share...
