$2,250 for 9mm SSP stud earrings?? :eek: Good thing you found this forum!

Your girlfriend is a lucky lady ;) You mentioned that she would want white pearl ring, so it's better to stick with that. And for something like engagement ring, I think white pearl is more suitable than other pearl color. I'm sending you private message for some suggestions. And Sea Urchin...

Thank you for sharing! You're also the one who posted on pricescope about Yokota hanadama. The pearls look so pretty that my friend who was looking for Akoya immediately contacted Yokota about it :o

I sent them question regarding the different in prices of their Hanadama. And here is their response: "Thank you for your question. We are glad to hear that you're checking our products. The price differences mean quality differences. Actually, Pearl Science Laboratory's Hanadama grade is not...

Well... If majabali really wants to know about the pearls, all he has to do is just ask... The pearls are already drilled, pick one of them and check for nucleus with a loupe. He can find the answer he wants easily.

Caitlin, that's a very good reply from you, great work as usual! Majabali could have been misinformed about the pearls, but it's seller's responsibility to find out what exactly the products they are selling and describe it truthfully. They admitted they're not experts, but why got so defensive...

You mentioned about Agustus, and this baroque is 20mm+ in length http://www.ebay.com/itm/GIANT-Bi-color-SOUTH-SEA-BAROQUE-PEARL-Aru-Island-20-mm-/170859597314?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c8068e02 and reasonably priced. I haven't done/sourced giant baroques before, but from my experience...

The listing has been removed, someone must have notified the seller. When I was in Lombok about a year ago, I was constantly surrounded by pearl sellers everytime I walked on the beach. However, none of them claimed their pearls to be south sea pearls, they even admit the pearls to be imported...

The necklace is very beautiful, the color looks lovely. Lucky owner! Joyful Grow, if the pearls are not Edison, what would they be?

Many things to cover.. Please correct me if I'm wrong. - South Sea pearls are not Tahitians - correct, SSP's mollusk is Pinctada Maxima while Tahitian's is Pinctada Margaritafera. - South Sea Pearls are cultured in both Australia and China and perhaps smaller southeast nations - SSP are...

Adeline, the pearls are so beautiful! I'm looking forward to Avi's picture too.

It's Tyler Durden, I believe. I agree with Jeremy, or maybe the writer used article spinner software to create "new" article and submitted it to promote his website (notice the hyperlinked words towards the end). This is common practice among internet marketers, but the article is highly...

I saw some really pink SSP on a fair last year, it was big size too 14mm+ and very beautiful... which sadly I didn't take a picture of. Don't know if there are enough of them out there to make a strand, possibly only for a mixedcolor strand. Pinkish white ones are less rare, and I personally...

Need to know the size first.. They could be south sea pearls, but don't seem to be good quality ones based on that picture. What makes you doubt them?

Considering the good enough loose pearls you've received, so I think there's potential to make a good strand. I don't know why they chose worse pearls instead for most of the pearls in the strand... this makes me want to fly to China and handpick the pearls myself, lol. And that's good you've...

Ivona, I'm sorry to hear about that. I'm curious about the strand though, other than the flaws on the backside, are the color and luster very different from the picture they sent you? I've been looking for this kind of pearls as well, since pearls are very hard to photograph, it makes it harder...

Adeline, I just bought a lightbox and yes I can confirm you that it does brighten a lot and intensify the orient. I took pic of a Chinese Kasumi necklace and was confused how different it looks compared to when it's under natural light. I ended up photoshopping a lot of it to correct the color...

It's news for me too. Unless those are dyed South Sea pearls, I don't know how they can come from Australia.. Probably the experts can share something about this. Anyway, the necklace looks stunning!

The golden pearl is 11.7mm and the one in my avi is an oval 14x16mm. I think pearl around 12mm will make quite a showy ring but not over the top (I've seen people with 15mm and above pearl ring). If you like golden pearl, then go with it. But I do think golden pearls are tricky because of many...
