    My new Tahitians Stud earrings!

    Superb match & pearls. Never did get to get up to PP a few years back & then time went in. Now with the mask things have changed. I took my only pair of 10-10.3mm tahitians (?) out of the vault. They have the mecan clasp backs. A good strong earring setting or pushback is a must with the mask...

    Kamoka Pearls featured on NPR segment!

    Thanks, nice article & hope Josh & Kamoka are doing OK. A dream would be to have a pair of Kamoka studs...maybe someday. Nice to know they are using the old shells to make shell nucleus.

    Is this pearl Akoya? I am not sure?

    Ohhh... I feel better about it now. I myself do love a bargain & I think she was very happy I accepted the offer. I just know you could not even buy the materials let alone make the ring...I about recouped what I paid as when I got it a prong needed to be rebuilt & the pearl resecured so that...

    Is this pearl Akoya? I am not sure?

    Yeah, but it stings...Sort of like it was stolen but $100 scrap or $150 cash guess its a bit better as long as there are no problems with the sale...Always that chance. I can really use the money though rather than the ring sitting locked in the vault which is not good for pearls... I have...

    Is this pearl Akoya? I am not sure?

    Well, I sold it...Hopefull it will be enjoyed & have a new lease on life. I still have to get tahitians for my earring settings & I have not bought pearls in a while but I am now leaning toward Tahitians & Australian White SS if I could ever afford.

    Is this pearl Akoya? I am not sure?

    I have had this ring listed for over 6 months & was going to remove it as I will be going away for a few weeks & did not want it to sell while I was gone. Then next day I get a real low offer of $175 for a 4 gram white gold ring with 6 small diamonds. The pearl is about 8.3 to 8.5mm. It's...

    Pearl ring - would you keep it? Thoughts?

    I'm Back!!!! I'm Back!!!! I too am a platinum snob & once bought a pair of 9.3mm gold south seas or who knows what they are in plat as 5 jewelers & my extensive tests really were not conclusive... Anyway one earring dropped & the nacre chipped so I could not return them. I will probably put a...

    Hi, Newbie here with a Pearl Question

    Not sure when my grandmother on my mothers side was born but thought 1900 ...& she almost made it to 98. She could have had natural pearls from her mother but only pearls I remember her having were a nice large long strand of mikimoto she got in the early 70's when my uncle came back from...

    Hi, Newbie here with a Pearl Question

    Cool...horizontal lines/ banding like that are from the shell nucleus they used to culture the pearl. In older times even 18K was set with synthetic stones & just because its 18K does not in itself guarantee anything. If you can positively say they are from before 1956 then they are not ssp's...

    Is this South Sea Pearls?

    Not sure if they are ssp or still could be freshwater. Definitely button but seem to have decent luster. Price would not be good for freshwater & seems high for buttons but did not note the size. Its alot of money for specualation if you dont trust the source. I'd think I'd stick the reputable...
