Gosh...now I'm spoiled... all my white pearls except for Miki & unknown "gray"which maybe are tahitians are least 50 years old. Serious pearl depression here.

Checked Cees but did not see much in earrings just too big 11/ 12 mmish greens & the pics were too small to see any overtones. I'm not looking for a strand but your strand looks nicer. OOOh & no prices listed.

Just did a SG test with a balance that measures to .001g. Funny the plat sample is coming in at 12 SG which is the SG of palladium!!! or 10K white gold but its passing 18K on acid & electronic tester which pd would but 10K would not... PD & PT are now just about $30 gram each no no real value...

Amazing strand & the colors look great on you. I guess I always thought they had to be matched but after seeing those its like fireworks so much better with all the colors! Congrats! Note to self///add another vendor to list...

Thanks everyone... I miss my hair & its far from this now... The 7mm in 14k white gold were $50 & are nice old prob 1960/70's earring with decent color & luster. I like th eolder as they came with nice thick cluch backs not like the thin bendable flimsy ones that adorn most avg earrings...

Wow...the implications. I looked up alcohol & they say 70% even drinking alcohol does kills virus including hep A & B. I really am taken aback by this & have bought vintage earrings forever. The question is if any of these can live on gold for a extended period & why alcohol or a solution made...

OOOhhhhhh....Thats not good...I thought alcohol would kills many things...OK I have f10 for bird clean up. It kills bacteria & viruses. I also have phystan for plants & its a really nasty virucide...plus allthe others. Guess there is strong bleach too. I have to be careful as I am on chemo &...

Been eyeing a few pairs of t earring pearls...He shows a row of pearls with up to 15 pairs all numbered. Yet each # pearl can be ordered in more than one pair so he has alot of pairs in that size color so its not the pearl in the photo. Was not sure if I picked a pearl with a nice smooth skin &...

I asked them what it was like on the back & for a picture & they never got back to me but in all fairness I asked over the weekend & the listing ended early Monday morning. Anyway I could not stay up for the auction & had gone to bed only a few hours before it ended so I missed it. Not sure how...

Did I hear purple....ooohhhh////:o

Do you have the eastern brown snake in your area? Its one of the most venomous snakes in the world! Some say 2nd most venomous! http://snake-facts.weebly.com/eastern-brown.html Funny Story well maybe after the fact... My parents have them on the farm...Nasty agressive snakes with about a half...

Thanks Jeremy, I never thought much about the SKU but its good to consider that too. A single strand would need more number details to be recognised in inventory. I generally see how many they will let you put in the cart then I know how many they have. I would be hesitant with international...

Nature is nice but flies, mosquitos, ticks, leaches, pirhana, fleas, snakes, crocs, & so many other things love to mess with its enjoyment. Stay safe & enjoy!

Rare? Good? Certainly could be 9.1mm? How would one tell the difference with gold south sea? I got a pair of really peachy colored pearls about 7mm awhile back & have them to my Mom. Guess they could be freshwater too? I guess I just thought they were off color but they were really golden...
