    The Pearl Source: Trusted vendor?

    They are often stock photos as often there are a few in stock though so you have to trust the source. I have a few pairs of earrings in my cart for comparison. Some give you a choice of colors like green, gray or peacock. You don't know exactly how the overtones will play over the pearl or even...

    My Natural Pearl Collection

    At 5mm a omc will prbably be more than .5ct depending on the depth but its generally more cushion cut & deeper on the crown so that carries more weight than a typical RBC. Love the old diamonds...Yeah just catching up on old threads...They are all great... I'd keep that ring though..

    "Mikimoto" pearl jewelry on ebay

    Took a look at the original silver pearl pendant. Miki here sells as low as A- so could set A- pearls in silver. Mikis A's look better than those pearls but then again pearls loose alot in photos. I never seem to be able to accurately take photos of pearls true color & luster. I noticed the...

    Is eBay Fraud/Misrepresentation eroding the Reputation and Value of Saltwater Pearls

    Yeah but she could file a negative & ruin my 100 ratiing & ebay might not remove feedback even if she did "damage" it & I was under no obligation to take it back..

    freshwater and diamonds

    Numbers are sometimes total diamond wt...would be .72 ct...not sure if the diamonds are that big..really can't see them well. Looks like maybe 11 dia & they can't be bigger than .05 so it really does not add up to .72... Pearls look nice. Do see the drop is different. That's a standard clasp so...

    Is eBay Fraud/Misrepresentation eroding the Reputation and Value of Saltwater Pearls

    I'm not a pearl expert but I have had lots of jewelry experience. Selling in ebay...well I do just to get some $ to buy other things. No real profit & there are those chances you will lose shipping & have to return something as a buyer did not like it or else they could ruin your rating. Once I...

    LOL.... Rule if its new & called tahitian or south sea & its under $100 or ridilculously then beware. Still does not mean its genuine even if they charge alot but you lose more. I guess thes Chinese could be lied too & told the pearls are not what they really are but if they are showing...

    My Natural Pearl Collection

    Can't go wrong w natural pearls & old mine cut dia...that's a nice white color for an old dia. of about 4.6mm? Pearl maybe 5 or 6 mm? Diamonds & gold are easier to appraise but the price you can actually get is so volitile. Pearls will need a good certificate to realize their potential but...

    My Natural Pearl Collection

    Don;t know how I missed this thread so much to see but love the idea of hanging pearls...Those are great leveback earrings & you can change the pearls. Where did you get the wire with the gold bead on the end? It really is nice for drilled pearls.

    Chipped Pearls

    Trying to work backward to see if a 5ml tube that measures with .1ml lines will be accurate enough for a .6g sample of plat. Looks like it might not be. If I use the formula knowing plat has SG of 21.45 then 21.45 = the min mass dev by .1ml. I get about 2 grams being displces by about .1ml so...

    Mikimoto w/o clasp but tags/box/stamp

    That is the certificate fee so guess they would examine in for authenticity. I don't think they would even examine if if there was no chance of issuing a certificate. I guess I'd want more clarification///

    Chipped Pearls

    OOOOhhh now I get it...I was not even thinking about 10K. Guess its good to get a set of test needles to compare as I don;t want to keep scratching my good plat... I did not test it again yet. sort of just trying to regroup...I did test it twice already. Nor sure why it looked like it failed...
