Ebay sale ///it was paypal funded by Bank of America Credit card. I'm pretty much stuck with them but I want to be sure they are at least cultured pearls & platinum as if they are not I have a case for a price adjustment. $20 is not enough to cover the difference bet a 9mm or 10mm pearl. There...

I wrote the seller who thinks all of her pearls are south seas... The earrings are not 18 K but 14K... Hi, I have reported copper colored scratches on settings & sent photos previously. I had the earrings tested. I asked prior to buying what the mark on the earring screw was I was told it was...

Hmmmmm.... I guess I'm not worried about the chipped pearl at this point so boiling water could be an option. Isn't rubbing alcohol bad for pearls? I would think its like hairspray. I may have paint thinner & goo be gone I could try as the pearl is chipped anyway but I;d rather not hurt it as...

Now its not the pearls that are my main concern. The plat may not be platinum...It does not hold under the acid like my other platinum/.. If its not plat its not worth anything to me. The small screw backs are .3 gram each so it could be as its pretty heavy for the size of a backing. Earrings...

Wow...pink respirator... Thanks everyone...I can buy attack on ebay if it will come soon enough. Don't really have a jewekry supply house close by, I would love to look at pearls at PP but it takes 2 weeks to get an appointment. I left a msg 1 1/2 weeks ago for a call back but have not heard...

Sometimes you have to pay for the quality. There are so many older so so strands around. Mikimoto if well kept are really stunning compared to the average strand. Even my 60 YO A+ strand is very nice & I paid alot for it too sight unseen so it was chancey but its unique as it a large 5.1mm to...

Well even if the guy was wrong it would have been nice to have a certificate saying they were fake. I could at least get $300 back rather than spending it all on fake earrings. I may go back when the wife is there & not tell her about what her husband said. He did not want to do the appraisal &...

Wow...amazing gold strand!!! Luster!!!! Green overtones...amazing... What is an eiko? They look real...but seems I have a poor eye for pearls.

Guess I got lucky I got my certficate when I did...not much else luck though. Restringing & certificate were reasonable 12 years ago. I just found my receipt!!!!+ Beverly Hills Miki... $60 to restring a 20 in & appraisal certificate was $50!!!!! 2/24/05 Bargain!!!! Cream/ Silver A+ 8.8 to...

Wow, Guess it could be $200 for a certificate now. I had my vintage strand restrung at Miki & had the certficate issued at samet time in 2005. I was sort of forced into the A 16 in strand in 2005 as I had bought a A- thinking it was of good quality for about $1800. The luster was greenish &...

Yeah, as long ss they are platinum then I paid full new price for the settings. I dragged myself to Ventura Blvd like the walking dead. The 2nd chemo has drained me... Stopped into the Diamond & Jewelry Gallery on Ventura Blvd & whittsett in Studio city. Walked out with my mouth open...

Gosh my post got deleted.... I'll try to be brief as want to try to take them around some more. Private seller. Said 10 plus mm gssp platinum settings Said she Paid $750 from an estate sale. They are 9 to top 9.2mm weird yellow sometimes champagne & platinum did pass the acid test but...

Wow....blinding!

Pretty esp w clasp n front. Sometimes they looked yellowish. Think I'd call them more champagne. ITs hard to know if these old pearls darkened over time or if they were just unbleached akoya. Who's to say how much beaching was done to make the white. It must not be good for the pearl. Gave my...

Ohhh treasyre chest of pearly goodies... Sorry about the cankles...I always had thin ankles...Maybe too thin for my liking or maybe my calves are just too big...LOL. They are still thin ankles... Wrist is now a whopping 5 3/4 inches but used to be smaller. Fingers got thicker too so glad I...

Nice!!! Its got the hanging M so its a more modern piece. Miki will issue a certificate & appraise the pearls for about $75...well that was over 10 years ago...but its nice to have a certificate. Mine is a A+ w silver clasp from the 60's... I bought a A 7mm strand in 2005, I think they...

I don't have an appointment with PP. Left a msg last week ago but no call back & then I had chemo this week so did not persue. I got them June 17 so there is time. These pearls started out as a nightmare. USPS had entered a online notice that they were left at the building with some individual...

Inside does look the same...arrrgh...I really can't guage the depth of it. You can feel it with your nail but its pretty thin.... Maybe .1 mm to .15mm? Why dirty line under the nacre? Guess dirt could be in the oyster when it is making a pearl?
