    Chipped Pearls

    Thanks. I tried acetone & it has no affect. I think they are probably pearls but maybe the nacre was very thin... Hard to get good pictures but the area is pretty big almst 3 1/2 mm X 2mm. Not too deep but deep enough. Appears to be a layer of dirt under the coating on one side. I wonder if...

    Chipped Pearls

    I have these unmarked platinum earrings with a supposed gold south sea pearl from the E place. I dropped an earring on a tile floor & a chunk of ?nacre" chipped off yesterday. At first inspection of damage I saw shiny tiny particles like glitter. There was one today but it does not appear to...

    Where the faint! Glorious white south seas...I need earrings like that!!! Will have to get an appointment with PP. Are they 10 or 11 mm? Hard to tell but they look good on your ears. Mine are a bit maxed at 10mm & truthfully may prefer 9.5 but I guess when you get bigger earrings you get used...

    Different clasps on Mikimoto necklaces .. what do they mean?

    The diamond clasps were generally put on the better strands...I'd like to see a photo. Is it the figure 8 clasp? I've seen a diamond on that one.

    WSS pearl drop pendant- I need your help!!

    That looks like a circle & bet there is a small knob on top of it. Its OK it really doesn't show but should be priced better than a more symetrical pearl. I like the color. The gold pearl does look like a nice color. Just check as I think he's the one that lists alot of his golden as Australian...

    My Gambiers/Mangareva Pearls...it is an obsession.

    Like it with garnet too. To hand a fully drilled pearls one needs a wire with an end peice toc over end hole & then bend & cut aloop for the top? I would prefer a top mounted half drilled but seems most pearls come fully drilled.

    What color do you gravitate to that keeps your T's from getting "lost" in your hair?

    My eyes...my skin... Would too dark not be good? I had dark brown hair then add some silver. Now I am going thru chemo so lost most of it & one never knows as hair grows back different sometimes after chemo. Anyway I'd choose by skin, I want to bring out the greenish parts of my eyes & I like...
