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

    Oh no ending! Hard to tell the difference in the 2 in photos. The lighter one did pop more. I'm having the same dilemna picking a color. I'm thinking anything with purple will please me. Aubergine is just different. I like some green & teal too. I have a sort of black with mild peacock & a...

    Here's another, but this time I honestly have no idea. Tahitian or not?

    He issued a return lablel & I got a refund no ? asked. I really don;t think he knew anything & I'm stillnot sure if it could have been rhodium plated & done that. It was not 8.5mm was my biggest irk as I bought it for the pearls. It was very cheap at $26... I don;t like to ruin a sellers rep...

    Ebay Chinese Pearl Buying Adventure Part 2

    Hmmmm I didn't test the white gold that stuck to the magnet but the seller took it back. Looked like the acid held on your stone at 10K? Some 14 is 13.5 or so the acid test fails. I think we need 13K acid. Platinum is hard to scratch but just so you know stainless can pass the platinum test...

    Yep...only store credit at the Mki store. I bought a A1 pearl strand. Noticed it had some pearls with holes near the drill hole. I was also concerned the nacre was thin.

    Here's another, but this time I honestly have no idea. Tahitian or not?

    In ebay dealings I generally ask if the item pictured is the same one the for sale. Still they could lie. Ebay is pretty good when something is not as described but I'm afraid you willbe out of luck trying to prove it unless you pay for an expensive appraisal & its just not feasible if the price...

    Tahiti natural fancy colour sets

    Great size for a strand! I am under 5 foot tall so not looking for huge pearls...Colors are amazing! That is a rainbow trand but they compliment each other. Hmmmm true about the .8mm so far...I guess .8mm on a smaller pearl is same as or bettert than .8mm on a larger pearl as more nacre % of...

    Tahiti natural fancy colour sets

    I don't want big///10mm max for earrings...9.5mm ideal.. I did like some 8.5 mm from a reputable source but why would anyone cultivate a small tahitian & would the nacre be more on a slightly larger pearl such as 9 or 10mm? I really want to stay bet 9 to 10mm.

    Tahiti natural fancy colour sets

    I like with purple overtones but the bases can be different. I want to mae an appointment with PP as they are somewhat local. I thought I wanted as dark as possible base tone but purple loks nice on a greyish base too but gray tones don;t look well against my skin. Purple with peacock or...

    Tahiti natural fancy colour sets

    OOOOOhhh they look like candy....Anything with purple would be great...I just can see a few pairs might be necessary!!! LOL Eggplant/ Aubergine Peacock/ Teal w purple!!! I like the purple as it tends to bring out the green/ olive color of my eyes. Bright Green tends to make my eyes look more...

    Here's another, but this time I honestly have no idea. Tahitian or not?

    They could have been off round/ baroques too. Most people don;t think natural when sellign a strand. If the jewelry shows its pre 1915 then its very likely it is natrual pearls if they were not switched out. Natual pearls were always expensive. If I recall in early 1900s someone traded a...

    Tahiti natural fancy colour sets

    Hmmmm...That one on the bottom left is singing in color but maybe its its sizr that's popping out. I'm looking for pearls for earrings in the 9.5 to 10 mm size for my ears but I would imagine a larger pearl really would show the color better. I wish there was a color chart for tahitians as I'd...

    The 7 strand natural pearls that sold for over 9 millions $ in Geneva yesterday

    Wow, it must be nice to see all those fine jewels but bittersweet when you know you can't take some home. I don't know what I'd do with a 50 ct diamond. Most likely you would need a safe. Elizabeth Taylor wore her huge 33 ct Krupp asscher cut diamond ring a gift from Richard Burton all the...
