I know I should listen to the news, but I think all I did was look at her pearls. I think she rocked the look for her age, and now I want her necklace. :p :p :p http://time.com/4926285/japan-princess-mako-engagement-royal-title/

Presenting my set which started my rather late pearl journey -- the "smallies". :) These were my mother's, and we don't even know what type of pearls they are (any guesses?). I had them since I was 7, but only wore them during Sunday mass and some formal celebrations like weddings. I...

beautiful strands! i don't own a tahitian yet; I am dark haired and I think they won't show up nicely on me. maybe I should give it a try...

Hahahaha! Nice one! But the oyster might go "Bleh, yuck!" on that 10 year old pearl leftover and find a way to chuck it out of its system! ;) :P

Thanks Pearl Dreams! I'll try and mix in maybe some coral beads, or maybe something blue, and see how it goes. Wish me luck! :) Beautiful enhancer you got there, Newberry! :)

Hello again, @Jersey Pearl & Pearl Dreams: here it is... or what's left of it. Well, we did manage to get most of it. It was a 16-in single strand necklace with a small pendant in the middle. I'm not really a strand person, and well, I recently got a second wind appreciation for pearls...

Oooh, right on time! I don't know what to do with a rice pearl necklace that got snapped in two (an unfortunate incident that included a toddler -- mine). It was my mother's and although I never really used it, I feel that a restoration/reuse is in order. Maybe I'll use it more frequently in...

They look like my future stud earrings... just wishful thinking! :) Thanks, great read!

Those strands are gorgeous! I'm still slowly building my own collection; heck I don't even have a basic white studs! Until then, I am happy to live vicariously through all of you. :P

Hello there, me again! :) I got attracted to certain designs like the Paspaley Lavaliere and PP's Embrace pendants; the uneven 2-pearl lariat necklaces and Jewelmer's charms are kinda cute as well. However, these got me thinking: won't the gold scratch the pearls? Especially since the pearls...

Saw this today... and I totally want one!!! https://www.pearlparadise.com/collections/harvest-strands I'm not really a strand person so I don't know how to wear them, nor where to wear them... and boy, they are long! Must be heavy! But they are soooo beautiful! Has anyone got this?

Hi there, newbie here. For its age, the pearls are still very beautiful! A lot of love must have gone to caring for the necklace! Might be worth popping over to Mikimoto with the certificate, and see how it goes. Best case, it is, you can have it restrung and buy a Mikimoto clasp to go...

Thanks for the love, everyone! It's week 2 and I think I'm starting to like the size of my studs, hahaha! There should be a warning somewhere that says "Warning: Pearls are addictive and are dangerous for your financial health". Because now I want white pearl studs as well! :P @Katalin...

Thanks for the welcome and the kind words, much appreciated. I am still doubting my choice of size, but your comments made me feel a lot better about this. This morning, some colleagues asked if I had dinner plans later since they think I'm dolled up. (Ans. None!) Uhm, I am wearing a white...

Hello there, Forum newbie here... so how did I end up here? :) I was happily wearing my small 2mm cluster pearl earrings (which I owned since I was 7) when a colleague at work approached me in the wash room, genuinely showed concern and asked why was I wearing my daughter's pearls. She...
