    Your Opinion Please! First pearls purchase

    Thanks CrazyMissy! I checked out your strand, so gorgeous! Also, I barely even noticed the uneven surfaces until I started to look for them when reading your post. It seems like the luster hides alot! Am starting to realise that going for perfectly round may not be a big deal since it's...

    Hi Amti! I was trying to find the price points for GSSP haha - to see if I might have "overpaid". She says increasing demand has been driving up prices for Myanmar's GSSPs :( I completely agree on the GSSP grade - too many fish bites (albeit clustered and thus fairly hidden) to be an AAA or...

    Your Opinion Please! First pearls purchase

    That's true... most first purchases of other things as well - luxury bags, shoes - turn out to be a waste when you realize your style is actually different. I may do what you've done then, and save the big ticket purchases for those sales, now that I've got at least some idea of what T's and...

    KarinK your strands are beautiful!!! Really love the GSSPs and your akoyas... will have to save up though! You also have alot of patience. I kind of want everything at once and also have an irrational fear that prices will go up.

    Your Opinion Please! First pearls purchase

    Hi KarinK, I think she is honest but I don't think she's very established yet, and don't know her own level of expertise, so in the case of say, the WSS pendant, I am wondering whether she herself got a FWP passed off to her by her supplier (though it seems unlikely). We transacted physically...
