    Curious Ad from American Pearl

    This is how print media operates, from what I've seen. There may be more formalities at behemoth publications, not sure. Media credit belongs to the person with the pen, the mouse or the camera in his/her hand, or whoever bought the rights. I've bent over backwards to get stated permission to...

    Very nice! Did you say what you used for knotting? Silk? Multiple strands?

    Curious Ad from American Pearl

    Speaking of styles and trademarking, is it really possible that One Pearl has registered its "contrasting pearl design"? http://www.onepearl.com/

    Are these really South Sea Baroques?

    That's all kinds of odd. I wonder if that seller is laundering money because their product list screams counterfeit. They only have 9 sales feedbacks from the last 90 days, and the "now-canceled high budget motion picture project" explanation seems unlikely. Perhaps a businessperson can back...

    Fast growing oysters in Marutea-Sud

    Hybridization opportunity and/or genetic engineering fodder, anyone? Giant pearls! :)

    Hillary Wearing a Serious Set of South Seas at Her Confirmation

    Pearls also aren't as good for the red carpet because, as we know, they can be challenging to photograph. Unless starlets love pearls, they have little incentive to wear real ones-- It's hard to be sure at that distance. Politicians are more likely to be speaking to others individually for part...

    Silver Kamokas

    Wow-- I love silver Tahitians/grey pearls in general. Those are excellent! Also on your silver "Ooh/Aah" list: http://www.pearlescence.co.uk/product_info.php/cPath/129/products_id/1982

    Hillary Wearing a Serious Set of South Seas at Her Confirmation

    Very true, and one other thing-- I don't think most people a) notice her jewelry or b) have any idea what they cost if they do. Perhaps I'm underestimating the average pearl knowledge base, but I believe most folks on the street think "fake" long before they think "conspicuous consumption" when...

    Hillary Wearing a Serious Set of South Seas at Her Confirmation

    All this may well get pulled because folks keep it apolitical around here, but I can't help myself: Clinton was the first female partner at the third oldest law firm in the United States. She is a formidable legal scholar and has earned the right to wear things she enjoys. Rabbits come and go...

    Interesting Article out of Australia this Morning

    I know they have to reconcile any change in prices with production and the bottom line, but is it possible that a compromise in price might be good for demand in the medium-long term? I'm not sure what percentage of middle-upper class consumers even knew they should be wanting SSP, though brick...

    Photo Shoot Pictures - PG Model!

    I don't think pics that might set buyers up for surprise or disappointment are acceptable around here. ;) I really like quite a few in the 332-366 range, and also the Tahitians. The white ropes are great-- the earring photos are too. It's hard to pick! Gorgeous girl and gorgeous pearls! :)...

    My box just ARRIVED!!

    I'm usually a rip the package sort, but with pearls, I wait a few hours sometimes. I enjoy the anticipation and I'm usually a little nervous... almost as if I'm about to meet someone I think I might love. :)

    Incredible Melo Melo Pearl, or, The Pearl That Ate New York City!

    Gorgeous-- it's exactly the color of butterscotch amber, but the chatoyance is unlike anything I've seen from a naturally occurring bead or gem.

    power pro runs in red and yellow colors. Don't use them.

    That's a good idea-- that was and may again be a rosary, hence the bigger rounds mixed in, but minute rubies, quartz, garnets etc. would be aesthetically appropriate and would make it look more like a reflection than a stain if any showed.
