As someone who sold jewelry, I could not understand women who would fork over thousands of dollars for a Chanel necklace that is made of base metal and bad fake pearls. Yet when you show them a quality piece of jewelry about the same price, they'll complain that it is too expensive. That drove...

Are Coco Chanel's pearls cultured or faux? Most of the Chanel jewelry you see paired with the clothing lines are all faux pearls. Just wondering if the faux pearls were a modern thing or based on some historical precedence.

Oooh, an Aussie Ruckus. That would be fun.

I do love turquoise and pearls together. Sounds like you could have lots of fun with all the gemstone beads you have.

Truly stunning piece. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Great photos!! Do those shells wash up on the beach like that??

I would think the size you choose should be in line with your style and your personality. I'm 5'2" and I have a strand of baroque SS pearls that are 9 to 13 mm and I still covet a larger strand (someday...) A good example is Nancy Pelosi, she's tiny and she wears very large pearls. If you're...

I'd really think twice about buying Tiffany products from Ebay. There are just too many counterfiters up there. From the pictures, the box looks authentic, but they don't show the pearl folder, and that clasp looks sketchy to me. It must be a really old strand because I believe the current...

How I wish to visit French Polynesia again. If only to witness a harvest. How special that you did get to see those beautiful pearls being "birthed"!

Welcome to the Guide! Your blog is great. I do love my memories of Marutea as well. Truely a magical place.

What a shame. You'd think the farm owners could sue the boaters for negligence.

I could have sworn that Hanaleimom has a strand of something like that. Or at least has posted a picture of one from one of her many Pearl trips. I have to say I do love a mixed strand of tahitians, pastel or vibrant!

my fave is the second Luster Award winner. I would so wear those earrings. ; )

What fabulous pearls! And that toggle is just gorgeous! Your avatar is very intriguing. Do you have a bigger picture to share?

I'm with you ladies, the bigger the better. And when it comes to big pearls, Sheri you are my hero!

I also found it interesting Nick's comment about Americans not understanding pearls. I tend to agree but I think that is changing in the US Luxury market.
