From another personal perspective, I do not participate in PG as much as I used to because I have moved on from my "pearls" phase. I still have jewellery projects involving pearls, however, they are specific items that are unlikely to be found off the shelf that easily. Also, they are big...

I have fond memories of the time when PP had a baroque Tahitian necklace sale a good few years ago, and a number of us rushed to PG to post about which strand(s) we managed to bag. Happy days! DK :)

I too use clear mascara on my eyebrows. DK :)

Ooer, a new to her tiara as far as I can remember!!! She has some very nice pearl chokers with gorgeous clasps for certain. DK :)

I have been active on PG a lot longer than I have been on PS, and started as a lurker on PS long before they finally decided to have a section dedicated for Pearls. I frequent both nowadays, and tend not to venture into the Pearls section on PS unless a subject matter catches my eyes. To me...

Thanks for the pics, good timing as I am thinking about setting a Tahitian drop I purchased in a insect brooch design with coloured gemstones. DK :)

I love the birdies!!! DK :)

My two pearl rings, one Tahitian the other SSP. Don't know the size of the pearls, however, I believe the Tahitian is a 12mm and the SSP is larger at 13mm or more. I have small hands with chubby/chunky fingers, so small delicate rings look insignificant on my hands. DK :)

I guess the photographer was more interested in capturing the diamonds on the bangle than the pearls! DK :)

TDF brooch, thanks for sharing! DK :)

I started my collection with rice crispies many years ago, and still have some of the ones I made for myself somewhere. DK :)

My personal preference is blues and greens, and like No. 1, 2 and 4 in the first strip, starting from the right, No. 2 being my favourite of the lot. Of the two pearls in the second and third card, I prefer the smaller one on the right, as it looks nicer to my eyes in terms of colour and...

It's a lovely piece, thanks for sharing. DK :)

Cute ring and congratulations to Hisano. DK :)

The long drop-shaped pearl will make an excellent bug (butterfly or a queen bee) pendant or brooch! DK :)

I would love the ring and the bracelet if they were in white gold, personal preference, of course. DK :)

Concur with the others about getting the largest size pearls one can afford. I would opt for a necklace, plus a pair of earrings in a larger size, and drop the bracelet (I personally prefer to wear a watch and a couple of non-pearl bracelets on my wrists). How about a strand of lariat style...

Stunning pearl, however, the setting is not for me unless it is in white gold. DK :)

Congratulation to Hisano! Note to self: one to add to shopping list: a baroque SSP gas giant to be given similar alteration, possibly with multi-colour tiny diamonds. DK :)

The shape of the pearls (some noticeably "potato" in shape), the appearance of the surface imperfections that could be observed, and the unevenness of the colours amongst the pearls, made me come to the same conclusion as pattye, and she has seen and handled a lot more pearls than I have. Good...
