finally have my photos...... last two are artificial and then natural light (sorry, can't take selfies by the window, can't see). love how my cats always try to "help"...... lol

yah, I really do love it (and yeah, the lustre on some of the pearls is what made me hope it was natural too, plus the shapes of the larger pearls just didn't look "baroque cultured" to me......gosh, got a lot to learn!). but for $300 I think it may be too much (especially considering how many...

hi, thanks for the welcome back! no, not been lurking, was off buying gold rather than pearls, lol (I was being "good" in theory, not in practice). found a few neat Victorian pieces I'll post on the non-pearl chat. well, I found one "for sure" cultured pearl, nacre chipped off, can see the...

hi guys! I hope everyone is well. I've been "good", no jewellery for a while, lol. I wondered if I could get your opinion on this strand please! i picked it up on-line, came from the UK (it did say "natural" in the listing but I didn't put much stock in that of course). it is 22" long, and...

I love these plain simple ones, with no cap (and I really dig the oversized bail with smaller pearls. Bail, not BALE, duh.). These are all Stuller.....

Hey Caitlin, Pattye, Ramona! Thanks for the good wishes! Yah, my bones don't like me much, they're always trying to escape! :p Blaire, those are yummy! Too bad you didn't get them...... Black diamonds sound like a perfect pairing with Kamoka keshi's, yes, will have to see the photos...

Hi Wendy! Yah, that kind of thing, exactly! Although I'm thinking maybe just top-drill, and add a hanger, just in case I ever want to break it up into individual pieces (everyone says I should try to sell some things, I might try it......). I always think they look a little daintier if they...

Blair! Of course! Hello again, nice to talk to you! Yes, even though I said "NO MORE PEARLS!" I still let myself look for Cortez pearls after I got back from my trip to Mexico, right on the Baja - Cabo San Lucas - and I couldn't find any Cortez pearls there! Good story though, I went into a...

Oh my god, it HAS been awhile! I forgot how to POST (accidentally posted this three times!). Forgive me all! (and GemGeek, my gosh I can't recall your real name! So sorry! I'm so embarrassed!). Yes, they're just so TINY, it scares me to have them drilled. I DO think they would look so...

]Hi guys! Again, it's been awhile (I literally had to stop reading this forum, was spending too much on pearls!). Buuuut........ I couldn't resist when I saw some Cortez keshi's for sale, so I snapped them up! Of course, the pearling world being so small, when I Googled "Sea of Cortez keshi"...

hmmmm- yeah, have to see it in real life. hard to tell from a CAD rendering what it would really end up looking like..... (love how it looks like it has an internal light inside it in the drawing though! lol i'd like one with THAT please!) -jodie-

Oooh - I'm on there every few days - how did I miss THAT? Abalone is hard to do well with (did that make sense?) but it looks GREAT! Goes with the shape very well....... - Jodie -

Adeline - so glad you got that pair! They're so pretty! I looooooove abalone pearls! Can't wait to see more photos! - Jodie -

Hi Adeline! More gorgeous earrings! (the top ones are AMAZING! Love those findings!) Happy boxing day! (you have that there in Australia, don't you? Although it's the 27th now so no matter! lol) - Jodie -

Alex - I love how you share so many photos! Those are just lovely! (and yes, the pearl person looks very, VERY happy! She's singing! lol) - Jodie -

Oh yeah? I'd never really noticed them before - I missed all that! lol I don't usually buy things from China if I can help it (on eBay etc I mean). Never know what you're going to end up with....... - Jodie -

The one in the photo is gorgeous! (love the mix of large and small pearls and all the strands). I always have to plug "Etsy" whenever I get a chance (I like to give small businesses and artisans any help I can). There are many for sale on there. If you see one you like, but you'd like more...

had to Google this........Edison pearls are the premier bead nucleated fresh water pearls? (sorry if i should know this by now!) - jodie -
