LOL! i know, crazy, right? here's the listing....... (someone has it saved on their "wish list"! now THAT i can't believe! ask all you want for something but i hope nobody is foolish enough to FALL for it!) http://www.rubylane.com/item/681498-CC194/Ex78traordinary-South-Sea-Pearl-Necklace...

ooooh, i missed these photos! just lovely! so what do most people do with tridacna pearls? i think i've only ever seen them loose and mounted on a ring sort of in a cage. are they difficult to drill to make a pendant? or is it because the flame is on the TOP towards the light? (wouldn't...

Neck Shot! Neck Shot! it was sunny the last few days - took some new photos and i think i figured out how to correct the colour. also replaced the clasp with a temporary one until i find something permanent (i can now wear them with the clasp forward and get away with wearing them during the...

oooooh neat! candling - like eggs! (i used to live down the street from an egg farm) let me get a photo of the $8,000 freshwater for you guys..... they're so obvious...... pretty clasp though....... -j- (oh, to top it all off they are 9-9.5mm) ooops! had the price wrong - they are...

well it looks like i HAVE to buy them now just to see what they are! lol i have pored over those photos so many times thinking "yes, yes" and "no, no" and comparing them to strands of naturals....... they are cheap - under $100 but as we all know by now, the price means nothing (saw a strand...

hmmmm - yeah, that big ol' round centre pearl is the one that really threw me off (other than the odd shapes of the other pearls) some have that "top" shape like baroque tahitians but then some have that sort of "lentil" shape like naturals do..... and of course some are ringed as well so i...

yeah, the colours are crazy! and they're the kind that changes from light source to light source (even in the same room!) "they're lavender, no wait, they're bronze, oh, they're sort of green......" etc....... i did consider breaking the strand up and doing a lariat style with them but i...

hi everybody! well, i'm always on the hunt for my strand of (budget) naturals! do these look like they may be natural salt water pearls? the baroque akoyas i've seen so far haven't had these shapes so i wasn't sure. and they just didn't look like cultured freshwater to me either...... i'm...

i did have photos - thought they were on my flash drive....... here they are! - jodie -

i don't know if i did........ here it is...... she did a reserved listing for me for a full strand..... the ones i got were a tiny bit more 'flameball' in shape than these in the photos (although they were the same pearls - you know how different hanks can have different shapes or colours, even...

neato! thanks narcissa! holy cow! how big do you reckon that pearl on her headdress is? 15mm or so? it must be a "known" pearl, huh? - jodie -

i'm not crazy about the ones i got now...... good thing christmas is coming up! lol someone's going to get some big honking chinese freshwater's as a gift - not sure who yet....... - jodie -

gosh i can't decide if i LIKE those or not! i keep going back to LOOK at them though! that should tell you something!........ i've always thought some of the baroque tahitians look rather 'animalistic' so i think it works with those shapes...... very organic....... - jodie -

okay, i won't feel dumb! (for THIS anyways! fortunately i still have lots of other things to feel dumb about - lol) i was just excited that i got such a great deal on my little black beauties (and that they WERE as colourful and lovely in real life as they were in the photos - i was SO...

oh...... yeah, i see what you mean........ i guess since i don't really read descriptions much, that wasn't really a factor for me anyways (the grades - for either this vendor, or ANY of them to be honest. seems a lot of them tend to fudge the grades to me but that doesn't mean that the pearls...

hee hee hee.......... pearlies are funny! going to a christmas party tomorrow night....... my girlfriends are NOT shy, you better believe they will be saying "um, WHAT are those??"....... "oh, THESE old things? why, i only wear these when i don't care WHAT i look like!" (and yes, that is my...

see my thread about the "circled peacock tahitians" in "show us your pearls". "Auction Pearls" gets two big thumbs up! i told the woman i dealt with there, laura, about this website and she checked us out. she's going to join as well. she said they are shutting down their ebay account soon...

katbran, that made me laugh! (and get a little bit excited i must admit ;) i wore them out for lunch with my family yesterday and was cursing the fact that i don't have ANY white sweaters! what am i THINKING only having black sweaters for winter?!?!?! (oh, i fixed my keyboard! well...

yeah, i love river pearls! they're so unique, and i like the fact that they're indigenous to the US (and i guess are very rare now due to the zebra mussel - do people still find them or are they all vintage?) thanks fuzzy for doing that! she could have made a lot more money if she accepted...

that's awesome "girls crave pearls!" i got one too! (different seller though). they actually said they didn't ship internationally but i didn't see it (oops!) by the time i realized it and was all ready to grovel he'd already said he'd ship it to me. it's purdy! check it! - jodie -...
