Black South Sea Black South Sea How strange this message shouldbe right at th top. I checked in this am to see if there was such a thing as a black South Sea. My sister in law just recieved one for her 25 wedding anniversary. She sent a picture. It is very pretty. Picture from a cell phone...

Ok guys, I am sad to say that I bought some earrings over a year ago for a gift. Once they arrived, they were very white, had all sorts of claims on the accompanying literature, but they DID NOT PASS THE TOOTH TEST. They felt as smooth as plastic pearls. Very strange since they are supposed...

Y'all have got to excuse me, but now I have to wipe the drool off my keyboard. Those are some mighty pretty pearls. Congratulations!

I can appreciate your frustration. After reading this site for a while and really looking at pearls I see every where, when I see obvious incorrect information on eBay, I feel frustrated and angry. People are often misled into really poor purchasing choices because of ignorance and misplaced...

Wow -- those are great. What fun!!

Ok -- Jer-- You gotta cough up the Urban Legend. You caught my attention.

Now that is a story. I do like the necklace -- very unique!!

Well, I saw the pearls. Interesting developments. They were definately still "crusty" but she said much cleaner Around the holes when I looked closely, there is some peeling of the nacre. I am guessing these are a set of 1950-60's cultured salt water pearls -- they are a graduated strand...

I was talking to a girl at lunch today and she was so exicited because she found some pearls this weekend at a yard sale. She said they looked "old and crusty" so yesterday she called her jeweller who told her to soak them overnight in salt water to rehydrate them. She mentioned that they were...

Just purchased this Gem Series book from Amazon and can't put it down. There are some incredible pictures. Good eye candy for "pearlifils." Interesting little tidbit: On page 37 (2002 revised edition) it mentions that in 1980 a Tahitian Black Pearl necklace with 27 pearls and ruby enhancer...

Great story!!

Don't have information, but do have an opinion. In candlelight, large white or cream pearls with a nice (not sure of the correct term) luster? really do reflect candlelight nicely. Also, a double or triple strand look really good in candlelight -- nice and warm. For flurorescent, pearls with...

They are really hard to tell that they are not round. When I hold them up really close I can tell some of them are a little fatter than longer, but it is very, very hard to tell. From a distance with someone else looking I thnk they would be hard pressed to see that they aren't perfectly round...

Tana Very pretty ring!! Diamonds and pearls just go together.

Love the "mixed bag" necklace. I would definitely wear one of those. It would look so cool with sun dresses and dress up jeans. Great job Caitlin and thanks for sharing.

WOW WOW WOW All the necklaces are beautiful. I have to agree the peachy pink one is just beautiful against your skin. With that range of colors you have something to wear with every outfit. Good choices!!

wow -- taking pictures of pearl is tricky. Let's see....first one -- my saltwater necklace next to the freshwater bracelet. They actually compliment each other nicely. Second, on arm. I just love the subtle colors

I just recently bought a freshwater pearl bracelet (multi color, AA+) from Pearl Paradise and I have to say I am amazed!! I have always been a saltwater cultured pearl snob and leary of freshwaters because the only ones I had in the past were not very pretty and definitely not round. While...

I heard this yesterday coming home from work on NPR. They were openin the wooden box while the reporter was there. Once the got the lid open, you could hear ohs and ahs in the backround. However, the guy she was interviewing said "These are worth hundreds." I laughed because of they are as...
