GORGEOUS!

Gorgeous Colorful-Black Beauties @jeg Have a beautiful weekend everyone!

Wow! They look GREAT Steve!

GORGEOUS!!!! I just LOVE IT! Totally Erotochromatic! And the ring idea is fantastic...how does it FEEL in your hand?

I have seen really low quality SSPs that look even worse than these...but, yes: too little information and inadequate photos don't lead to a better recomendation.

One Strand to Rule them All under the Sun!

Ooooh....so sorry to hear about your broken fibula! So sorry!... Since I've suffered a few injuries...I really FEEL for you! Anyway, it's GOOD to see you back here with us and sharing your lovely silver Tahitians with us!

The silver must be coated with Rhodium...it looks SPLENDID! And the Blue Akoya is to DIE FOR!

Should be there in a thread in the forum...lemme look for it! Here it is :) https://www.pearl-guide.com/threads/cultured-pteria-penguin-pearls.8761/

Nice pearl & setting! White gold? The pearl has a very unique coloration. What did they tell you it is?

My pleasure @StarryPearl :) Yes, they should display a very light pink glow, unless they are very white and thinly coated...then you will not discern it with your eyes, but will be picked up with lab equipment. I've seen Pteria colymbus natural pearls and Mabe pearls. Too small! P. penguin is...

Hi there Aleksa. Welcome to our forum! Oh well...the photos are very blurry and out of focus as well...so, it makes it all much difficult but those don't look like Akoya pearls but seem more like low quality freshwater pearls.

Yes, its Carolyn. She is still active. Sometimes it is easier to register the pink glow of Cortez pearls under video...also, do use a black colored background.

These are dyed freshwater pearls. Sorry.

I will be sure to do this @Yens !

Happy Saturday everyone! Wish you all a Blessed weekend :D

Maybe it's a number related to the manufacturer? The "4" looks like an "A" to me. But this is just a simple guess. The metal must not be gold.

I also get Imitation pearl vibes...they all look the same, they lack imperfections and that shallow optical depth... use a UV lamp!

I agree @SteveM : DNA testing is finally here...but might be expensive! Would not mind using it on a valuable natural pearl, but maybe not on a commercial grade cultured pearl. And YES: those porphyrins are unique to genus Pteria so the UV fluorescence does extend to all members of the genus...

G'Day Wendy! Sounds lovely! Would love to see if you encounter some of those "Baby Akoya" that are actually FWPs!
