I agree what you are describing, design89, I have seen that myself with some indian ocean octopus. There are hundreds octopus species, and that seems specific of only a few, or a question of life conditions? Anyway, cephalopods can produce calcareous structures (cuttlefishs bones, nautilus...

In case of pearls, the biggest problem is the expertise of merchandises. A judicial complaint is valid only if it's well argued with an expert's advise, and there are not a lot to have accreditation of the (french) courts, anyway, it's an expensive request.

Hi andamanpearl, Welcome on P-G! If nacre is dull, there are no ways to make it really more lustrous. That because size and building of aragonite crystals' nacre decide of the lustre quality, and you can't change this structure by polishing. SSP lustre is often smoother (satin aspect) than other...

I agree pattye. Anyway, people who succeeds several times to be a crook on Etsy must give a false identity, and open new bank account with, that's indeed serious.

MCS, I see a molar top on the right...;) More seriously, I wonder if X-rays tool of dentists has enough contrast to see pearl beads. Customers X-rays would seem more sensitive, now. The third biggest pearl, top in the middle, shows some parts looking hollow, maybe around a bead and the place of...

Hi starsinthesea, I wonder how Etsy can allow this practice. In case of disput, I think it's Etsy's responsability to garantee refund. Sellers must pay their items sheets to Etsy, and sales payments are managed by Etsy, then it is connected to bank account of the sellers and would be able to do...

Well done, GemGeek, also Zeus thunderbolt, but when he is in a good mood.

So beautiful jewels and pearls!!Thank you for sharing!

Pareltje, you make me smile: each time buyer will look at his pearl, each time he will see a 320.000 euros bill, the one of the kind like that;)

A very creative work! Making a tour on Brenda's website, I have seen many other fabulous pieces, too.

Of course, this pearl is not miss Universe, but high scarcity value, that's enough to be appreciated by inquisitive minds, collectors too. Anyway, this piece makes us to wonder how nature can produce such objects. If I had found it myself, I would not think it's really a pearl, without an expert...

Gorgeous work, full of golden lights. Thank you Blaire and GemGeek.

Be careful, Kimberly22, nylon doesn't age well, being damaged by UV, even neon tube ones! As it's difficult to make tighted knots on nylon, or there are breaking points, sure pearls have been glued on it.

Thank you for sharing, Pearl Dreams. What had been mollusc able to produce such a pearl, and its size?!!

Thank you JerseyPearl! I have not yet found a big tahitian pearl like the nice ones you use, but I am looking forward that, curious to know the result of carving of such nacre colours.

Thank you so much, Pearl-Guide, thank you Blaire and all of you, Ladies who have supported me and my travel through the beauty of pearls nacre. There is much more nice things to discover, doing that, and then to share with you : that's truly my first award.

Thank you for sharing, CortezPearls. Reading such crazy story, Lao-tseu would be turning in his grave!

BWeaves, it's very very kind of you to say!:o Drawings of my carved pearls are inspired by nature's shapes and models : corals (like my last creation on a GSSP), clouds, lianas, and all these stranges disorders which make the great nature order, at last.

Lugana, I understand how it might be difficult to see every carved pearls...
