Good luck, Pearl Dreams!;)

Very graceful earrings, Morella. Setting is exactly balanced with mabe and gem.

Pearl Dreams, that's true people buying low price pearls can't get the best quality, anyway. But now, without test, nobody will be able to know if a tahitian pearl has grown during three months or three years, for the same price, and moreover, perfectly spherical pearls, so much valuable at...

You have a nice pearl! Its lustre is typically GSS' one. I love this shape, and natural colour variations make it alive.

To try that with the sun would quickly make your eyes like pearls!!:)

Testing is free of charge for tahitian farmers who require it to authorities.

That's a good information, Jeremy, about Rikitea. Thank you for sharing. Maybe I am unlucky, but the last tahitian pearls I have received have not so much thick nacre than all others before. The last I have carved is between 0.5/0.6mm nacre thick, calliper measured... a lost work. So, I suspect...

As far as I know, the only carver to work with a specific farmer is Chi, from Galatea. That because its beads are special, but Chi needs also a very thick layer of nacre. All of that is possible in case of big productions, I can't ask anything similar according to my own very little use. I...

Akoya have never been regulated by depth law, instead tahitian pearls. The tahitian's market prices have been built on particular quality requirements they don't work, now. If it's a matter to pay what we get, tahitian pearls price would drop significantly. I can't understand how to sorry such...

Rule have changed since 16 of july 2017, but just I begin to see new pearls with thin nacre coming ( I am on the right place to know that): it's a shame! Even tahitian jewellers I know think like that themselves. Well, that's a disaster. Now, pearls certified up than 0.8mm thick nacre will be...

Good point, Amti. Price difference between 15 and 16mm is usually significant for a true SSP!

Just I have carved the first tahitian pearl I find with less than 0.8mm thick nacre: a disaster... What a sadness, to see how everything's quality is becoming lower, even in such prestigious scopes:(

A very smooth shape, unusual like a perfect olive, and colour so right with setting. Nice jewel, Red!

The keshi pearl ring is an exceptional piece!!!! Never seen like that:eek:

You are right to doubt, I think: this pearl looks more like a white edison pearl, FWP, than a south sea... Did you look at @pearlzaustralia edison pearls, on Instagram, their size and lustre are very similar.

What I surprise me, first, it's this great coincidence for a wild oyster to receive the two factors required to build a pearl, a bead and a piece of foreigner tissue, that in the same time... Sure it's why natural pearls are so scarce, because if a simple grain of sand was suffisant to work, as...

Did you talk about the welding point between the three handles of the bail? Only one handle's metal has been allowed to be inserted in the pearl's hole, and this kind of setting can't hide the weld required for assembling the two other pieces of bail on this first handle.

Unfortunatly, rules have changed since july 17 (country law N° 2017-16). Now, tahitian pearls farmers can sell pearls with less than 0.8mm nacre thick. In order to work their own will, they can ask a legal expertise certificate (toll-free for them) to certify nacre is 0.8mm thick or more, but...

Beautiful, sure! and nearly regular shapes easy to set in jewels.

Thank you for sharing Pearlescence. Anyway, all your blog is very interesting. I have been allowed to acceed to it after searching your website on Google engine, and then, clicking on your blog's link. But that don't work using any links from P-G.
