    Thank you Jeg, 18" is a unit I didn't know, even approximative. JerseyPearl, I talk about ordinary pearls strands I see online, not in retailers' shops, and informations about the number of pearls are really scare.

    Tucson Gem & Mineral Show 2018

    Katbran, I don't believe that you would meet any special difficulties to go for a vacation in Scandinavia... Maybe there's differences between countries, because Scandinavia, it's Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Island. Norway and Island are not in UE, it can do a few, but I think these...

    Tucson Gem & Mineral Show 2018

    Yes Pareltje, I know that: democracy and individual liberties are stepping back everywhere in the world. I don't agree with Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia, too. I don't know if it's still available, but a time ago, nobody (men) was allowed to land in Malaysia with hairs longer than the shirt...

    Tucson Gem & Mineral Show 2018

    I agree with you, Pearlescence... We are also a great number, in France, to be shocked by rules to enter in USA. Moreover, I have heard that makes tourism toward USA falling down this year. It's sad.

    Civa has explained me that their production had been seriously damaged by hurricane Winston, and was just suffisant for their own shop in Fiji. they say that maybe they would be able to open an auction in Japan, but in 2019.

    How do I revive these?

    Maybe it's a question of special feeling with these pearls, about an old story, to see how their owner likes them. Sure they come from the Black Pearl's treasure of "Carribeen Pirates":)

    How do I revive these?

    Very strange! These pearls seem to be worn on middle parts, not around holes. Maybe a long time past rolled by waves on a pebble beach? A bath in strong bleach could make a similar effect, but wire would be damaged also...

    Dyed or Naturally Colored South Sea & Tahitian Pearls?

    Pearlescence, I agree with you, but to turn pale gold in darker seems to me a very difficult process: nacre is already yellow, and to add the right small quantity of red and black to make gold... it's not a simple way! Here is a photo of a yellow SSP, in my opinion: the difference is easy to do...

    Dyed or Naturally Colored South Sea & Tahitian Pearls?

    Anyway, If these pearls are dyed, that would be seen to observe the hole: if deeper nacre is white, in contrast of the first layers, it will be a doubt. A little comment: pure gold metal real colour is very unusual to see, every jewels are made with gold alloies. I have often seen native gold...

    Dyed or Naturally Colored South Sea & Tahitian Pearls?

    Hi PotatoPia! Unfortunatly, your first reply is not from a real Expert, but I think that black tahitian pearls are true, not dyed, and if gold SSP are dyed... it's very well done, even surprising. Now, the floor to the experts:)
