    Mikimoto Grade Comparison -- Take a guess!

    I think best to worst: 2, 4, 3, 1. What a cool poll, thanks for starting this Andrew! Even though these are good resolution, this is tricky indeed.

    My pearls

    I like the comparison you did of all the colors, you're right they definitely have a green color to them. And wow, is that golden strand GOLDEN! I saw Kongspearl has been carrying more SS strands and was intrigued, thanks for posting your pictures. I wondered if the strands really had that...

    I second that! We'd all love to see how it looks on your neck! Especially with the clasp facing forward, good job tackling a multiple strand necklace. Takes a lot of patience.

    New and less new pearls

    Wow, your collection is amazing! Talk about a woman who knows what she wants! When you go on CC's website, some of the strands are marked with the buyer's name when sold. I looked through some of her past strands, and there have been times where I've wondered "Who is this Fiona??" Well now I...

    Did anyone else think the holidays were a blur?? I hope everyone has had an enjoyable month, trying to catch up on this thread a bit. Mixed baroque tahitian strand on our way to Christmas mass. Does anyone else scope out other pearl enthusiasts when they're in public? The flute player at my...

    My pearls

    You're just like me, Charlotta! The more threads I read, the more types of pearls I want! We all enable each other's pearl addictions, I think ;)

    365 Days of Pearls

    Trying to get caught up on this thread since the holidays came around. I have to say, does anyone else enjoy the chicken pictures as much as the pearls? No, just me? :D

    Keshi Earrings

    Those keshi earrings are fabulous, you have good taste! I was checking out Kamoka's website today, and was wondering who snagged that pair. I've really been wanting a pair of small akoya keshi earrings, but man are those hard to find! Maybe I'll hit up Kojima after the new year, and see if they...

    I feel the same way, my grandpa use to say "Champagne taste on a beer budget!" These pearls could bankrupt me if I let them

    BWeaves: I can't wait to see your new rope! You're going to be rainbow metallic for the new year! There was a rope of 11-16mm ripple pearls I almost bought on Pacific Pearls, I hope someone here bought it. So glad to hear everyone is doing well with their eye issues. You continue to educate me...

    My pearls

    Girl, you've got it going ON! Wow, every single thing is beautiful! You've got wire wrapping down for sure, that lariat idea is pretty cool. I would never think to knot a strand like that, but if they're heavier pearls it makes sense. Thanks for the inspiration! "Pearl goals" ;) I've ordered...

    Jesskat: Yes I saw that last night as a cruised their website, I'm relatively new to pearls but that seemed like a very unusual strand to me! She never puts "certificate of authenticity" too, like everyone wouldn't trust her implicitly with their purchases. Hope a wealthier connoisseur than I...

    PD: Wow 3 trees at once, that's a major undertaking! We just had a very large hackberry (at least 40-50 ft tall) cut down in our front yard before Thanksgiving. I was surprised at how sad it made me feel to cut down a mature tree, I'm sure it was planted when our house was built ~50 years ago...

    Annie, you're really making me want to buy up some strands of 3mm pearls and make a rope! I've seen some vendors carrying them, but I always though of them as filler pearls to go in a larger piece. I'm learning from you all, tiny pearls rock :cool: Red, those are huge tahitians! It's cool to...

    Jeg: Enjoy your vacation! I bet the weather is amazing there, its all rainy and cold here in Dallas. Booo.... Charlotta: I figured they were as vibrant as in the pictures, that aubergine pair is to die for! I use to think silvery blue was my favorite color, might be changing my mind on that. I...

    Toddler art class, grocery store, raking leaves, why not Tahitian pearls? Because if I wait for the right occasion, they'll never get worn! On a side note, does anyone know why portrait photos get kicked out and won't upload, but when its turned 90 degrees and becomes landscape there's no...

    Charlotta: Your earrings are so beautiful! I often admire the studs on Ocean's cove (and everything else that she makes), and a few pairs are definitely on my list! Are they just as colorful in real life as the photos? BWeaves: Look at how cute you were! Did your hair do that naturally? Nice...
