    Rose Quartz Clasp in yellow gold or rose gold?

    I'm looking for similar to the rose quartz clasp, too. I have a Lake Biwa rope with a rose jade clasp from Gump's. It is rose gold metal, with a double safety. Gump's in San Francisco back in the 70's had an extraordinary jewelery department with a strong emphasis on rare pearls and jade. The...

    Help! How do you choose the right color for your skin tone?

    Sometimes, P-Gers use the term "apricot" What color is that? PP doesn't use it at all. At the moment, they are out of variations of peach/gold. I loved the deep gold/orange SS drop earrings with emeralds that Jeremy got for Alex last Christmas. https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=6

    Help! How do you choose the right color for your skin tone?

    There is a intergem show this weekend within an hour of me! Please, tell me more about how to prepare to do this adventure. Do they just do lower end beading pearls? Are there particularly good spots to visit? Do they let you walk to natural light? (It's a big box convention center)

    Help! How do you choose the right color for your skin tone?

    Pearl Dreams, Thank you for the ideas. Does anyone have a sampler color strand? The Mac air shows better color than the pc image, but it still isn't anything like the real pearls. I'm taking the G.I.A. on-line pearl course, and going to the Washington, D.C., G.I.A. alumni group meetings. I'm...

    Help! How do you choose the right color for your skin tone?

    I haven't been able to find shops carrying natural color cultured pearls. Until I found Pearl Guide, I didn't know the rich variety available. What is available are the poor quality bleached generic white akoya wanna- be from China. Or costume faux. Even the up scale jewelery stores carry...

    Help! How do you choose the right color for your skin tone?

    I have been impressed with your ability to choose the colors that enhance your skin tone. How do you do that from pictures on the computer? I just bought my first PP strand and earrings, and I didn't get the right colors. They are quite beautiful- the exotic metallic peach strand and 2 pair of...

    Two Crazy Pearl Lovers head to Pearl Paradise.

    JulieBeth, you were *on* the whole time I was watching. I thought you did really well! I did enjoy your pearls in the casual look. Like you, I wished that the resolution was better to see the details of goodies at PP. I missed seeing the souffle strands and the early part of the show. I'd love...

    Two Crazy Pearl Lovers head to Pearl Paradise.

    My mike was switched off ( default for too many participants label) by the Powers That Be when I joined the group. I never got a chance to ask questions or compliment Lucy, Ethel and JulieBeth. There were live videos of the PP rooms, whether or not someone was in the room. It looked like they...

    Two Crazy Pearl Lovers head to Pearl Paradise.

    We were laughing out loud with the banter between you both and JulieBeth. You draw us in, with comfortable friendliness. I enjoyed learning about the photography. That is quite a light box! Learning what kelven temperature lights to use was, um, illuminating. John did a wonderful presentation of...

    Are you taking the photos and film? Is the camera, that we saw in the pic of Taylor and the whale, the same one as the under water one? Please would you tell us what it is like to film underwater? Do you have anyone watching out for you, while you are concentrating on filming?

    Those big motors on the mothership are to just keep position? How do they both small boats and the larger craft handle the tides? Is there somewhere safe they go? The Bay of Fundy comes to mind, but that's a singular location. My son is an astro-biologist, working with extremophile microbes as a...

    I'm so glad you are doing this! I'm learning new things.. What other hazards and critters do they have to worry about? How do they keep from being tangled up in the hoses and lines in the water? The shot of the baby whale is awesome!
