    Are these real?

    585 generally means 14k I'd imagine that the first mark is a manufacturers mark.

    Influencer Marketing's Impact on Consumer Trust and Purchase Behavior in the UK Pearl Jewellery Industry

    Definitely the wrong place to ask. I'm on IG and generally can't stand influencers and certainly wouldn't be swayed by one.

    Linda's Lowly Beading Adventures

    I love the little diamond beads .. I've done pieces with little black spinel as well. As Sarah commented the fine beading wire is probably the best on those little sharp holes. And you don't need a needle - just poke it through. It drapes pretty well.. not quite like thread but pretty good...

    New (to us) Deco Mikimoto Bracelet

    It's very pretty ! I'd think it wouldn't be too difficult to shorten. If you remove the final pearls from each end for around 16 mm ( including knots ) or the final two that's about 28-30 mm (including knots ) . That at least keeps the 3 pearl / spacer pattern for the majority of the...

    Pearls, Pugs, and Beads

    So pretty ! And so much work ! My patience certainly would not allow me to attempt such pieces... I'd probably throw them across the room at some point lol.

    Is this worth its price?

    Definitely ask for a few more photos that are not under a light box . The colours may not be that intense looking in most conditions.

    Yes 2thdktr ... I was surprised by the use of Keshi instead of baroque. If it's nucleated then as I've always understood then it can't be Keshi. In the same vein, I've seen a lot of pearls trecently hat are being described as Keshi that are small oval and semi round very symmetrical in shape...

    Sticky residue on Tahitian pearls

    If its just in the one spot on each pearl.. I use a Cue tip / cotton bud to dip in adhesive remover and just gently rub it off .

    Pomelo - I love Keshi studs. They generally lay pretty flat and have all that flattish surface to add presence . The little hills and valleys catch the light beautifully. jeg - Lovely pearls - those sweet little teeny kasha....glad my fat fingers didn't have to string them !! BWeaves -...

    Got them as gifts can you tell if it's worth anything, i already have similar one's in white, don't wanna keep these, idk what type of pearls is this

    Freshwater golds, while still fake looking, seem to have improved their colours...The ones I saw ( granted a few years ago in HK ) were more of a yellow, a shallow very poor shade of gold.

    Golden Mikimotos arrived...

    They look really lovely . I wouldn't worry about the little pin pricks , frankly it would be hard to get a strand without some unless you were paying for perfection. The colour is pretty , from the sunlight photos they look like a light gold ? Lustre and overtones are beautiful ! Like the...

    AGTA News - "Chinese/Baby Akoya" are Actually Nucleated FWPs!

    I saw them on IG - sent a note to friends saying why pay so much for Hanadama when we can buy them for 65$. lol. Seriously you look at the site and every 2 min a note pops up saying someone from ( fill in a city ) has just purchased. ridiculous
