It was, ebay auction.

I think so too - I knew it would be freshwater so I wasn't duped, but the dishonesty stinks.

I don't mind it being freshwater, I would just prefer it not to be dyed. So a goldish coloured pendant is on my list, but I'll enjoy this one in the meantime.

It's nice, but whets the appetite to replace it in due course..... GSS baroque, or some kind of natural coloured pearl in gold tones?

Just wondering if anyone can id this? The listing (eBay - I know, I know...) said 8mm golden south sea drop, but I'm not that naive! So tell me, is it dyed freshwater? natural colored freshwater, or fake? I can see one tiny blemish only... Can't tell if its a pit or more like a tide mark from...

Ooh thank you I will try that!

Thanks I will! Question though - is there a trick to putting on a pearl bracelet by yourself? I can't push the hook into the clasp with one hand, aarghh!

I can see the gold is stamped but I don't know if its plated or just an outright lie.

My bracelet and matching dangles have arrived too now: And here's the whole family:

I was thinking that too, but I guess I was expecting to see some blemishing. If it turns up with none, then perhaps it's faux.

I just bought one. For the princely sum of $10 I'll take a punt. I'm not sure if its a dyed freshwater, a natural coloured freshwater, or an imitation pearl. Also not sure if its 14kt as stamped either. Oh well, cheap and cheerful until I can afford one I know is actually real...

I know it's not South Sea, but was wondering if its a real pearl at all? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/viewitem?itemId=151054307471&index=0&nav=BIDDING&nid=26985174259 I thought I might like a simple pendant in this colour to wear with a chain I have.

So if a Freshadama strand in a large size was dyed, what would give it away?

Not to hijack, but is there an easy way to tell the difference between Tahitians and dyed freshwater?

Thank you everyone! We are still getting acquainted. I can see me wearing them most of the coming week and I hope they grow on me even more :) Now I'm already daydreaming for next purchases - sadly depleted funds though!

Agree, I was surprised that the paper towel shot was so different.

Lol Sea Urchin, I bought the dangles and bracelet too - still waiting on those :) They are all 8.5-9mm Freshadama. What do you think about the overtone? They don't look overly creamy or rose when I look at them, but against the paper towel they look very creamy to me. I don't really see silver...

Sorry I'm not sure what's with the size!

Ok, some pictures. Apologies as they are just taken with a phone. They look more silver overtoned when worn, to me the paper towel picture makes them look ivory-rose.

I'll have to attempt a photo later, as I don't think I can get a nice shot until daylight:). Actually I'm not sure i can get a good look myself until tomorrow as I'm thinking yellowish bulbs inside are not the best for viewing :) So far I'm happy. It may just be the light but I think I see...
