Thank you everyone! Good to see you again too Lisa :) I got them! They are definitely flawed, with lumps and one black spot, but in the ears they do face up pretty clean and the flaws are not visible from a normal social distance. They’re quite pretty and yes, they’re big. My sister and I were...

Long time, no post. I've been cursed with a car that lives only to break down and haven't had funds for pearls in years...but I caved on these. I think I did good! I nabbed the second pair of Edisons in this listing - I was amazed they hadn't sold already, whenever people offer options in a...

First of all, I just need to say that Sarah at KojimaPearl is one of the nicest people I've ever done business with on or off the internet. She is SO sweet - I mentioned to her that I'd let my little sister wear my earrings to her prom (Kamoka dangles) and that she looked amazing in them, and...

Aaaah, I love Tahitian drops! Those are gorgeous!

Snagged from the website for you. UuU Beautiful pearl, i love how pistachios look...still questing for pistachio and blue.

I'm mesmerized both by how pretty those pearls are and by the history they might have witnessed. Germany, 1930-1950....wow. They are stunning, alone and on you. What a great find! I'm totally going to imagine them once gracing the throat of Marlene Dietrich now. :P

Thank you, all! :> You are indeed looking at white metallic freshwaters and....I'm going to end up getting both. Not just right now. But I like the silver-green paired with the white better, so I'm purchasing those first. Turns out that they're actually 11-12 mm, but Linsey hadn't realized...

Oh my gosh I hope I win O_O How exciting! I got tiered Kamoka earrings from KojimaPearl just two weeks ago and they are -beautiful-, quite the nicest Tahitians I've ever seen and they're not even gem-quality. So cool!

It's that time again. Well, it's always that time - I managed to get some great pieces during the July sale but didn't have much luck with the Connoisseur sale (did buy ombre SS earrings that were much too big and fancy for little old me, but I do have pictures because they were still pretty...

I really do like those ripples. I'm avoiding buying any because they're kind of expensive and because I don't have a clue what they'd look like on me, but those colors are to die for.

Great choice, lady! :) I'm sure the necklace will be wonderful too, they r eally do look nice. And peacock is just the classic Tahitian.

I third that; once you have pearls with metallic luster you will never look back o_o At least with freshies. I adore the satiny shine of South Sea pearls too, but I tell you what, here in Hawaii I see a -lot- of women wearing pearls and 90% of the time mine are better. I don't say that to...

I think you should stick to the Tahitian pair, especially if you'd just be repeating the same colors. But maybe we can help you more; do you have a specific price range for your pearls? Do you want studs? Dangles? Definitely, definitely don't rule out drop shaped/baroque drop/baroque pearls. I...

Hi, Overtones don't wash out the black. Unless you -want- a dull, solid black pearl that might as well be a plastic bead :p ! I think Tahitians are more like an oil slick; if the base color is dark the pearl is going to look dark, especially at a distance; but in a metallic way. Kind of like...

Caption: "How do I selfie?" I have finally figured out how to attach photos! I think! (After figuring out how to take them, and put them on my computer...sigh). Ten bucks says I'm going to have to edit this post anyway. We'll see. I normally do not wear pearl necklace + earrings, because I...

PS Just for fun, I ebayed "Blue akoya earrings". Enjoy these gorgeous pearls :D http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xblue+akoya+earrings&_nkw=blue+akoya+earrings&_sacat=0&_from=R40

http://www.rubylane.com/item/600588-257-1894/GORGEOUS-Akoya-Cultured-Pearl-Sterling This is really interesting. The photos are good quality, and large, there's detailed information about the pieces.....but I'm still leaning towards fake. Although not necessarily that the seller is...

OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's -beautiful.- I'm in love. o_o

*timidly raises hand for the new pearls, depending on how much they turn out to be* I think they're gorgeous. And I like "rococo baroque," but as an art and history nerd I saw that coming.

Chinatown is one block west of where I work and it's sketchy. There are jewelry places scattered all through it and you're welcome to look, but I found black pearls in a store that I like very much that were outrageously overpriced. Art Treasure House belongs to a very nice Vietnamese man and as...
