    Is this luster for real?

    GemGeek Yeah I had my eyes on the metallic freshwaters. Too bad I live all the way in Canada on the East coast. I've sent email to PP and requesting some pictures to compare with.

    Is this luster for real?

    Thanks Karin for pointing out the thickness of nacre. After a few researches I'm leaning toward freshwater pearls now. I love luster coming out from within the pearl than from the surface.

    Thanks a lot Lisa and Pearl Dreams! It was not worn often by my grandma and she has been keeping it very carefully, so the box looks brand-new! I think this set was purchased 20 years ago.

    Hi all, here's a strand given by my grandma. I loved its various overtones under LED lights. They are 9mm~10mm in size. I'm new here and not a pearl expert, so I was wondering if you all could share some insights with me as to what these pearls are? Thanks a lot! :)
