    Pearl Stud setting

    Thanks for allaying my concerns, everyone. I brought the earrings to the boutique when we dropped in today to pick up a pendant for my sister. The store manager did a great job cleaning them and they look clean again :)

    Pearl Stud setting

    Hmm...it might be a weird question but...have you ever noticed from your pearl stud earrings, any bits of glue showing around the base where it's set? I wear mine almost every day, and I've noticed it just recently. I don't know if it means that my pearl could just come off at anytime or if I...

    SSP or not? What do you think?

    I always feel bad whenever I read threads like this. I wince inwardly as I live in the Philippines and in no way trust most pearl vendors in Greenhills. Sad to say, a lot are willing to take advantage of foreigners who especially are not very familiar with pearls.

    Ode à ma Mère

    Catching up on this thread. Your mom's taste is absolutely impeccable, BWeaves! I love that pearl ring and the swan pins, so cute! :) My mom absolutely enjoys and owns lots of jewelry as well, but I can't help but think that my generation (80s kid) will never be able to afford such wonderful...

    My birthday gift: GSSP studs! (Jewelmer)

    Thanks, guys. I love them so much and could spend several minutes just staring at them from several angles, haha. I'm delighted that Jewelmer is coming out with more youthful and wearable designs. Their sales seem to be going stronger as well. A lot of their items sell out quickly!

    My birthday gift: GSSP studs! (Jewelmer)

    Thanks for the well wishes, everyone. Regarding the charms, all the gold that Jewelmer uses in its pieces are 18k gold. I'm not sure if it would scratch the pearl, though. I hope not. My sister wants the one with a suitcase charm.

    My birthday gift: GSSP studs! (Jewelmer)

    Hey guys, long time no post (for me, haha)! But as always, I enjoy lurking and looking at all the lovely pearl photos, as well as reading the informative posts. I was engrossed by the imitation pearls thread on my ride home. Anyway, I recently celebrated my birthday, and for my gift, my mom...

    My first pearls! (Jewelmer earrings)

    thanks for the advice, guys :( i never knew so much blood could come from a small hole :( (no pun intended ;) ) Yeah, I am definitely not used to wearing thick posts (the posts are thick due to the weight of the pearl, according to the salesperson; it's a good thing), and I was also afraid that...

    My first pearls! (Jewelmer earrings)

    I wore them so much this week that when I took them out tonight, my ears bled! :( so scary and painful. I got my ears on antiseptic now, thinking if i need to wrap them in gauze but dunno how to do it. Ouch. Is there a trick to taking out earrings? You just pull, right? Haha maybe they were too...

    My first pearls! (Jewelmer earrings)

    That is true :) I've actually avoiding going into the shop again or else I might impulse-buy the pendant just to have a set (and while it matches the color of my earrings still haha).

    My first pearls! (Jewelmer earrings)

    Saving up for an actual Jewelmer GSSP strand might require me to start looking for a better-paying job (keeping in mind my mom's strand cost her around $16k+)...it's nice to have goals hehe

    My first pearls! (Jewelmer earrings)

    the earrings are actually part of a set; there is a necklace too, the design similar to the earrings (the pendant drops from a heart). well, Jewelmer is currently running a contest on social media, and the price is a pendant, so I'm crossing my fingers there :)

    My first pearls! (Jewelmer earrings)

    I don't know if they would agree to that, and it might be more expensive to do it that way. Of course, you could buy a pendant from them and ask them to add on it in the future, but maybe the kind of cord and knotting required would be different. I've never tried asking if I could buy loose...
