Hi Leizi, Just read your message in the forum. If you can give me your email, we can communicate directly. Or you can email me. I have been living in China for 20+ years and dealing in pearls for several of these years. I think I can help you. Cheers, Amrita (amrita.beijing@gmail.com)

So beautiful!! Love the ring and the elegant minimalistic design - looks lovely on your sleek fingered hand! Wear it well! :)

Thanks Jeremy! That's interesting to know - so basically anybody buying from Grace is helping to service their debt too when paying their astronomical prices!

These are Edison pearls, Wendy or at least that is the name that they are sold with ("Ai Di San" in Chinese or close). They are available in multicoloured strands, and purple ones too. Tell me more about the Mings, Wendy..

White Edisons strands that I have seen recently may not exactly rival a top quality white SSP strand but they are getting closer and closer with each new lot. The surface is quite smooth, the luster is amazing, and the white has a silvery sheen..Here's a pic

That ring is such a treasure both for the sentiments that it must evoke and for its beauty! :)

That IS a dreamy strand - looks good on you! Wear it well, pkinnew! :)

My vote is for the AA+/AAA qualities of FWP as well. They have a lovely shine and roundness and look great in size 7-8 mm for a rope with length varying from 54 to 108 inches, I would say. :)

Such a gorgeous ring and great article! Congratulations Hisano!!

Those earrings are gorgeous, Brenda! You sure have some serious jewelry making skills! Welcome! :)

Sorry Cyndayco - had missed your comment earlier. I am not sure about whether the spacers are not good for pearls in the long-term, but so far haven't come across any story about any damage caused to the pearls by them. In fact, I have been using them in this design for a few years now (along...

I agree! :)

Yes Cecilia, it is a folded over clasp. I am afraid I do not have an online link for it. I found it in a local jewelry market in Beijing. :)

Interesting - here's my input to the discussion. I have used this kind of clasp for kasumi type ripples, and it has worked well..

Thanks for letting us know Wendy! Never experienced this but so good to have the heads up on such shady stuff which could potentially be harmful.

That is such a lovely necklace!! :)

Thanks BAS and JerseyPearl!! :)

Had to keep one of these lustrous fireball strands for myself out of our April Specials?.what do you think of the combination of the white pearls alternated with gold plated spacer beads...

Love how you've layered 3 different kinds of pearls around your neck, JerseyPearl! You must be turning quite a few heads your way today! :D Welcome to P-G!!

Really cool! Thanks for the photo, Jeremy and for the erudite explanations, Dave. What struck me is the difference in luster of the external nacre with the internal?.wonder why that is so? :confused:
