Came across this interesting Wall Street Journal article (through Twitter) on the evolution of pearl jewelry designs over the years but it was the sliced pearl bracelet that caught my attention. I then googled the designer and found her website. Her designs are quite extraordinary, to say the...

Would like to share with my P-G family some good news. At last we have been able to launch our new look website - still at harmonypearls.com?but with new features and hopefully easier navigability and more user-friendly. Some finishing touches still being given, and crinkles being removed? Some...

Hi Folks!! Came across this picture on an Indian bridal jewelry website - there was no description of the golden pearls with the picture. Don't you think they look like drilled through golden South Sea Pearls? Size seems to be about 12-13 mm. Thought this would be something different and exotic...

Ropes always fascinate me. Am sharing one that we completed recently about 88 inches long and with a little silver ribbed ball clasp. Used 8 little white 4.5-5 mm pearls and one 8 mm pearl and so on. Happy with the finished necklace. As usual hard to part with it. :) Sharing some photos.

I came across this article and thought it is a cool piece of news where a scientific method has been used (by isolating DNA from pearls) to identify the oyster that produced the pearls. Here is the link to the article: http://phys.org/news/2013-10-bad-news-fake-pearls.html

Here's a set of about 4 mm white FWP - made into a six-strand twisted necklace and matching bracelet (both finished with magnetic clasps) and a dainty pair of "grape" style dangle earrings. Whenever there is something that I find hard to send away to the customer, I think that is worth sharing...

Just wanted to share some large bead nucleated FW baroque pearls that I am handling at the moment. A lovely lady has requested some pendants with silver settings that can have a leather string pass through them to make necklaces.....I did it again, and fell in love with them....:) They are about...

Recently finished this custom necklace 35 inches using these multicolor FWs. I almost did not send it. :) The second picture is of the lot that I chose 2 strands from...Enjoy! The first picture is taken in natural light - the second under indoor lighting....thus the difference in hues..

Hi all! As I was researching the above question, I cam across the following on P-G: "Keshi may form in either saltwater or freshwater pearls. They are generally small in size and, because there was no nucleus to guide the ultimate shaping of the pearl, their shapes vary widely. Keshi come in a...

Hello all, I am not sure whether this the right forum to post this thread. But as it is closely related to pearl business and thus pearl industry, I thought this may be the most appropriate place. Lately I have been rather disturbed on reading on a few pearl websites, mostly based in China...

Someone recently asked me about this pearl seller - seems like a wholesale pearl jewelry seller.....though their prices do not seem "wholesale" at all. Here is their website link : http://www.chinapearl-usa.com/company.aspx Any information/comments will be appreciated. Thanks. :)

Hello all! I have just created a new group for all pearl sellers who have their website stores online. I think it will be easier for people to find online sellers at one place when looking for pearl vendors at various geographical locations around the world. I hope this is useful to the P-G...
