Loloperle,

A great way to bump a thread! As Caitlin said, very nice colors. What's the range of sizes? Which FP atolls are most well known for Poe Pipi?

You have found some beautiful pearls. The range and intensity of colors indicates a fresh source in contrast to the rather exhausted harvest on Penryhn (Tongareva).

In my opening post on this thread, my first at Pearl-Guide, I offered that the small size of these pearls might understandably result in under-appreciation. By now, that issue has undoubtedly been laid to rest.

They are truly beautiful, the colours look amazing!

 

[Adeline Leigh]

absolutely darlings.

HiI'm sorry I do not speak English very well, but I try to show the Poe Pipi at best, yes they are really beautiful, very difficult to find in French Polynesia and it requires a lot of traveling and working to obtain especially those of larger sizes.
It is a pleasure to show on the pearl guide today saw their rarity and beauty
cordially

Thank you Amrita

 

[pattye]

Thank you for showing more photos of these rare and beautiful pearls.

Poe pipi apparently possess unusually strong attractive powers. No sooner did Loloperle's very nice gems come to the attention of Cook Islands pearlers than we have their response in this perfect 8.8mm GIANT pipi drop acquired just this morning. It is a stunning pearl, described as 'clean' on all surfaces.

The pearl is just being admired at the moment, its destiny to be determined.

 

[Caitlin]

Wow. They do not come more gold than that!!!

 

[Lagoon Island Pearls]

Wow Steve, wow.

 

[pattye]

Wow! THAT is truly 24 karat gold color! What a beauty!!
