When I was in French Polynesia I was given polished shells like the one you have pictured with each pearl purchase. They are all as colorful as the one you have pictured. I also saw the same...

Beautiful, Jody! The necklace and bracelet make a perfect match. Enjoy!

Great gecko, gravityalwayswins! I love the realism and it's a nice story true or not. GemGeek, get your friend to post a picture of that octopus. Perhaps we could start a forum of unusual pearl...

So according to the GIA the overtone of a pearl can be orient. That clears everything up.;)
Jean

:confused: Just when I thought I had it.

Hi, Carol,
Let's see a picture of your gecko!
Jean

Gee, silversea and GemGeek you have far better talent for naming than I. I was thinking of something much more prosaic like Ralph or Hubert. :D

Please opine on this:

I, too, have tried, with minor success to understand what everyone is talking about regarding overtones, orient and water and the like. It hasn't helped me that people...

Gee, I never really thought of naming him. I'm certainly open for suggestions.:)

Wow! Beautiful pearls! Excellent pictures!
Thanks for sharing,
Jean

Thank you, all. Such nice people. :) The jeweler who moved the bale from one pearl to the other offered to make a new, larger octopus for the larger pearl. I was afraid that the larger size would...

I never really cared for the pearl, but I love the bale. I decided to try and find a pearl that I liked as much as the bale. I bought this pearl in Papeete. It's about 13mm.

Best wishes,

Over twenty-two years ago my husband bought me a pearl pendant in Kauai, Hawaii. I just ran across the receipt for it. Oh my gosh, did we overpay! We knew nothing about pearls back then (and only...

I'm still trying to find a goldsmith to do it. If I'm successful I will certainly post pictures.
Best wishes,
Jean

I love this forum! Pearls inside fossilized scallops--what deliciously esoteric information! May I ask, Slraep, do you come by this information professionally or is this your hobby?
Best wishes,...

Thank you, Inge. Now I have to find a goldsmith willing to make a little starfish.
Jean

Wow! Great colors!

This is a 12mm bronze baroque.

Never let it be said I hid my pearls' flaws from my fellow P-G members; and this pearl has a significant flaw:

My question is this: What am I looking at in the...

OK, just for fun, here are two pictures of the purple end. For some reason I just couldn't get a good shot of it.
Best wishes,

Thank you. They are 8mm to 10mm.
Best wishes,
Jean

Thank you, Josh. Here's the irony: I'm red/green color deficient. I have much more difficulty seeing the green (and red) than others. I wonder if that's why I'm attracted to it? I took a lot of...

Thank you, yes it is the laser clasp. I'm not sure gold was the right color for these pearls, but I suppose I could change it when they're restrung, eventually.

Hello all!
Here are some pictures of my “loot” strand from Pearl Paradise. When I saw this picture: http://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showpost.php?p=28356&postcount=38 I didn’t think it was...

Hi, Blaire,
Very cute pictures. Funny that you saw my pearl at PP.
Best wishes,
Jean

Thanks, Caitlin! We used to live near Alvernon, north of Sunrise. We sure miss Tucson.
