Thanks, Pattye!

I mean, I have my receipts, of course. I need an easy to use bookkeeping program or book.

Not sure if this is the right section, but I'm almost ready to start my little Etsy shop and just realized I have no idea how to keep records for US taxes and just to see if I'm making or losing...

That is gorgeous!

Wonderful! I have some pearls close to that color, and they look so pretty with white clothes in the summertime. :)

Well let's face it, ebay feedback is a joke anyway, but if poor feedback accurately fits the transaction, that is the feedback I would leave. He should pay the shipping as well as refund your money...

Mikimoto pearls are very sought after. They seem to keep their value much better than many other pearls. Here are some completed ebay listings for them to give you some idea of what they've actually...

Wonderful! :)

Or have it made into a special piece and keep it forever. It's tiny but lots could still be done with it. :)

They are bead-nucleated. Also, welcome to the forum. :)

Hi Cobalt. So much of it is just personal preference, so for what it's worth, here are my thoughts. I'm focusing on your desire for her to get long term use from it:

- 14" is very short. 18" (or...

So lovely, Rkas. Neck shot, pretty please? :)

Not much monetary value, unfortunately. But still, a cool keepsake and story! :)

I thought they looked quite silvery in your neck shot.

Gorgeous! I think that was a good choice to forgo the bracelet and dangles in exchange for the larger pears. That strand is a real head turner!

Thanks, everyone. :)

Thanks. I think I have found my earring sweet spot at 10mm, too. They are definitely noticed, and I've had them on for a few hours now and they don't bother me. I just can't wear any larger for very...

Pics please! Haha, you all crack me up.

I just love the new white south sea ones (10mm)! Sorry I couldn't get a better pic there. It is so embarrassing to go out with new pearl...

Woo hoo! The mailman just brought my new south sea earrings from our lovely Perlinda's Etsy shop, IndoSeaPearls. Gawgeous, dahlings! I squealed when I opened the box. I will share pics later, right...

I think I'll quit leaving feedback completely on eBay. It has become so weird that it has no relation to what I consider the definition or purpose of "feedback" to be. The seller feedback ratings...

As for "or any other solutions," I have heard some of the cheaper Tahitians have some kind of coating that makes them look shinier. I don't know what it is or how it works on other types of pearls...

Beautiful, Elisha!

Yours too, Maiakity! They look wonderful on you. Hey, it's not a mere purchase, it's more like an adoption! :P
