Lets all be glad the fate of the world doesn't rest on my ability to post a pic.

Beautiful! What kind of peals are these?

[Mikeyy]

These came from Broome Australia.

[Valeria101]

Aha! So they'd be P.Maxima pearls (South Sea) and keshi of the same...

One of the colored pearls (the round one on the right) looks pink in the picture. I wasn't aware of pink 'South Sea' pearls! Is it unusual in person, or is the picture distorting colors?

Then, a couple (towards the tip of the pen) have strong pink overtone; are these from Maxima 'South Sea' too?

Besides, the size range of the rounds seems unusual for a single type of cultured pearls. Are the smallest round keshi?

Lots of questions...

That is a distorted color. It is gold. However I have seen pink pearls in Australia. I couldn't tell you how common they are.

These are all nucleated and they all came from the same local. Just outside Broome. And I don't mind the questions. I'm captivated by pearls like the rest of you.

Can you post the link to your photo? I think the right half is missing and I'd love to see the whole thing. The pearls are marvelous.

Lovely pics!

You can resize to 600 pixels ... photobucket allows you to edit the pics. Otherwise the picture just runs the text off the page.

Ah you guys will have me posting like a pro in no time.

Wow, I'm glad I got to see the larger photo in all its glory. Those last two pearls near the tip of the pencil are all orient!

Big pictures are great... and there is a way to keep them large AND not run beyond the windows here: the 'Thumbnail for Forums' format generated at www.imageshack.us (that address provides free uploading).

Have you bought these from a specific farm?
