    Default Where to find one Tahitian pearl for a pendant?

    Does anyone know where I can buy one loose Tahitian pearl (for a pendant)? I have seen that www.pearlsparadise.com has some loose pearls, but would like to know if there are other suppliers as well?

    I also wonder if there are any pearl farms selling pearls to end customers?

    Hi..Nerida has some Kamokas and so have I, plus some other loose one. What sort of shape and colour do you want?

    I am looking for a round or almost round pearl (maybe 10-12 mm). Colour is difficult but I am thinking of "teal blue" or a greyish pearl or one with silver overtones.

    I got the pearl today- the most beautiful Kamoka pearl (AAA, 12.5 mm) selected by Jeremy and I just love it! This pearl is perfect! Unfortunately I realized that I had to charge the camera battery after having taken just one (!) photo so pictures will follow later.

    Thank you so much Jeremy for helping me to get this beautiful pearl for my pendant.

    Oh my, hardly did I know how difficult it was to take a picture of a pearl... Anyway, here are some pictures of my Kamoka pearl. I also attach some pictures so that you can get an idea of what the pendant will look like.

    Once again, thank you so much Jeremy!

    Very nice. Is the pearl removable from the setting?
