I have created this display concept to show my pearls. That looks like a contemporary sculpture. What do you think of that?

Hi everybody I have the feeling that, often, FWP are viewed with less favour than saltwater pearls. I don't know why for a lot of them, which show so good qualities, especially baroque shapes. Thinking about that, I have a question: unless I'm mistaken, suffle pearls are only produced by...

Are there any studies to explain pearl's death phenomenon? I have experimented a new glue, polymerizable under UV exposure, on a test pearl : some solvent in this glue kills instantly the pearl, up to deeply under surface, and I wonder how deep it does... It's known that aragonite is unstable...

Hi everybody! Just for information. Because I had problem to carve it, I have sawed a edison pearl. Result : 0.7mm thick nacre for a 18mm diameter pearl... Luckily, it can be found better, but it's not written on the pearl. In fact, I wonder if the first layers have more chance to give upgrade...

Hi ! Will you, please, tell me if any endoscopes or over tools exist to exam pearls' inside, deeply, through their hole?

My first carved pearls, just worked... It's not a good joke to photograph this kind of subject ! Lightning, colours, a real problem to show by camera what see the eyes. Well, now, I must spend more than a lot of money to buy good grades and round pearls...

Hi, Is there anyone to explain me why the pearls have different lightning appearences, which define each grade of quality. What's going on the pearl's area to make these differences ? Thank's for your answers ! Sincerely

Hi everybody, Thank you for your well looking at my first post, about my project to carve pearls ! Maybe it's not wise to open this one, around the same subject, but I think it's better to explain my special problem... First, I needed largest and most thick nacre pearls to work, irregular...
