How is this pearl still available? I was so sure someone would have snatched it up (but I'm not buying it either, so there's that). They have other Tahitians available, there's a wisp pendant that comes with matching earrings. Fun site.

Yes, thank you for the live streams. I enjoyed them immensely. Sarah may need to find a larger venue for 2025. ;)

So. Many. Pearls. I enjoyed the short video posted on YouTube, with behind the scenes footage. The gentleman sorting the pearls is amazing, he goes so quickly.

Listening to JTV this morning (Precious World of Pearls), and Mark Brown just said he had a stroke. I'd been wondering where he was. Since he's on tv, I guess he's recovering well but I can detect some slight speech issues. I am sending prayers in his direction.

Sorry about Bacon, but the pendant is a lovely memorial. It's a very pretty pearl.

Steph and Ayesha Curry. I love her necklace.

I, too, am really enjoying the PP live events, especially that Black Friday series. There are more events scheduled, too, if anyone needs some eye candy or gifts. I now understand the value of PP's virtual appointments, and highly recommend the process.

Considering the mm size, I'm guessing dyed freshwater (only because I have some in my collection). Honora did something similar, with the 14K clasp. You might look for a small script "H" on the clasp.

Jewelry and drains are mortal enemies. I recommend a new pearl to represent your new life together as a married couple. Keep the old pearl for sentimental reasons.

I received the emails and managed to catch the last hour. Thank you for adding Youtube because I'm not on FB. Everything I liked sold quickly. I'll be better prepared next time (I hope).

I always liked the blossom setting, too.

I laughed when Jordan fell over. It's educational to see all the strands side by side, so helpful. I am now motivated to pick up a lottery ticket before the next drawing. In the mean time, how much for the artwork behind Jeremy? That might be in my budget. ;)

But what about quality? I've seen some very poor Akoya pearls, with nacre so thin I could see the bead inside. Thanks for posting the article. I'm glad I bought what I bought way back when.

There is an article in English here, with more photos and video. https://people.com/style/met-gala-2023-kim-kardashian-pearl-covered-dress/

I accidentally ran across this article in Marie Claire. I laughed. Pearls are back for 2023? Did pearls ever leave? https://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/pearl-jewelry-trend/

I recently found a pearl rope necklace of my grandmother's in a pouch with the original receipt. Nice to have provenance.

I had a freshwater pearl ring that I wore when I washed my hands. The (very small) pearl came off twice, and I found it both times. I glued it again, and this time it seems to be holding. I never have any problems with my antique Akoya ring, but I'm more careful with it. I think toothpaste is...

I had a GSS pearl stud pair, and sadly, lost one earring (breaks my heart, still, to this day). I've had the orphan for a few years, and tried a few different times to remove it from the post so I could make a pendant, but no luck. UNTIL TODAY. I tried the microwave method, which honestly...

Amber4844's bracelet looks like Akoya to me, too. Honora company has been around since 1946, so this bracelet could pre-date their current offerings of freshwater, dyed pearls.

I agree with echo. Collecting pearls for a strand sounds fun and romantic, but it would take years and years. Professional jewelers can spend years collecting the right pearls for a special strand, and they have access to the harvests. Maybe if I could sit and sort pearls at the farm, I'd select...
