Oh, okay, Thank you. Never knew that. Do those places sell them at higher quality? Like better surfaces and such?

It's fixed now. Though, are these sold anywhere else?

Can across a lot of very confusing pearls on ebay Circles: Butterflies: Flowers: Crescent Moons: Square Crosses: Rhombus: Rectangles: Pears: Christian crosses (YEEOUCH): Holy Schnitzel. I've never seen anything quite like these in department stores. Does anyone know...

OOH. I see. This makes so much sense now. I assumed it was freshwater at first, but what threw me off I guess was that it was tissue nucleated. In the past, whenever I smashed pearls (pretty fun lol) I'd see about a few millimeters of nacre and one big shell ball. In the some of the darker/black...

I uploaded pictures of the pearl I broke in question. I'd love your feedback about what exactly the pearls are. Thank you, -Redwana

Okay, pica are uploaded! Please give feedback! Sorry it took so long for me to check back! I had no idea that this thread got so big, and I didn't know that there were so many commenters! Thank you for your input, and if they're really not tahitans, then please help me figure out what they are...

I'm sorry you didn't like my guide lol. There's really not much I can say. It was a late night. I guess I'll have to go and see where I went wrong. Perhaps you can give me more clues as to what's wrong with it? And PLEASE check out my pics in the updated post, even if you do think it's hogwash...

Pics are here. Please check them out and tell me what they are. If they aren't tahitans, then what are they?

I checked your links, and yeah, those weren't where I got tahitans from. It was from another seller, but I won't disclose their names unless specifically asked for because I don't want to seem like I'm advertising. I would never claim I got tahitans from these sellers because I don't aim to buy...

Sorry for the delay everyone! IThe website told me that I was pending approval or something like that, so I didn't know there were all these replies until I checked here today! I was never notiified about 3+ pages either :O Please don't delete me, because I'm a real person (I think? That's a...

I'm a she, and my name is Redwana :) I'm sorry that I infringed on your name copyright though! I'll make sure to use my full name, even though Red is what I'm usually called by friends! Sorry about that! -Redwana

I wouldn't really benefit from the link anyways since I don't sell pearls, but if specfically requested to, I'll be more than happy to remove it I'm not a spammer, at least, I'm trying not to be ;)

Yes, my pictures are definitely needed. This thread is a whole lot more active than I thought it would be, and whether I'm wrong or not, this could be a learning experience, so I'll upload pics I'm working on it!

It does kind of look like that. But somewhat different too, and my seller was different. Look, I'm not trying to promote a certain seller, or even myself, really. Like I have no clue what special benefit having people read the "guide" would have. I just wrote a load of stuff about my experience...

Well, I thought that too. I broke the bead about a year ago, but I'll sacrifice another for this thread. Please! I'm not a fraud! Just a budding college student pearl aficionado :D

Ehh, sorry, it's been a while. BTW I used Red because Red is part of my first name

UPDATE: These weren't Tahitians at all, just dyed freshwater. I still like them though because they're BBB. Big, Black, and Beautiful! I think I got thrown off by the fact that the dye went all the way through. For some reason,I thought that dye just sat at the top and faded inwards. Oops...
