A Collector's Dream

A Collector's Dream

Many of our members collect pearls, but only a few collect natural pearls. Member Metzler is one whose flawless taste and intellectual curiosity turns super-rare natural pearls into exquisite jewels.

Here is a brooch of natural golden "pipi" pearls from the Pinctada maculata and abalone pearls from the Haliotis iris.

Enjoy!

New Bi-Monthly Column: The Sustainability Corner

by CortezPearls

Hello dear Pearl-Guide.com Forum Members: With spring comes renewed energies and pulses, the recent system upgrade also allows me to start adding up content that we believe is necessary to keep the forum growing and renewed, making it the #1 Source for Pearl information on the World-Wide-Web for years to come. I had this idea of a column years ago, when I still published "The Sea of Cortez Peal Blog", which went "black" after a massive Russian hacker attack (the importance of updating your system...

Indonesian South Sea Keshi on a Lazy Sunday

by GemGeek

Carolyn Ehret operates Ehret Design Gallery on eBay, a favorite of our members, and myself! If you find yourself having to wait for a car repair or a delayed appointment, I can practically guarantee that the time will fly by while you look at the fun items on her site. Of course, looking can be dangerous to your pocketbook. This is also a great place to find a few gems to add to a necklace or earrings--or just to source beautiful and unusual pearls. I had Carolyn add gold spacer beads and finding...

Pearls Make Me Feel Beautiful

by GemGeek

Looking through photos from this summer, I noticed that all the photos where I am wearing pearls are the ones where I am joyous and glowing.

Searching through the jewelry images was a review of some of the finest gemstones in the world, including an enormous padparadscha sapphire and dazzling jade. I found out about Karen Suen at the Couture Show Awards competition. Although the lighting made photo opportunities difficult this year, ...
