Excellent CoffeyCat! This is just what we all needed...a direct comparison between Hanadama and PEPCA.
And still, just by looking at the photos I really can't see much of a difference between them...

Eolian! The photo is great! The sun behind that pearly sun of yours! Beautiful!

You're GLOWING with those pearls and stalactites Jeg!

Happy Birthday Wendy :D
And the story is way too funny! And the pic is great! Stonehenge is one of those places I need to visit on my future visit to the Ilses :)

And for today...even if Jennifer Heebner has covered this in the #ThisisPearl digital magazine for last month (February 2021) it seems there is still a trend on "Men Wearing Pearls", this time an...

My eyes are squirming with delight!

Hey Red! I'm going backwards on this thread...loving the pearls, the smiles and the great mood here :D and I had missed this one! Good to see you! Lovely necklace!

They might. I mean, this is a true and tried service that attracts customers.

Yesterday I took a walk to our local mangrove forest. It was teeming with bird life and I had to chance to admire several white pelicans, egrets and...the Spoonbills. Many people believe they are...

Good morning Pet Lover's!

News about a Pearl Farming Venture in the United Emirates....it's a touching story of a boy whose grandfather was a pearl diver, the boy later becoming a pearl farmer.

I love to notice how in the pieces made with natural pearls, they are all different and the...

Very nice...Lovely!

Great gift! Who else got pearls for Valentine's???

Very pretty! And it sits gracefully on your neck :)
That kind of clasp is one of my favorites as well.

Hello again Cindy :)
To my knowledge...ALL Akoya pearls are treated. Maybe a few are "cherry picked" by the farmers (maybe not!) but never enough to produce a single pearl strand I believe.
And...

Good morning! We're all waiting Pattye!
Smash Time!!! ;)

LOL...the "crazed look" of a pearl farmer ;)
More of a myopic man wearing a pearl strand and looking at a gorgeous Natural Cortez Pearl! Thank you for the memory Lillyfuzzysocks! :D

Thank you dear friend :) but were it not for friends & family, just like you all...it would simply not be possible to find enough "talent". YOU make it possible.
