Wow, the gssp looks like a gold nugget, Masik :D

Interesting! I'm wondering what the nucleus is made of.... I wish I could help with smashing the pearls LOL.

Oh gosh! This looks otherworldly!

And we, Hungry Pearlers (thanks lisa c, for the moniker for us) would like to see neck shots please once you have strung them.

I've heard the term "collection quality", the term coined by American Pearl, this refers to the supposedly best akoya pearls that are available. They claim that their collection quality is better...

Please do start such a project, Douglas! That would be wonderful. I'm queuing to get one for me!

If your vendor insists that they are natural color then you got a fantastic quality gssp strand. That deep color, often described as 24k gold, is special. Congratulations on your winner gssp strand....

Today I noticed that Kongs Pearl on Etsy also uses the same term as Wen: freshwater akoya pearls.
So now I'm curious what do they look like in real life, Pattye?

I have a project in my mind. I'd like to string 3 strands of tiny pearls and finish each of the 3 with the lobster clasps on both ends. I can repurpose one of them by attaching it to my mask as a...

Great collection, Masik! Droolworthy :D

In the first picture here, it looks like the color is enhanced to me. As far as I can remember, I've seen such color a lot offered by gssp vendors in the Philippines.
But have the strand tested by...

A picture with the pearls placed on a white background may help us identify if they are dyed or not.

Douglas, I tweaked the bottom clasp a little bit to suit my design :p.

Beautiful pendant indeed and the pearl's size is special.

Finally somebody who can spell 'bail' correctly! Applause for BWeaves!
I've often seen people spelt it 'bale'.

These are my favorite clasps.
One of them (the bottom one) is from Claspgarten, it's a German brand more popular amongst beaders than higher end jewelry stores.

Thank you, Cathy :o. You are such a dear pearl friend! I finished stringing them yesterday and I'm now proudly wearing the necklace.

I'm enjoying every single pearl baby of yours, ladies. Each one of them is special. :D

Wonderful finds. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Bernadette. I wish you were in EU so I could quickly grab some of your Beaders Secret.

Thank you, lisa c, SydK, eolian pearls, Marianne, Katbran and Jeg for your appreciation of my newest purchase of pearls.
Thank you again for your care and concern about my health, it means the world...

I'm still looking for more unique clasps, Katbran. It's unfortunate that a lot of jewelry shops have to close because of Covid and because they're deemed unessential.

Wendy, I hope we all can go travel the globe again without this Covid hassle!

Pattye, thank you for your sweet words on my choice of pearls. I decided to pick something that mirrors my current...

Charlotta, you have wonderful pearls as well as a knack of photographing your pearls. You managed to capture all the overtones. And how gorgeous your blues look, my jaw dropped!

Mesmerizing ombre rope, Charlotta. Such a feast for the eyes ��

Thank you, Lilpearl, for your sweet words. :o Have a nice week end.
