I received the link to the February edition but it says I am blocked. I remember reading the December issue but now I'm blocked from that, too. Did something change? I'm using the same web browser as...

Swarovski makes cubic zirconia jewelry, not sure about other lines.

Have you considered mother of pearl? Mother of pearl hair combs are fairly easy to find, and also genuine material.

I also found some bobby pins made with genuine pearls.

Me, too. I have a floating Akoya necklace like the bar necklace in the second photo, as well.

The rainbow Tahitian is beautiful, and I like the necklace. I've never purchased from Ehret but often...

I have one, with gray pearls of varying shapes and sizes.

Back to the Tin Cup, it's difficult to find one with lots of pearls. Most modern tin cup necklaces seem to be five or seven pearls.

That's it! I recognize that flower pendant with the GSS.

I knew this forum would know! Thank you!

I occasionally watch Mark Brown on JTV with his Precious World of Pearls shows (please don't judge me ;)).

Mark frequently refers to a pearl designer named Shera (sp?) who he says has been named...

This is what I've been hearing, too.

I'm glad I found this thread, as I've been wondering about price points and quality during the pandemic.

I have a white South Sea from PP, approximately this same size. I swear it glows in the dark. :cool: I think you'll be very happy with it!

This is how I understand the terms, too.
I feel that the base color/undertone of the pearl never changes, but the other factors can change with the quality of the light. For example, Tahitian...

I enjoyed the article, thank you!
I'm wondering -- are black pearls really harder than white pearls? I hadn't heard that before.

I've always seen pearls worn to the inauguration -- I remember...

With regard to rose vs cream, it's my understanding that any preference depends on the skin tone of the person wearing them, and not any perceived value. For example, olive skin tones may prefer...

I only skimmed this topic, but did anyone mention matching earrings? A simple drop would still be appropriate for business settings. If you order them all at the same time, PP can match to the...

I remember reading a long time ago, powerful women wear pearls because it's the jewelry that does not detract from what they're saying. An observer mentally notes 'pearls,' but doesn't focus on them....

Marc Jacobs is also wearing white pearls. According to Google, these male celebrities are wearing Mikimoto. Mikimoto has a new ad campaign / collection, "comme de garcons."

I really enjoyed the video presentation -- interesting and educational! Thank you, Jeremy!

No chatter about this launch? I loved the fireball with two rounds pendant, but I already own the same design in a different color family.

I like the pearls, but part of me is wondering if they're real ... did they pass the tooth test? Of course, with a 14K clasp, they're probably real.

I'll defer to the experts.

I really like the Tahitian earrings with the abalone -- are the gems amethyst and apatite? Fun for summer.

Those are beautiful pearls. I hope your grandmother enjoyed them, as well.

I ran into this problem when making a pearl pendant. The drill hole was a smidge too small for the post on the finding. I gave a big sigh and eventually found another pearl with a slightly larger...

Can you feel the crack when you run your fingernail over it?

I have a fireball with a crack and was told that it could not be drilled, so I suspect your crack happened after the fact and possibly...

I suspect some special lighting was used. Shall we send a request that they photograph the pearls against a white paper towel? ;)

I'm considering a casual necklace as well -- are y'all using bead bumpers instead of knots? Seems like it would be very quick and easy.

I recently purchased an inexpensive multi-quartz necklace...

There are also Fiji pearls -- https://www.fijipearls.com/. The Duchess of Sussex was gifted with a multicolor strand when the royals toured Fiji. You can find photos with Google.
