Well so many pearly treasures trotted out for the holidays ! I've been flat out the last two weeks so I'm a bit behind ! Everything looks lovely - jeg I love the colour bands in your Tahitian...

I looks like a WSS bi colour - I have found these before where there is a light yellow/gold at one end of the pearl. I don't think the price is outrageous by any means - as pointed out before -...

Isn't she just gorgeous !

The @ symbol is actually very old - going back several hundred years and used in relation to measurements or counting. ( thank you Google)
Really lovely pearls !

Charlotta - I do hope you are feeling better - two weeks is quite awhile to be that unwell. Do take it easy as some of these things linger on.
Love all your remakes with those gorgeous Wendy pearls...

BWeaves - your big pearls look fabulous ! And the lustre on the 'Screamers' is blinding ! And the tin cup is so very wearable!

jeg - loving that tin cup - the lustre on the pearls is wonderful ! ...

omg I'm so far behind ! I'm in the middle of renovations which will hopefully be finished for awhile by the end of the week. So I have missed far too many beautiful post to comment on - I'd be...

I love that one ! It reminds me of the beautiful carved Galetea tahitian pearls

BWeaves - I understand that feeling of being stressed and not wearing jewellery ! I can't stand having something around my neck when I'm agitated ( fortunately a rare occurrence ). Hope work...

It will be great to see all her pearls ! I'd expect a celebratory strand !

My only suggestion would to be to ask for close ups of the baroque strand to see how noticeable the possible flaws are.. it's hard to tell if I'm seeing flaws or it's the light/ reflections . ...

Love the tin cup ! Lilpearl
eolian - The crab is so darn cute !!
jeg - always fabulous combinations! I love them all ! I especially love the Copper-Pink combination !
BWeaves - Lovely T's...

I can see that this would be useful for the more expensive pearls that gain value from their origin. I get so tired of every seller saying their White South Sea are Australian... but can't back it...

Thats probably a .7mm post which is quite common. Larger backs will sometimes have .8 or even .9mm posts for the 10-12+mm pearls.
You don't want much of a gap so I'd err on the side of caution...

jeg- that silver Tahitian strand is so pretty . The silver would work with everything. And I love the bail on that pendant..it's so cute.

eolian - I love the colours and shapes in that piece. ...

You're right... they all look gorgeous !

They look real to me ! Lovely pearls ! The fact that they appear to be off round would have helped with the price .

Wow that's interesting. I thought that was a Miki M logo but the S was confusing as most would say 925 . It's a confusing combination for the clasp. So I did find this info..

"All Mikimoto...

Sydk- lovely pastels and perfect for the coming summer !
jeg- always perfection! Love all those ropes from Kojima !
BWeaves - the classic all white .. loving it !!

Sarah - Excellent and thanks for bringing it to the attention of the forum... I only just saw this - really interesting . And Sarah ( Kojima) Thanks for the additional information !

I grew up in Michigan and always wanted a Petosky stone.. but never found one.

Lovely ! Don't you also love the old boxes !

Looks like Sleeping Beauty Turquoise - that beautiful clear and bright sky blue. Gorgeous !

Lots of fun pieces. The circled pearls are really colourful !

That's so funny ! Thank you for the laugh !

I was just looking at an auction site and they had 3 very pink Australian SouthSea pearls - large and round... that were so obviously Edison/Ming....
