I love tiny pearls

Oh my goodness Douglas !

That is amazing and gorgeous pearl. The color and luster are spectacular. Truly a gem of the sea....or should I say... Sea of Cortez!

It is! I think this will be the BEST pearls I will get to see in this Lifetime (of this particular variety of pearl oyster). It is fit for a King or Queen

[Lilpearl]

Douglas and Linda,

Cortez Pearls to treasure; I love them all!! Thank you so much for the photos!

[CortezPearls]

I am off to see a fisherman today...he has another natural pearl to show me
Will share soon!

[CortezPearls]

Less spectacular but still a nice find today
A fisherman brought me a pearl for inspection...perfectly ROUND white pearl from the "Mexican Black Pearl" (Pinctada mazatlanica), with good enough specs...but nothing like that AMAZING drop shaped one I posted before...
Measures 8.7 mm and weighs in at 4.4 carats...

[Lilpearl]

Very pretty pearl!

[Charlotta]

That’s such a pretty pearl. When I think about it it must have taken years to get a matched strand. I am grateful that we have cultured pearls today in so many varieties and colors so that I can play with them.

[CortezPearls]

Absolutely Charlotta!
That is how it was before cultured pearls and I am also very happy we have cultured pearls today, for their positive environmental effect and for bringing pearls to us all...God bless Mikimoto!
