Thank you Cathy! I am trying. My bones have almost healed BUT the doctors said I also had suffered a type/level-2 injury on the wrist's ligaments (could not be evaluated when I was all swollen) so I'm doing daily therapy at a local clinic. Seems this wrist injury is the most pressing issue...and painful... -
Sure thing!
If you could get some close-up photos of some of the pearls it would be great...to me it looks imitation, but the photos are not good enough.
In the meantime, try a UV light or the "tooth test" (I hate it!) or if you have a jeweler's loupe...try and look for imperfections...Leave a comment:

Found nowhere better to share this video!
Just hot off the press
a short promotional video about SSEF's PearlScan software that helps you count the pearls on a strand and measure them. It's interesting, especially for those that handle way too many necklaces! (Can there be such a thing!?!?!)...

By the way, I found no better place to SHARE THIS VIDEO made by the Swiss Gem Lab (SSEF) about "How do Cultured Pearls Form".
You will recognize our dear Pearl-Guide member Josh Humbert of Kamoka Pearls being featured there...great visuals, entertaining...hope you enjoy it!

Thank you Faith!
And you know...the event is over, time has healed us. This was crucial for my wife because of the sentimental value of the items...at that same moment we had a bad economic turnout and I had suggested we sold some of the items *the ones that were damages and needed extensive repairs,...Leave a comment:

I guess trying to give you the "How you would wear it" vibe...but the mannequin could work both ways!
I could see the strand is knotted, some drill holes look kosher...but the image quality is not good enough for me to judge the pearls individually. Clasp looks silver.

Good morning! My right hand is doing not so fine...having issues writing
Will keep it short!
I have a soft spot for Fijian Pearls...I love what Justin is doing with them.
That "Feather Necklace" is very lovely!...Leave a comment:

Interesting! Please do share the experiment results!
Pointer: Try to take photos using the same background, pearl arrangement, time of day (or lighting situation) so it will b easier to CONTRAST the changes.
Great experiment

Love these Tahitian ringed/circled pearls...specially since they have just ONE ring (for the most part) and right in the middle! It just makes it really unique! The colors are deep, the luster magnificent. Just lovely!
Lovely keshi bracelet too!, they look quite large! How big are they? Sorry...Leave a comment:
