    Tahitian or Freshwater???

    What's the size? What's the price? How are they being advertised?

    Ha! Jeremy, you're the reason I started buying pearls online to start with! Some of my very best pieces are from Pearl Paradise. I think my natural white Hanadama rope needs to come out to play tomorrow when I go visit my dad. And I've also been having the same issues with the website like...

    Is this a Good Deal?

    Sounds like you got a GREAT deal!

    No, no, no, you're supposed to be talking me OUT of buying pearls. I'm on ban island with you. I'm retired, and I barely leave the house. I have plenty. More than I need. I really need to write out an inventory so my family knows what I have. Actually, part of me starting to post my...

    Is this a Good Deal?

    It almost sounds too good to be true. A little googling shows the lowest current price for 7.5 mm akoya necklace is in the $750 range. Make sure you can return them if you don't like them. If you do like them, it's an incredibly good deal.

    Kojima June sale starts today. I do not need more pearls. I do not need more pearls. I'm eyeing the SS ropes. Nooooooooooo. More Summer pearls today. Kojima tin-cups and pistachio studs.

    JEG, I love the green glow of the SS pendant. I really love green pearls.

    Pearls and Sunscreen?

    Another thought. Wear pearl earrings. They don't tend to come into as much contact with your skin as necklaces and bracelets do. Also, if your neckline is high, a pearl pendant on a chain is great because the pearl is resting on the fabric, not your chest. The chain on your neck is...

    Advice for knotting a pearl rope?

    I thread the entire necklace onto a doubled length of Beader's Secret, and through a half a clasp. The thread is 5 or 6 times the length of the finished necklace. I clip a hemostat onto the cut ends so nothing slides off. I slide a pearl up to the clasp. I do an overhand knot with the...

    I guess it's Shark Week at the BWeaves house. Grocery shopping pearls. Tahitans from Kamoka. White gold Akoya Huggies from Mikimoto. I'm trying to decide which earrings to wear with my Sharky pendant. Anything goes with it. I think I'll wear the pair of studs on the left again. Sharky...

    StevieBoy. I like the length. My only concern is if you wear a belt, make sure the bottom of the pearls doesn't hit the buckle. Otherwise, go for it.

    So hot and rainy today. Getting out my summer pearls. Too hot to layer up the pearls, so just a single pendant today. Jurassic Time Traveler from Kamoka. It's a carved peacock Tahitian wire wrapped with a fossil shark's tooth. I'm really NOT into sharks, so I'm surprised that I have 2...

    Pearls and Sunscreen?

    I live in hot humid Florida. I either wear pearls or sunscreen. Or pearls over my clothing and not touching my skin. I don't even like my regular skin cream to sweat onto my pearls. If I want to dress up and think I'm going to be outside in the sun, I'll wear gold or silver instead of...

    I know! They're like miniature planets. So much color and wonderful shapes. No mistaking these for faux pearls.

    That clasp is gorgeous. So are the pearls, but that clasp! I love a good clasp. It elevates a strand to the next level. So today, I'm wearing a clasp I didn't think I'd like. I suspect this will be my 100 year old pearls, because it'll be the only clasp I can work successfully when I'm...
