I like baroque Akoya pearls, so I checked it out. I think the seller doesn't know how to measure pearls -- it's 18" to him, but 36" to us. He offers local pickup, but doesn't accept returns. I wonder if someone goes to pick it up and doesn't like it, what happens?

How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, but the bulb has to want to change.

Ban Island? Do they have pearl farms? :geek:

Thank you, I was trying to think of a vendor and Blue Nile didn't occur to me.

The diamond shark is less expensive than a pearl. Another vendor might call this a harvest strand. I would love a Paspaley harvest strand. But yes, eye watering prices. Another of their videos I watched had a comment by a woman who works for Paspaley, and she said her dream would be a...

Fuchsia. Lime. Kojima Pearl has some lively ideas on their website.

I believe cameos are usually cornelian, not carnelian. Cornelian is a shell, similar in coloring to the stone. "Cassis Rufa is commonly known as a cornelian shell, due to its coloring very similar to the stone of the same name. It has small dimensions and is harvested in Africa. It was the...

I can't find the listing. I want to play, too! :LOL:

I like your cameo, it's beautiful. There's so much delicate carving in the ringlets of her hair. There is already a tiny loop at the top. You may be able to find a charm clip enhancer bail to create a pendant, which would save you a trip to the jeweler. If you really want to save, pop over to...

Over on YouTube, I found under World of Paspaley, Diver: A Collection for Men, introduced about a month ago. "Inspired by our real pearling crews, past and present, Diver captures their strength, courage and the wild energy of the Kimberley coastline." I think I could watch it on a loop (drool).

Rocky Horror is a classic! MUST SEE! Michelle changed her hair again.

Let me know if you find a cure. I look forward to seeing your earrings!

Ha! Good catch! I always liked the Assael advertisements, but they weren't really campaigns. The "campaign" that I remember was in 2023: Ni Ni an acclaimed Chinese Actress/infuencer and pearl lover, celebrated the success of her latest movie with a stunning social media campaign of 30 selfies...

If it's a double strand, I want a clasp that stays put, no flipping, which would mess up the lay of the necklace. I like gold but the clasp is at the back anyway.

Cigarette smoke is a film; it should wash off.
