Thank you Cathy :D

Thanks amti :D, I handed a phone number to the divers (one specially for pearls) the last time I visited two islands. The places are really isolated, takes hours by sea to get there on a small boat and very few are able to go in and out. If one diver finds a pearl, the community would know about...

Thank you, Simply adorned. I don't know what to do with these yet, aside from taking it out again and again from my drawer and staring at them. haha. But I might have to sell some of them to support this hobby.

Hello guys :D ,I just got back home from my pearl adventure in some of the beautiful secluded islands in the Philippines. It's my second visit there and it was perfect timing because it is their deep sea diving season. I brought home some really cool natural wild pearls and I hope you guys like...

Thank you BWeaves :) the big white ones came from what they call in local name a "manlot" shell . I weighted it earlier, its actually 73.6 ct. I'm hoping to get ones with a beautiful flame when I returned there.

Hello guys, I would just like to show the pearls that I have collected in a secluded island in Cebu. All of these natural pearls were acquired by visiting the houses in the island. The residence there are mostly deep sea divers. I have only been there for 2 weeks and I can't wait to get back...

Thank you Katbran. But can you grade my pearls? I am planning to get GIA certificates for these. :)

Hello again, thank you for the replies. I did a test for specific gravity and the result is natural pearl. I talked to my uncle again and he said that there are a lot of different kinds of "brown lip shell". I'll show him the many different kinds of brown lip pictures online just to make sure...

I bought them from my uncle, he is a deep sea diver/fisherman, its rare and its from the oyster family.

Hello, I'm Joan, I would like to know if you can appraise my natural seawater pearls here. I just bought them and I'm trying to sell them too in a good price. Thank you.:o
