    Jaccard’s Pearl Appraisal

    Definitely , as Pearl Dreams suggested, look up on line for similar strands. If you can measure them that would help and also if the Gold is 18k ... will help you search the correct strands.

    Tahitian pendant of 2006 from French store

    Enjoy ! It's a bit hard to tell from the photos but n the close up there seems to be either dirt or glue around the edge of the bail. If its glue you can take a cue tip and a bit of Un-Cure or other solvent and just gently rub it away... then a warm water wash.

    Help, where to go to get a pearl ring repaired?

    Type of metal used in Tin Cups

    Really you can use any metal type you want depending on how much you want to spend. I believe in pairing "Like with Like". So if I were using AAA Akoya or South sea. I'd use gold. Silver is great for Freshwater and Gold filled will give a gold look without the cost. Half hard but never...

    Where to buy freshwater pearls and freshwater pearl quality

    Look like a lower grade nucleated pearl . That's when a bead is inserted into the mollusc and the nacre forms over the bead - this gives a round shape and lets the grower get a larger pearl faster. Like all pearls you get a range of quality from a metallic high lustre to a lower dull surface...
