Yes. Preferably keep them in their own box.

It’s lovely, particularly the wire wrapped stone. I love wire wrapped work.

An absolute must. When I went grocery shopping I didn’t have any pearls. I wore three strand bead necklaces I designed and made myself. These did include pearls, but they were only Swarovski ones I knottted myself. Other imitation pearls didn’t lend themselves to knotting. I don’t go shopping...

Aren’t they gorgeous? I love them.

Thank you. I see you are enjoying yours. I love pearls because you can wear them with everything—even jeans.

Gorgeous!

Yes, I love them. Obviously others do too, so I’m pleased to know I haven’t got weird taste in pearls. ;-)

Thanks. I think I got good value. I’m impatient to get them but the postal service must be drowning in parcels so they take a while these days,

They are gorgeous and mine must be Akoyas too. I am about to get these as well. They’re on their way to,me. It was a one dollar auction because the seller didn’t know what they are. I had at least one other bidder wanting them. I hope you can open the link. If not I’ll grab a copy of the photo...

I always thought baroque Akoyas were never onion shaped. Well, I read that somewhere. I don’t know whether I could find the listing where I bought them. I’ll have a go though. Probably a breach of copyright. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=5484010160

Right. I’ll do my best. They’re a lot smaller than the photo shows, of course, possibly 7.5-8mm

They sound lovely. I have some lovely baroque freshwater pearls with every bit the lustre of the best Akoya pearls. They are shaped Ike onions.

They’re lovely.

But they have such good lustre. I go for lustre before roundness, though I’d rather baroque pearls weren’t too misshapen.
