I've done a pearl farm tour in Phuket - it was fun and entertaining, but the information shared was rather basic. It was more for the tourist and less for the pearl enthusiast. I do not remember anything being said about glass beads. Enjoy your trip.

How about a monthly special for men? Maybe a tahitian on leather cord? You could time it with your interview and maybe get some other pictures of men in pearls on your website. Not sure if there is a big enough demand, but just a thought. I love your piece!

Very pretty, the colors are great!

There is a pearl farm in Phuket selling pearls they farm right there. Although they had some nice looking pearls, they were overpriced. Do a search on PG about pearls in Thailand and you will find some posts. I asked the same question. I remember someone mentioned MBK and there was also a...

Knotty, thanks for the details about the minute differences in the Miki stamp - I don't think I would ever have noticed that. Jules, I just am sending my niece her first real pearl strand for her 7th birthday. She is small and likely always will be (mom is only 4 ft 8 in) so I went with...

Great idea! Way to add some extra fun! Even if I don't win I like the idea of a guessing game! $1300

They look great! I think its the perfect size for you.

They look great! Good purchase!

Just another reason why I am so happy to have found Pearl-Guide. I hope more people start researching before they buy.

A simple white gold bezel probably on an omega chain. I have to save some money first, though. Eventually I think I'll get some matching earrings.
