    I just missed out...

    ...on a nice pearl for a pendant: http://www.luxuo.com/auctions/bonhams-second-largest-pearl.html And I really didn't know how to spend some pocket change:D

    When nature makes art (with a little help from humans:-))

    I sometimes browse Youtube for interesting videos of gems and these seemed like something worth shearing with pearl lovers.

    searching for a photo

    I'm pretty sure I saw in here on pearl-guide, it was (if I recall correctly) a set of indonesian pearls someone posted, which included a yellow gold ring with one large round blue(ish) pearl. Anyone knows what I'm talking about? Thnx in advance!

    mabe questions

    Thanks for all the info. If by "other clues" you're thinking about the fact that faux pearls always look too perfect, I already know that. If it's something else you have in mind, please do tell. BTW, I was thinking of a mabe (or mabe looking) pearl for a ring. Nothing fancy and overly expensive.

    mabe questions

    If that's the case, I'd appreciate answers to all questions above, except first and last, like they're asked regarding button shaped FWP's. And some more - are treatments done on pearls permanent and how can I make sure that I don't end up with something like dye washing off etc.? How reliable...

    mabe questions

    Are there freshwater mabe pearls? Are they expensive? Are they generally of diferent quality than other FWP's? How are they in terms of durability/wearability? Are they treated (other than shaped)? Thank you!

    Valeria - beat this:-)

    I know you're eager to find that perfect golden pearl, the one that "looks like liquid gold" (if I recall the line correctly), and I think I found it (you can thank me later:D). Check THESE out (they come in matching earrings too)! They're not only golden, I'd say they're indian 22k saffron...

    pearls and gems (pic thread)

    Anyone has pieces that combine pearls with faceted colored gemstones? Want to share some pics:D

    metal vs. satin?

    Which do you prefer - pearls with metallic, or those with more satiny surface? I think most tahitian and akoya would probably fit in the first group, while freshwaters and south seas would mostly fall into second (although there are no rules...). I personally prefer satin luster, cause those...

    High karat pearls

    Well, Greeks and Italians aren't exactly pale - maybe they are compared to most Indians, but sure aren't compared to most Europeans. Anyway, here's how "certain actresses" wear lots of karats:D
