Hello everyone! I know I haven't posted in a long time, but I have been popping in and lurking from time to time. It's been almost a year since my husband and I were married, and we're finally getting around to going on our honeymoon! We're going to Los Cabos in Mexico for a week, and, of...

I actually really like the huge Golden South Seas! But they look horrible the way she's wearing them. Those pearls are so dramatic, I think they should only be worn with an evening gown-- and something that is more bare at the neckline at that. The necklace might even be better if it were a...

I've never cleaned pearls before, but I was wondering, what are the ingredients in the Hagerty Pearl Clean? Maybe someone here can recommend a less expensive alternative that contains the same ingredients. Or maybe you can develop a homemade recipe which is similar and cheaper. Just an idea...

Greens!?! Who got greens? I want to see them! Someone should start a green thread. Nicole

Hi everyone! I think that people should be getting their exotics within the next couple of days. I would really love to see the purpleyest of the purples that you got. Ever since I first saw this picture posted here on these forums, I have been dreaming of finding truely purple pearls...

Is it this ring? That's really pretty. I've never even thought of a pearl eternity band before. They also have it in yellow gold here, but the rose gold looks nicer for some reason. I wonder if it would be uncomfortable on the sides of your finger. If you were to find someone to make it in...

Here is someone claiming to offer a "rare" strand of natural pearls. The picture isn't that great, and my eyesight isn't that great, but what it looks like to me are nasty old PPB's with most of the nacre peeled off. The string looks new, though. Nicole

Oh my god, those are so beautiful! Are natural pearls from P. maxima still being found? Or are those (in the pictures) very old? And how large are they? I've never seen any natural pearls in person before, and I love seeing and hearing about them here. I hope one day to own a single...

I guess that I'm actually hoping that this project will fail. As a consumer, it's difficult to know what you are getting when it comes to pearls. Especially when dealing with pearls from China, unfortunately. As the technique for bead-nuked freshwater pearls starts to produce more...

This necklace reminds me of an Akoya pearl necklace from one of our forum members' favorite topics of disscussion, pearllunar. http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-AAA-OCEAN-Natural-RICH-GOLD-pearl-necklace-14K_W0QQitemZ280175973635QQihZ018QQcategoryZ3844QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem The seller claims that the...

I know I'm a bit slow, and this stuff was already discussed at length over the summer, but sometimes it takes me awhile. There are a bunch of things about the bead nucleated freshwater pearls that I don't really get. Mostly, I don't get, what's the point? Why are these being produced? I...

I would like to see a photo, too. Are you sure that the pearls are 30mm? That sounds crazy huge to me! Nicole

I thought that there were going to be necklace and earring sets like the gold necklace that Jeremy had pictured here https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showpost.php?p=18301&postcount=34 I believe that I got three strands. I've received the confirmation emails. I think I got: FEN290-301 which...

Salem, Although I don't know you, I just wanted to add my congratulations, as well. This is truly wonderful news! Nicole
