I've bought a few items from The Pearl Society and found their photos to be pretty accurate. They do seem to carry some larger sizes, bought a pair of 13mm champagne SSP drop earrings a year ago for a very reasonable price, they weren't perfect pearls but I wanted something more casual and the...

Thanks so much for that info BWeaves, experience sure helps. I would certainly hope they wouldn't wear down like a bar of soap! Having got the pearl bug badly i don't think I'll be wearing the one necklace daily for 60 years though... so from a truly practical standpoint it's a bit of a...

Hello, I have a question for the pearl experts here about freshwater pearl nacre. One of the attractions of freshwater pearls is that generally they are meant to be solid nacre (except for the newer bead nucleated ones e.g. Edison's). I take this to mean that unlike say akoyas, which some people...

Urgh! Always upside down! The first are the Edison button earrings, about 14-15 mm I think from memory. A real spaceship UFO pearl shape! At first I wasn't sure if I liked them so discus shaped but put them on and realised that if more round they would droop so much. They do a little even so as...

Hello again, am finally going to try and attach some pics of items I got in the PP sale.. So much for holding back this month!

Right! That explains it then. I wish the sold items were still shown for a while as well, especially for one-offs. then again the last thing I need is more stuff to "need" heh heh. I will try and post ear shots once those whoppers arrive - but that takes about 2 weeks here in Oz!

Ah-hah, so Sea Urchin that was you that removed temptation from me with that metallic drop bracelet! I was also eyeing off a 9-10mm metallic peach strand but was not sure if the colour would suit me. So of course while thinking about that more temptation disappeared (must remember- things go...

Not sure if everyone has seen this site, but it's new to me - Allure South Sea Pearls (alluresouthseapearls.com.au) . There really are some amazing pieces with wonderful integration and showcasing of Aussie pearls. Bit out of my price range though, but lovely to look at! PS no, I'm not...

Thanks everyone! Officially addicted to pearls now. Never thought I'd get a pearl ring but it just makes more sense for me to wear some where I can actually see them...!

Photos Photos Mine arrived today. The pearl is perfect, setting sweet- this style might also protect pearl a bit while wearing it. Hope photos attach correctly. Sorry about wrinkly hands!

Thank you everyone for your help & words of experience!

No, I DID manage to go to the shop, and I did try them on! It's just getting back there for a second look is impossible. After sleeping on it I think I'll go the white, as I said I think it was that the gold pearls were just so lovely in themselves but not necessarily the best match for my skin...

It all helps! I think the white actually suits my skin tone a lot better, it's just that the golds were such lovely pearls! The silly thing is, I wouldn't really be able to look at them if they are on my ears…

No photos I'm afraid! Actually managed to get to our city's better pearl shop yesterday, took a couple of photos but they are truly terrible (iPhone with artificial light). The chance of me getting back there are zero, they put the details of each pair I picked on file so when I decide they can...

One more decision to make, gold SS or white SS studs!
