How exciting for you. Love the rope and the luster is wonderful. The look great with the blue akoya. The ring is equally beautiful. Congratulations on the new Tahitians.

Ebay is a den of fraud with pearls right now. I would be very leery of anything on there.

JP...Hahaha, shame on you :)

pearls cultured without mantle tissue?

Still enjoying the Kamoka's from a rehoming on Loupetroop. Tried to take a better picture.

Such beautiful earrings. Happy Birthday!

I love this site. Learning so much and appreciate the time to teach about the pearl industry. I have an Akoya strand that I believe to be at least 40-60 year old and are still wonderful (another for the record). My mother's strand is 50 and going strong.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful jewelry and memories of your mother. Her taste was fantastic. Loved the multi-colored gold, the pearls, the precious gems. The sapphire was magnificent. Love the color of that sapphire. It's an honor you have shared so much of your life with us, it gives the...

Really brings home WHY it's important to know and trust your vendor. I thought it was very interesting too.

You started this thread with wonderful pieces - love your mermaid. Thank you! Looking forward to the pictures to come.

Thanks so much Jeremy! It is for a good cause.

This is for https://www.facebook.com/PearlPartyEducation on Facebook. I am trying to help folks understand that their "Akoya" are freshwater. Started smashing freshwater pearls the other day and it has been an effective attention getter. A few still need to see a broken Akoya (hammer smashed...

Hi PG folks. Does anyone have a high-quality picture of an Akoya pearl showing the interior bead? I would like to use the picture on the Facebook page. I do not have a stray akoya at my house, or I would perform a hammer test. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Dave. I appreciate your faith in the project and the support from you and other PG true experts.

Thanks JP. UGH, tonight I had three messages from new wannabe salespersons and one in tears because her "Akoya" weren't Akoya and she just purchased several hundred dollars into her business and she did not want to be dishonest. I *almost* wrote a really nasty post about the fact if I sold...

Hey Dave, I will be contacting you through your website with some additional info that came from a Facebook visitor. I did get the person's ok to share, but don't want to post publically.

Agreed. This is a problem.
