Pearls are indeed chamaleonic and mesmerizing!

I am awaiting to hear the results. I LOVE it when people find they have a hidden treasure right under their nose...or on the neck!

Stabbie Self-Defense LOL Since Halloween is almost upon us...maybe a small vampire "pearl stake" would be in order? Can you please tell us your thoughts on this year's HK show? What drew your attention there?

All Hail the Pearl Market! May it continue to grow and expand for decades to come!

I don't remember any studies of grafting between maxima and fucata...but both species can be found living in the same area in countries such as Indonesia, Australia, Myanmar, the Philippines. You can find these papers online, and read the abstracts...sometimes this is all you need to read to...

Lovely beauties!

Unfortunately, these two Pteria species live quite far apart from each other, so it is not very easy to try and do this. You would require having healthy, live individuals of both species next to each other for grafting to be possible...and this is not easy at all. The Japanese tried for...

I really think that one should feel something like a "Wow!" factor when buying anything: a phone, laptop or jewelry. If you don't get this...well, its a very tepid "Meh!" and I would rather not spend my hard-earned money on it. Stock photos are also not my thing, especially if you are buying...

Great idea!

I agree 100%

Hi there Ping. I can vouch for Pearl Paradise since the owner is a dear friend of mine and I am a customer too! But there are many reputable vendors out there. I have purchased different varieties of pearls for my fiancé, and she likes to mix-&-unmatch them...so, I guess this is a personal taste...

A mix of white freshwater pearls and dyed freshwater pearls.

Looks really nice Linda! And they do remind me of transistors! Brought back memories of visiting Radio Shack for my electronic projects.

It immediately gave me Faux pearl vibes.
