Yes I agree with you that those disposable, paper thin masks are not much use... The 3M paint/asbestos masks that strap around your head are much better - that is also what I use. But how often do you need to replace the filters that attach onto them? Hmm it has been a while for mine...

Oh no worries! Accurate photography of these mysterious orbs is probably the hardest part!

JP - yes in those latest pics the colors are more visible. The colors of the pearl comes out more when one is able to get rid of some of the reflections, thanks to the shading from the bowl. Overall, pearls are so reflective, that they bounce all the light right back which creates some glare on...

Katbran I love that design. I'm wondering if you could make some more. PM'ing you now.

Such great pearls Sarah. I am sure you'll make something amazing with them. BWeaves, the Lightmix Pastels are some of my favorites too. Delicate and light and classy, with definite color but not as bold colors as say, my Peacock mix. Kalmen, regarding your question about the photos: I am...

It's always such a delight to see what you do with the pearls JP! And as far as the drilling goes - my goodness, you've already mastered it. Nailing those points correctly and getting the bit to come out exactly on axis on the other side is no easy task on pearls such as those (with such sharp...

This is too funny! ;)

Hi Sarah, It's airing next on Thursday May 5th at 6pm E.T on NAT GEO WILD Channel. You can also view it on live tv online (at Nat Geo Wild) if you have a cable subscription. Enter your user name and password for your cable subscription and you'll be able to watch it on the website - if you do...

Yes I also thought the cinematography was just beautiful. But I agree it was more a nature show about the Kimberley region, it's animals, its wild places - and some insights into the dangers the shell divers face - but not so much about the actual culture of the pearls. Still really glad I...

Yes I saw those - some great videos there Jersey!

Hi Tam - ah this is you! 😀 I haven't forgotten you! Lol. I will be emailing you very soon - today.

Those are beauties. Congrats!

I saw today in an article on JCK online that the date for the documentary is set for April 28th - on Nat Geo Wild channel. http://www.jckonline.com/blogs/chain/2016/04/24/7-things-you-probably-dont-know-about-pearls Looking forward to this. Should be a great view!

Great video! Very informative. I had no idea that the Chinese First Lady was a singer either. But she sure has people talking about the pearls she wears - Creating a fashion trend in China! I have known for a while that all kinds of pearls were popular with the Chinese, whose middle class is...

Lagoon - thank you for showing us the picture of your tiny naturals! They are enthralling. I also love tiny pearls but the smallest size in Tahitians is 7mm. (which is mostly what I work with.) And they aren't always easy to find as farmers usually go for 8mm as the smallest size in a...

That's a beauty!

Even though I love their jewelry pieces, there are some things I haven't understood about their approach to selling online. For example, I always wonder why they don't disclose prices on their website. I know that they are very high end and expensive - but is this the reason? I have asked them...

Thanks for posting this! I, like everyone else, am always so in awe of the Yoko pieces! OMG! The others are nice too of course, but there is something super striking about the creativity and wow factor of those Yoko necklaces.

That is a really pretty abalone pearl! The shape is especially gorgeous. Very round, slightly oval shape. Which is incredibly rare in an abalone pearl. I would love to know where you found it?

That is a lovely pair of pearls! Well done!
