jennifer, I wouldn't buy it. They're asking good, hard-earned money for something which you WILL NEVER KNOW FOR SURE is a bona fide Tiffany creation. The photographs are few and terrible, which makes me suspicious right away. I like sellers with many clear close-up photos, who deliberately...

Is it the necklace here?: http://cgi.ebay.com/TIFFANY-CO-PEARL-30-NECKLACE-18K-CLASP_W0QQitemZ300252515131QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item300252515131&_trkparms=72%3A552%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ebayphotohosting CarolK

Effisk, This is exciting. I feel privileged to be able to one day see close-up photos of such a rare product of Nature! Thank you for this thread! CarolK

The Gas Pearls thread of 2006-2007 also paid homage to the stinky pearl dilemma. https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/cultured-pearls/579-gas-pearls.html#post11844 Must say, I'd forgive that big, metallic blue gas pearl if it spewed at me! CarolK

Pearl_dreams, your mabe pendant is totally RAD!!! So creative to include the surrounding flat area as a design element. Something about the shape and design reminds me of that solid gold face mask from antiquity of Alexander the Great. Beyond cool! I agree, it looks best with two Biwa strands...

That pear-shaped singleton is to die for!!! Yes, thanks for the photos! CarolK

If sellers are looking for an alternative to eBay, at least from a buyer's point of view, Ruby Lane seems like a good complex of online shops. Just Google Ruby Lane. They offer step-by-step instructions on getting started, and one can retain the option to auction items on eBay. The various...

Hello, everyone, Really, I end up reading these threads way too late. I have had *WONDERFUL*, downright heartwarming experiences on eBay. Be *proud* to have honest eBay businesses!!! I'm amazed that you guys are shy about this. The eBay sellers from whom I have bought things have worked hard...

Hi, Eugene, Not that I'm God's Gift to Pearldom by any means, but it's difficult for me to "see" pearls displayed on a polished, iridescent surface, such as the lovely shells you're using. It might be easier to judge the pearls were they displayed on an off-white or grey cloth, paper towel...

Sueki, It's amazing how all of your necklaces are so beautiful, yet with such different personalities! Before joining this forum, I had no idea pearls came in such expressive variety. Very good thing that these are not bracelets. That would make driving too difficult! CarolK

As a consumer, I think it only fair for merchants to mention anything potentially affecting a jewel's durability. I think more highly of shop owners who point out weaknesses in antique settings, flaws in stones, bleaching of pearls, and so forth. They seem less likely to fleece me than those...

Lessee!!! Lessee!!! CarolK

The "Must-Have" SS/Tahitian ring on page 73 is to die for. CarolK

Hahahaha!!! I could see myself disassembling it and forgetting how to put it back together again. Maybe it's modular and you can reassemble it in different ways.

Man, that's a great statement!!! Thanks, sleight, for sharing this necklace with us. It really does release me from the mundane. Jewelry doing what it does best!!! CarolK

But, the question before us is, can these pieces be reassembled into a weapon of World Domination? :eek:

Are you planning on restringing them to make a triplet? Or are you going to keep them "a la carte"? CarolK

Heidi, Those look absolutely STUNNING on you!!! I would never have thought of combining a solo lavender strand with two white strands. Really lovely. Also, nice job with the autofocus! CarolK
