Thanks very much, I'll try a bit harder for some better photos yet still. The Tahitian is so much easier to get it to look true to life. I didn't even know what a souffle was back then, thank you Jeremy to bringing them up! I've finished the clasp for the souffle, I decided not to use a...

Thanks very much guys, I appreciate it. The souffl? has so many different moods, it's fascinating. It's an overcast day here today and the colours in it are beautiful. I wore it to my exam today and got a few comments on it. Someone tolde they liked my opal! It would have been almost a year...

Thanks very much Bas, I have noticed the colours in the tahitian changing as I have been wearing it. It's fascinating. I've taken a few more photos, I'll take a better neck shot tomorrow in the sun. The souffle doesn't look that great in some of the lighting on my house, but outside it is...

Thanks very much. I had read here previously that you shouldn't judge a pearl right out of the package because they're cold and indoors. Here is what I have done with the Tahitian. And I have attached Jeremy's photos of my souffle because his are much better than mine show.

I've been wanting to get a pearl for a while now. Recently I contacted Jeremy from PP about getting one to put on leather and he suggested I might like a metalic freshwater. I had a look at his blog and I fell in love with the souffle pearls he has. Since he was having a sale at the time and...

So they would be thicker than the 0.8mm minimum then?

I've found a weight for a fishing line that is a smidge over 10mm and I do really feel it is a lot smaller than I was thinking. I have a roman coin that I was using as a reference to the size I wanted, I thought it was around 10mm, I arrived back in Brisbane and measured it, it's 19mm. Don't...

Sorry for the late reply, I've been on holidays and I took my phone into the ocean with me so no Internet for a few days. I got in touch with Josh, looks like swimming with it on, even in pools should be fine. One of the mana necklaces in 12mm is out of my price range, the 10mm would be within...

You're right, going direct to Galatea isn't the most economical option. They sent me their catalog and my god, the pearls are absolutely breathtaking. They are however $500-$900, so a bit out of my price range unfortunately. I'll give josh a yell and see what he has to say. I did notice the...

I've just done that now, thanks! Do you recall around how much they were?

I find the Galatea website hard to figure out? How do I figure out the pricing of their items? And do all of their pearls have the diamond set into them? That does put my mind at ease, I like to be able to leave things on continuously. That pearl does look very good in him!

I was looking at the Kamoka website before actually. How big was your husbands pearl? I found this while browsing in etsy. I like it quite a lot and it looks big enough...

Great idea! I'll do that. Where could I get a suitable 12mm pearl from? The ones at Pearl Paradise stop at 10-11mm. Will swimming with the pearl on be alright for it?

Hmmm I haven't had a pearl in hand to compare sizes myself so I was guessing a bit. I am quite tall (6'4") and I do have broad shoulders. I am still quite lean though. Would you think I need a bigger pearl? Thanks for the link. It's probably right in front of my eyes, but where do I see the...

I think if I pick from one of those two, I will go for the first as I like the blue shine it has and it is closer to round. Will the pearl be okay if I wear cologne as it won't be on the part of my neck/chest that I put cologne on? The only lotion I ever use on my chest is sunscreen, is that...

I do prefer the first one myself as well. The cord is round. If I go that route I will definitely ask. Is the nacre on a Tahitian likely to wear out after a few years? I am still not sure I am sold on them as I feel I am buying a pearl plated bead rather than a solid pearl if I go the...

These are the two I am looking at, they aren't round, but they look very close to it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-GORGEOUS-SUPER-COLORFUL-TAHITIAN-RARE-BRIGHT-COLORFUL-BLACK-PEARL-STUNNING-/380723764648?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58a4e79da8...

Is it difficult to widen the pearl myself? I wouldn't want to damage or crack it. I've got 2mm cord, how big should the hole be for that? I had been looking at those dyed freshwater pearls, the largest ones only come in AA+ grade though, I don't have any other pearls to compare what that would...

Thank you for the help everyone! I'm located in Australia, I do prefer to shop within Australia but I have found shopping for gemstones looking overseas seems to be the way to go. I can't recall all of the websites I've looked at but I have been on Pearl Paradise a lot and I usually open any...

Hey all, I've been lurking here for a few weeks. I am wanting to put a large pearl on a piece of leather to wear around my neck. I am looking at freshadama because they're closer to round than AAA quality pearls which is what I am after. A round Tahitian would be ideal but far to expensive for...
