Hello! To be honest, I have to ask her if they are from the Digby side or the East coast off NS. I will post an update when I know. But yes, a very beautiful collection with some pearls showing some of that patchwork fire and even some with glossy almost aurora like "swishes". I think she...

Hello guys! A young lady came to my studio a few days ago with an amazing collection of scallop pearl given to her by a friend. She intended to add them to her aquarium but decided to come by first!!! I was floored. NOT aquarium material. I've managed to match some quite well and there are...

extremely similar, yes... Do you ever come accross some that have "super lustre"? Once in a while, I come accross a M.Ed. natural that has mirror-like lustre, always white ones, usually 2-4mm and usually quite round, with sharp clean silver/ light rainbow overtones/ lustre. I'm trying to figure...

Beautiful, Dave. Beautiful! I would absolutely adore visiting your side of Canada... Hi guys :-) !!! Summer here in Nova Scotia too, but I haven't had much time for my own mydulis e pearl hobby. I am very much enjoying reading about your journey Dave. You have beautiful photos too. Pierrette

So with Mytilus californicianus you're getting pinks... M. edulis and M. trossulus (and hybrids) seem to be my wild ones... not many in the pink realm, more purple to cream with many dull greys, but they do look similar. (try a

hmm... very interesting...

it's cute, what does the other sides look like?

Would I ever adore speaking with you for a day or two!!! :) From BC to NS and similar situations. They do look a lot like the blue mussel pearls. Maybe I missed it, but did you post any of the "in-situ" pics. Shells? Most of my collection comes from Nova Scotia (Atlantic or Bay of Fundy) and...

hehe... well, it's very interesting. I'm not sure about "swan"... The blue is great. I'm having a difficult time taking a decent photo. It's very much dark-bright blue and creamy-white. The pearl beside it is a very round, very smooth, light blue-lavender mussel pearl as well. That one is quite...

Hi, I actually haven't had a chance to use any of theirs. I did have the intention, but I guess I never got around to it... oops. I spoke with Mr. Par? and I`m quite sure that I would have to be interested in a substantial amount to make it worth their time. They have a good thing going with...

I've enjoyed this thread. I haven't had a chance to read every message so I'm sorry if you know the following already. In 2007 I met a fellow french Canadian, Pierre Par? from western Canada that owns Korite International, ammolite mining to fine jewelry design. Very interesting story...

Hi, yes I do. Only a few. One very large dark blue and striated white (9mm ish) mussel pearl that is interesting. It isn't "gem" quality but the size of it was surprising. I really think it comes from a M. modiolus. The others are smoother and rounder but all less than 5mm and mostly...

long time no see long time no see Hello guys. I've been "away"... I've gone full tilt into a new product line that has blossomed and is taking up 50-60 hrs/wk. HeartString Baby's Companions... steep learning curve! NOTHING having to do with natural pearls, cultured pearl or jewelry design...
