    South Sea pearls - opinions on quality please?

    Hi Nurain, I'm not sure about all the pearl activity in Sabah, I am from your neighbouring state. Are there a lot of experimental farms around Sabah? Because from my understanding, Edward Kong's farm is the only commercial SSP farm in Malaysia. Has this changed? Your pearls are lovely!

    can you tell me if these are real pearls?

    If they are the 1960s they are likely to be natural colour akoyas then, and they do appear to have a creamy colour. Oh how beautiful! The pearls don't show much wear at all, do they? The pictures aren't really upclose, but they do look new. Such a good deal, I wish I had those akoyas!

    Hi Hisano! Wow I love that bracelet! I've been to your website before and I love how you placed the canary diamonds onto the shadow of the baroque pearl. It's a very unique design! Fingers are crossed for you too!

    Pearls make buying clothes easy!

    Hi Lisa, I do agree with you! and I am quite the minority. I'm not too big a fan of very dark colours, though I admit that quite a lot of times for meetings I do end up wearing them because I haven't quite made up my mind what a jewellery wholesaler/retailer is supposed to wear! Personally I...

    can you tell me if these are real pearls?

    You spent only $40 on the strand?! It definitely does look like cultured akoyas, with very nice lustre. my, that is really good work! Would you have any idea which year those akoyas were produced? It's probably well before the 70s? Very good buy, Max817! Congrats :D

    Pearls make buying clothes easy!

    oh definitely! fabulous jewellery makes dressing up so much easier. It also brings out the uber feminine side of a woman. The type of jewellery one wears definitely speaks of the personality of that person!

    Do pearls hold their value?

    How about in auctions? Wouldn't they sell at a good price?

    If you could only have one pearl book, which would it be?

    Thanks for that Pearl Dreams! I will keep that in mind. When I was at the GIA booth this Sept I did flip through Matlin's book and did think that it was pretty good. However I didn't get a chance to look at the Newman one, so thanks for that information.

    Natural pearls?

    The necklace does remind me of button freshwater pearls...but I'm not a natural pearl expert! Please post the results after you see a jeweller, I'd be very interested to know the outcome.
