Has anyone read Antoinette Matlin's Definitive Buying Guide for Pearls? GIA carries it too, any feedback on that book? How does it compare to Renee Newman's book?

oh yes, that's right! sorry Ivona, I had a really "duh" moment there. Hmm I'll have to find a design that I can carry off! here are some designs I found on the net, let's see if anyone can give some feedback on designs. I've attached four designs here, the images don't belong to me. Which one do...

oh right!! ok i shall bring some white vinegar along with me next time I see her. It would be interesting!

Thank you everyone! Oh my isn't that a big compliment from you Douglas! My pearl feels very honoured... Ivona, how are you planning to set yours? Any stones to be in the ring? if the pearl has a very small base to sit on, I'm a bit worried about banging into it all the time, i'm not the most...

Hehe thanks Amrita! I think I'll be making it into a ring too, though I would feel sad that I will only get to see one half of the pearl when it's set that way. Ivona, it is indeed a little sister to your pearl! How very sweet of you <3

that's a very interesting article you have there Cyril! thank you!

Hi all, I know this pearl isn't as stunning as Ivona's on the thread https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6632...but I thought I would post it anyway! I really like this pearl, the colours are so preetttyyy it makes my heart skip a beat when I roll it around my palm. It's not...

Wow...that is a lot of lousy nucleus that was seized there. I couldn't find out what "stoup" means...google translate gave me holy water! sorry I haven't managed to post another photo of the cracked pearl, I've not seen my friend for some time, will catch up with her soon enough.

Hi Kenny, I understand if you are doubtful of trusting people on the internet, and no one is forcing you to post a photo if you don't want to. However from the way you've talked about your pearl...it really sounds to me that you have been conned in China. If GIA testing is the way you want to...

The hat toppers look amazing, they look like 24K pure gold.

Fantastic costumes, Jeremy! Superwoman looks absolutely super!

So pretty! Sigh...

that's so pretty!!! and I love your Tahitian pearl ring too!

thanks for the link to the skins, they are pretty amazing! that's the first time i've even heard of anything like that. wish me luck...hopefully i'll get to make the diffused light white tent this week...and also spray paint my camera (kidding!)

well it was a great suggestion anyway lisa! reminds me that next time i shop for a digital camera, I should get a white one! eliminates all problems...haha

Hi Cyril, I will give those a try...will look up Zoner Photo studio. and yes i was after freeware! Photoshop is so expensive!

Hi Cyril, I just looked at the link, that is so very creative! i think i can easily make that and place some LED desk lamps next to the tent to create the diffused daylight effect. I shall attempt to make it this weekend. hohoho. how exciting!

I use a PC, thanks for your tips Cyril, I am checking out the link.

yes, the white digital camera idea is cool...but spray paint on a camera, how can i prevent the camera from getting spoilt? 2005 wasn't that long ago...it's amazing how much technology has improved since then!

Hmm post photography editing. What software would you recommend besides photoshop? and about painting my black digital camera white... i don't think i know how to do that without spoiling my camera! hahaha that is a really cool idea though. maybe i should also wear white gloves when taking...
