    Japanese Kasumi vs. Chinese "Look-a-likes"

    Thank you for that info. I normally worry about nacre thickness, but they are so beautiful I got swept away and didn't care. It's good to know they're more hardy than akoyas.

    My new pearls

    I took a picture tonight of these pearls on the sunporch at dusk and inside the dark house a bit later with no flash. It's amazing that they just can't help but glow. Outside at sunset: Inside, no flash, no lights: They're beautiful no matter what the lighting situation is. I'm just in awe.

    My new pearls

    Cecilia-the clasp is an S hook, which I was firmly against until I tried one and loved it. lol. There are gold beads between the pearls, and I absolutely trust the artist who made it. This is definitely not an everyday necklace so I imagine it's going to be fine. It's also knotted between...
