Wow that was awesome Dave

I wish I had enough money to buy something as nice as this one.

I buy pen pearls at 9/cts for small/baroque or misshapen, the price also depends on how many are chipped or cracked. If you do have any interest in selling the lot, please contact me I will be away next week for Tucson.

Does anyone know if any of the cultured conch pearls will be available for sale in Tucson? I was told by a reliable source that they are on the market. I haven't seen Rose Pearl LLC listed as a vendor at any of the major shows though.

I meant the certificate is more for the general public. Public loves certs, even if they are from questionable labs.

Hi Antique37, Natural pearls are a really hot item in Canada. I'd say the estimate is probably in the correct range, you can check the hammer prices in Dupuis last auction in November, although most of the natural pearls that appeared in that are more uniform in shape. At the Canadian auction...

Are these pipi pearls? I'm still missing those for my collection

Ask if they are 3/4 Akoya pearls. If they are 3/4 then the price would be correct. Also some companies will use hollow post to save a little on the gold cost, however the pearl itself contributes more to the cost then the findings on higher quality prices. The price seems similar to the AA/AA+...

Hi Caitlin, My roommates have confirmed, please add 2 more guests. Thank you.

Hi Caitlin, It seems like my roommates might be interested in coming to this dinner as well. Are we just ordering food from the hotel or is there a restaurant in the hotel. We will most likely take a taxi to the Star pass. One is for sure coming, I'm waiting on confirmation from the other...

I don't think it was that company, I think my boss only purchased 50 plastic trays.

Hi Caitlin, can you please confirm me as a guest for the dinner? Thank you.

I wanted to go to that lecture. But I've already committed myself as a volunteer at the AGA conference. My Wednesday will be completely occupied with that from about 6am to 10pm. I did really want to see Elisabeth's lecture and hopefully get her to sign a copy of her book. Does anyone know if...

My boss purchased some at the Hong Kong jewellery show last year. They weren't cheap and I believe it was from a Japanese supplier. If I can dig up the name I will let you know.

I always liked the idea of raising a Melo Melo, as it is something that we can order at the pet store. But its food requirements are costly to maintain. It makes me wish I worked in a university to do research on culturing gastropod pearls for commercial purposes.

I will be in Tucson. Probably won't have time to do the pearl walk because I have a tight schedule, where is the dinner at?

Not impossible, but incredible difficult. As someone who works at a Marine pet store and has keep an aquarium running for years. It would be an incredible amount of work with little reward for your effort.

The irregularities on the pearls suggest cultured Akoya pearls. Hard to judge by the photos, possibly commercial quality. What size are they and what material is the clasp made from?

Hi, Just wanted some confirmation. I had some pearls Xrayed, I don't see too many xrays. I believe they are freshwater as I don't see any distinct boundaries. They are claimed to be Tahitian. Experts please weigh in.

Hi, Just thought I would share this pearl with everyone. I just like to enjoy the colours it has.
