    My freshadamas and more.....

    What a great collection. Thanks for sharing. And yes, my cat and dog love to stick themselves in the middle of whatever I am doing.

    How to identify this strand?

    Yes, your second set of pictures is better. Can you get even closer - like a few pictures of only a couple pearls? And did you try the tooth test? How do they feel when you rub them along the bottom of your teeth?

    How to identify this strand?

    Lucky you to get such a nice gift. Try taking pictures with the pearls on a white paper towel and use the macro feature on your camera if you have it (tricks I learned from reading threads on PG). This will allow you to take clear close ups. Then, identifying the pearls may be easier. I...

    I agree with Perle. They look very nice together. Wear them knowing they look great!

    Pearl Farm in the Sea of Cortez

    Wow, those colors are great. I like pearls more and more everyday. I love having all the pearl farmers and sellers involved. Its a fun and educational experience.

    A cross-country showroom visit?

    Mental weakness is always an issue. So many pretty pearls, how can a girl (or guy) choose just one?

    A cross-country showroom visit?

    If its a real possibility, I would definitely make the trip. I see it as a once in a lifetime type of thing. Consider the whole experience to be part of your birthday/anniversary gift. Throw in a nice dinner to celebrate (after you buy the pearls and can wear them, of course) and its a nice...

    Chocolate FW - Rose or Yellow Gold?

    I emailed Kristen about findings for earrings. I haven't heard back yet, but I'm hoping its something they have available (just not on display) or something they can get.

    Chocolate FW - Rose or Yellow Gold?

    I am going to purchase the PP Chocolate FW necklace special, but I have a question. I asked on another post, but only got one response; I don't think it was the best location to ask. Anyway, here goes. I would like to purchase the necklace and have pearls taken out to make drop earrings. I...

    PP's March special is here - Chocolate FW

    Yay, I think my husband bought the International Women's Day idea. But I need some advice. I am thinking of ordering the necklace and having it shortened and with the extra pearls having drops made. I emailed PP to ask about rose gold clasp and findings. I'm not sure I would like a yellow...

    PP's March special is here - Chocolate FW

    This is going to cause a problem. There's no reason for me to get a gift in March. Maybe Happy Spring? They look great; I've already send my husband and email.

    This is so awful!

    Those pictures are terrible. I knew garbage dumping in the ocean existed, but I never thought about it just sitting there forming is own island. I read something recently that China has eliminated the distribution of plastic bags less than a certain thickness. I guess thats a step in the...

    Storing pearls in a safe

    I have a safe and I keep all my jewelry in it, except for my pearls. I also have insurance for all my jewelry. I have a blanket policy to cover anything less than $2500 - this includes watches. And then I have an individual policy for anything over $2500. Although I would be replacing my...

    Storing pearls in a safe

    I understand the body's natural oils to be good for the pearls, but that you need to clean them with a soft cloth after you wear them, to remove excess oil and prevent build up. I guess its one of those moderation type of issues. I must comment on the orchids. I have been telling husband...

    Gem Quality CFWP vs Akoya

    Here is a link to last night's debate provided by CNN.com. About 15 seconds and 1:35 in there is a shot of Hillary and her pearls. Its not the clearest of shots, but that may just be my connection. You can see the individual pearls though...

    Finally I can take a decent pearl photo!

    Wow, the picture looks great. I'd be curious to see pictures of the same strand without the photo box setup.

    How do you care for your freshwater pearls?

    I save all my receipts and original boxes for anything I consider nice - jewelry, silver and purses. Are pearl folders the type of storage that literally has four sides that fold over the pearl and each other? The way you would close a storage box. I remember my grandmother had something like...
