Maybe I missed the email you are referring to, but even if I didn't miss it, I did not get the link until 4:27 pm et. So I'm still missing the chance to purchase. Today there was a Tahitian necklace with rare colors; 3 pairs of metallic earrings (freshwater) in rare colors, a metallic FW...

Well the previous VIP page said today's sale would be at 7 pm eastern. This quote is from the VIP Lot 5319: "I'm going to be adding special pearls here every week, and they are all one of a kind and every piece is shot with an iPhone - with NO Photoshop! Tuesday, May 7th at 4 PM EST - 1 PM...

I am not familiar with the Mikimoto pearls for Korean Air. But I have purchased Mikimoto AAA stud earrings from a licensed retailer, and the price was just over $1200. So I doubt they would be anywhere close in quality. That said if you like the quality of the pearls you are considering, then...

I would love to see the prices too. I got to the page too late, when everything was sold, so I couldn't see any prices.

I did not even see a Vietnamese akoya necklace! They must have taken it down, I guess.

Hi Katbran, the fireballs were going for in the $300's. They did go quickly. I did not try to purchase one because they are just not my taste. I did get the pair of studs, purple freshwaters. Not sure if I can post the picture here (I have not received them yet, hence no pictures taken by...

Kasumi pearls came from the Kasumi Lake in Japan - but I believe because of pollution the lake no longer produces pearls. Kasumi-LIKE pearls come from China - they have a similar rippled surface like the original Japanese ones. The Kojima Pearl web site describes these pearls and says there...

So I found an online listing for a fantastic looking Tahitian pearl necklace and the description stated: "Origin: Black Tahitian Pearl Processed Jewelry in China" I have always avoided buying non-freshwater pearls from China, because it didn't make sense to me that pearls produced elsewhere...

Congratulations on the pretty new strand! Can’t wait to see your photos.

In the black strand I see some other colors like blue and purple - are the pre-necklace pearls dyed in separate batches (blue, black, purple) then combined into the necklace? or am I missing something else?

Thank you Bweaves, Laguna, Patty and Daniel, I am SO thankful for your expert advice! I will pass on these and continue to learn more here at PG. Linda

I see your point "there is always more then one tone" - uniformity of color over a whole pearl (may) indicate it is dyed - but how far does that rule go - say, only to akoyas and tahitians, or perhaps all pearls?

Hello, I am still busy shopping for Akoya blue pearls. I recently bought two necklaces from Pearl Paradise and I'm absolutely in love with them; not just the color but the metallic super-shine also. Found these online from a seller I don't know anything about - I am considering purchasing...

I love the setting and the starfish! Enjoy it well...

Wow, that listing is so badly described. From title: "High Luster A 6.5-7mm White Nugget freshwater akoya pearl,nugget shape pearl,big tail akoya pearl,cultured pearl beads" From description: "Material: Freshwater Akoya Pearl, it's high luster and cheap"

“Tahitians” that are really dyed freshwater? “Tahitians” that are really dyed freshwater? Really trying to learn more about pearls .... Can anyone here please post some links to examples on eBay? Or, post some pictures? Or just send me a message if easier. Thanks in advance. Linda

Red, Love those colors in your pearls - you wear them so well - I never thought to put pendants together like that - beautiful!

Congratulations! It is a beautiful pearl with rare color!

Yes you are right, I stand corrected.

I've been trying to educate my eye and judgment in identifying types of pearls from photos. I think this is an easy one, but what do I know? Would appreciate very much your comments: Found this bracelet on ebay listed as "Mikimoto 8mm LARGE Pearl Bracelet 8" Long Sterling Clasp 16.8g Top...
