I will try some photos on the next sunny day! In person the colors are not as strong as the photo that I posted, but it varies a lot depending on the light (as I am learning about pearls).

My favorite also is that large green Tahitian, outstanding!

Not necessarily expensive, nor does jurisdiction necessarily matter, because if the letters are effective, and the offender deletes your image, then you've got what you wanted. Just sayin' cause that's been my experience.

The right-click deterrent is easily gotten around. The only thing I have found to work is a stream of letters from an attorney, threatening legal action, if the image is not removed. Keep checking for the image, and if not removed, send another letter, and so on. Talk to a copyright attorney...

Lilliefuzzysocks, your custom dyed freshwater pearls are beautiful, but I believe very much *unlike* 99.99% of the dyed freshwater s on the market today.

Katbran and Pearl Dreams, can you provide some clues about how you tell dyed vs. natural color pearls, from the photos? Thanks so much Linda

Unbelievably beautiful! Congratulations! Linda

I find that with every new hobby or passion, I go through a learning curve that takes at least 2-3 years. My earliest purchases are often mistakes, but I learn more with each item (I never spend much in the early phase). I also work to "acquire an eye", meaning that more and more, I can...

I notice a long baroque or keshi silver pearl in this rope, that I do not see in the one for sale. But this is not the Sarah one, correct?

The web sie also says "new necklace" and 2017 as "date of manufacture". My iPad mini cannot see the price or most of the pictures.

Wow incredible! I see the web ad is by a jewelry store in Berkeley CA.

I will try to post a photo. Maybe a gray color would be most unobtrusive. But also, good idea, I'll get several colors. So far I only have white. Linda

What color thread (I plan to use Beader's Secret) would you recommend for Tahitians? They are neither dark gray nor silver, but kind of in between.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you confirmed what I thought. I have planned to try stringing myself, and bought some stuff from Pattye, but have not yet started my project, which is restringing an old bracelet. I will thoroughly study the tutorial here before making my first attempt. Thanks for...

I'm in love with a pearl bracelet but the pearls are strung without knots in between them. This is not good, I assume, because over time the pearls will rub each other and cause some wear (am I correct?). I'm just wondering if I should spend the money and then need to have them restrung. The...

Wow this sounds like loads of fun! I would like to join online ... I just need to visit my friend to borrow her high speed connection. What facebook name should I look for? Linda

Thank you Pearlescence, but I don't have any of that content on the home page. Perhaps if you are an Administrator, you see a different screen. Is it the home page of www.pearl-guide.com, or another site? Could you please just post a link to the videos page? Thanks very much!

The edition I have is subtitled "The Personal Collection of Elizabeth II"; copyright 1987; and it has 192 pages. It is a hardback. I hope you find it! Linda P.S. I have not seen the other book, so sorry I can't comment on it.

I'd like to recommend a book with beautiful photos, "The Queen's Jewels" by Leslie Field. Fabulous photos of the Queen's personal and family jewels, including many pearls. One of my all-time favorite books about great jewels. Linda
