Boy, that's scary... I should clearly spend less time looking at pearls ;)

Naan, do pairs happen to come from tadragon? I remember they had some similar ones couple of month ago?

Another option would be to consider dangles instead of studs (presuming your girlfriend wears dangles). Normally I only wear up to 7,5 mm studs, as I have tiny earlobes, but can wear easily up to 12 mm dangles. BTW, funnily I would be perfectly fitting into Naan's theory ;)

Cool, so there are molusks to produce the pearls there. Thank you Cailin and Cyril Now, do you guys happen to know whether Red sea pearl play any role in the jewellery industry? Everyone knows about tahitians, SS or even Fiji pearls, but not about red sea. Is it a quantity or quality issue or...

Pinctada Radiata seems to be correct - http://www.kasparek-verlag.de/PDFs/067-074%20Wronski.pdf Boy, I am reading articles on marine zoology :p

Lately I got to hear often about the Red sea pearls. However when I did a search on them, I did not find so much about their quality and application. The ones I have seen were looking like steel-grey tahitians. Looking in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_oyster), I found that there...

Very nice dressy piece. Can be easily dresses up or down. Lately the ideas of the smaller pearls jewellery is floating in the air. I think i might get infected too. I was thinking of a long rope of 3 mm pearls to wear a heavy pendant.

Wow, already a fourth pearl this month. Enjoy your find. There were just shortly another two discussion about oyster pearls. There might be even more - just use the search function, but the latest are: https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7413&highlight=PeArl+in+oyster...

Another factor to consider is that with the time, most ladies prefer larger earrrings, or pearls in general. That would mean that if you go with 9-10 mm it is more likely that your girlfriend would wear them for years. However you might want to check that the butterflys (backs) are large...

Ivona, thank you, I am pretty sure I would have "misread" the pictures. This is highly informative. And, it goes without saying, you have some exquisite pearls.

Today I was browsing the catalogue of one of the auction houses and found some interesting lots. As there are some genuine natural pearl lovers here, i wanted to share 1) Necklace with ORIENTal pearls, clasp YG 585/000, tested, approx. 1920s, 1 diamond navette approx. 0,30 ct Crystal/si...

To start this thread, I am happy to post comparison photos of my Tahitian necklace. Purchased from local vendor. Please find below vendors photos Own photos : https://www.pearl-guide.com/threads/my-unexpected-tahitians.6972/ Did I get the right impression from vendors photos: mostly...

In another thread there was a discussionthat Tahitians are hard to buy online as it is often difficult to estimate what kind of pearls will be getting based on the 'glamour photos' from the vendors's sites. It would be great to put together some examples how different pearls look in real life...

Great, then will do so shortly.

Dawn, you are making exquisit designs. I absolutely loved that fan coral collection.

Dear Fiona, I absolutely understand that you went to the local jeweller in your search for a necklace in the first hand. Besides, I feel it is very hard to fell in love with something over internet. As for your concerns about the nacre issues. Did you have a chance to adress this with your...

Perlinda, those were a great finds. ;) Ivona and Elisha, those are beautiful rings you've got

I would say that the example shown here is quite an extreme case. Surely there is some wear but as a rule it is not that significant. Especially for necklaces I would not expect such dramatic results soon.

Very beautiful indeed, Lizard. The earrings show really nice overtones
