Mka4972, may I know if the pearls will come off because of the glue? One of my fw came off the post - I think I got it wet too many times.

I didn't know tin cups required so much work. They look so simple and elegant! Great colors, Jeremy!

Whew!! Nice buy!

I love that idea - although I don't wear bracelets. I think it would be nice for bridesmaids, if the bride is looking for a gift for them.

Hmmm... I use to have a jade piece on a leather cord and found that the leather cord 'collects' sweat and dirt. Half a year of use I had to throw away the leather cord to buy a new one.

Perhaps Titanium is not thought of as jewelery more a functional metal? For instance, Titanium spectacle frames are useful because they are not suppose to break.

Oh, I remember that post. Bluepawprint mentioned baroque/circle is not often seen in Singapore. It was in the thread where she was talking about her purchase of a strand of baroque tahitians.

That is such a fantastic tip! Another alternative: you could look inside your wardrobe to see if you wear more pink or peach. Usually we pick the colors that look good on us. (Unless you wear black all the time.)

knottypanda->ROTFLMAO!! Thanks Terry and Mka4972! So, in short, economies of scale can't really apply since other factors are involved (skilled labour and gold) even if the quality of the pearl is the same. Got it!

Great comments! I guess you all are right: there is an economies of scale in buying more pearls. I really like the style using large SSP or Tahitian round pearls - it looks marvelous with a off shoulder dress. I find a full strand more practical for everyday wear.

I was looking at some necklaces and I noticed that the Tin Cups costs more than a full strand. Are the pearls on the tin cups better than a full strand? Any PGer has experiences to share?

While I do find them interesting as a concept but I still don't get it. *ducks for cover*

Hey! You know this stuff well! ;) Burying in the ground also works. Not sure how practical this is for anyone... Sorry, way off topic: it seems that if you leave crystals out in the sun (and moon) for 49 days, the crystals become fully charged with super powers - not sure what super powers...

Strange that the Taihitian govt doesn't take the opportunity to run a cartel for the pearls to control prices. It makes it much easier, isn't it for pearl sellers?

Love that look! You would make a very dramatic entrance with that piece. Are you wearing it with a chain or a necklace?

Absolutely yummy! The orient is very clear. Gorgeous!

Items that gorgeous may be extremely expensive but may not be collectible - in the sense that by holding it, its value may rise unlike such as pipes, art, pens, stamps, antique furniture. Jewelery is expensive because of its uniqueness so, I think that only by making it more unique then it's...

Wow the pendent is delicious! They look like the blue eyris pearl that was mentioned some time ago on the forum - are they?

The quick reply feature is great! You may want to try edit profile picture? Edit: oops, no that didn't work....

Wow! The design is so interesting. I think it will be a great heirloom piece.
