    Much nicer on photographs?

    I was taking photos to show my friends my new buy and it seems the colour and luster looks so much nicer on the camera even if no flash has been used. How do you assess stuff on ebay to discount this luster?

    Freshadama questions

    The luster looks really good. The colour is sweet. I can see why you say that the shape is not perfectly round. However, I believe it has been mentioned on the forum that different pearl vendors look out for different aspects of these gem quality FW. Pearl Paradise's Jeremy Shepard mentioned...

    They look so pretty, your new chokers! Did you ask for 'something-from-the-back'? I don't see it on the website... Qn, doesn't sweat and body oils directly impact the pearl drops that are strung onto the leather strap since the drill hole is open? I wear some chokers with leather strap and...

    technical opinions please: metal against pearl

    Oh, I've just had a thought! This design would also look incredible with those coloured Tahitians from Josh that Sheri bought. https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2051 Yummy! However, it may cause one to experience a curious lightening effect on one's purse. :D

    Some nice finds from E-Bay

    I think you deleted too much - that's why it didn't turn out. Leave the opening with (QUOTE: member;post number) and the last bit with (/QUOTE). The curve brackets have been substituted with square brackets for this reply to work.

    Sticking my NECK out here :) Asking for opinions

    Hear, hear! Personally, I've always felt that very good pearls always makes a woman subtly stand out because its softer glow, especially, when she's standing nearby. Diamonds do not give a woman that particular quality - the glitter of the gem draws attention to itself and overpowers the...

    Gem Quality CFWP vs Akoya

    Some years ago, I saw someone wearing a double strand very white 5-6mm akoya pearl choker and since then, I have always associated small pearls with multistrand. I think small pearls look too lonely sitting there without friends... :D

    Gem Quality CFWP vs Akoya

    1. FWP. Akoyas for the second strand. 2. I am 5ft 2in. I find that 17" is the goldilocks zone for strand lengths. 3. Bigger is always better for cultured FW/akoya pearls since they never go up to mardi gras size 4. Body colour. Some prefer a rose tint.
