    Thank you, I am very fond of these pieces. Mikimoto also had exactly the same settings but with blue saphires instead of diamonds, they were sold out very fast. My favorite piece is however SS white pearl with fire opal immitating splash of water. Now I cannot get hold of the picture, but it was...

    My pearls

    I saw your gorgeous green peacock Kamoka earings, I am glad that I did not have to decide between the two pairs :), it would have been very difficult! Although I must admit, that most people would not notice purpulish shade when the earings are worn, they perceive them as black. Perhaps peacock...

    My pearls

    Thank you, Pattye! Yes, I love to wear pearls almost everyday, and I think I like Tahitians, there are so many shades, although difficult to share in a picture.

    kamoka pearls

    What are the possible sources for purchasing Kamoka pearls? I thought Pearl Paradise carried them, but it appears that they do not have any. I have tried to purchase them directly, but the Pay Pal also does not seem to work, are they out business? Thank you for suggestions.

    looking for rose Akoya pearls

    I did some research on the web and I still do not understand clearly if rose/pink color is always artificial. I e-mailed Mikimoto (their Akoya pearls appear consistently pink). They replied categorically via e-mail that they do not color enhance their pearls. Ever. Yet the color of all their...
