That first ring I think is the loveliest! Perhaps someone here could make you a ring to the design you describe..

Pattye - those cufflinks are really lovely. Ok, so I can't have a 20mm Peacock Tahitian. :) I'm open to a smaller one then. Looking.....

Ok, thank you Caitlin, that's interesting to know. I will research more online about these pearl-producing creatures.

DK - singing, organ, and piano = fab! Now that I sing in a choir and often have the organ or piano accompany us I appreciate you wanting to do that. I'm living your childhood life now. ;-) I went to a hippy school that didn't have a uniform for anything but Games. Then it was green with yellow...

Breathtakingly beautiful pearls. Also very interesting for me to see the short film. The film brings it home that it is these small sea creatures that produce the pearls. Are they hurt by any of this? Do they feel pain and/or die giving us these pearls??

As for the colour of orange... My son likes orange, it's his favourite colour - but he's three years old. :-D Orange pearls? They instantly remind me of Easyjet. Cheap, bargain basement, discount garish orange pearls. No thanks!

Spam pretending not to be spam, is very obviously spam. I don't mind seeing links to all kinds of places during discussions to illustrate the good, the bad, and the ugly. But I take offense to people pretending to ask a question or pretending to debate a topic, when actually all they want is a...

Good luck. How exciting. The long, slow burn. The marathon of finding, collecting, adding to... Something to always treasure. Thank you for sharing your adventure. When do we get to see the next pearl? :)

Oooooh look at that 17.5mm grey!!!!!! How much? Hahaha. ;-) P.S. My husband is fantastic in that he's not the slightest bit worried if anyone ever thinks he might be gay. Although he's a total Alpha Male he's not sexually threatened by anything that's not decreed to be hetro by society...

Well, the money for these haven't been taken out of my account, and naturally, I haven't received anything yet. Looks like maybe the website is defunct, although it did let me put all my information through. Feeling uneasy about it now. So they have all my banking details but no order has been...

Thank you everyone. Maybe Wendy and I can find something together for my husband's 50th birthday present. :)

P.P.S. Looking at the links I think my husband would prefer a lose pearl to treasure or cufflinks. And how do you pronounce Tahitian? Is it TahiSHAN or Tahiti-an?? Now I want to know all about shapes. As far as I know at the moment there are: rounds, drops, baroques (do all baroques have...

P.S. I have had a few bad experiences with buying items from America (eg a keyboard and something else I can't remember) and although I thought it was a good price and reasonable shipping costs, I had to pay import duty or something like that which bumped the price up by a lot. Should I try to...

Sea Urchin - yes what a horror! However I don't think I could get away with buying him a beautiful Tahitian and then wearing it myself!! Much too obvious. :-D Wow thank guys for your wonderful replies. I had no idea that size would be so expensive. Thus starts my Tahitian journey. I have 2.5...

My husband doesn't really wear any jewellery apart from his wedding ring (which he never takes off!) so I don't think I want to give him anything he can wear (he does wear cufflinks regularly though - just remembered). Our relationship was rocky for the first eight years, but the last two years...

Yes of course, I'd be delighted with any PMs. :) With the ?160 necklace it says on the certificate that will come with it: Luster AAA Body AA Shape AA Not sure what commercial grade means so I will go and research that now. Edited to say: Just noticed you're talking in dollars and...

Thank you very much everyone. Very sensible advice. It's quite simple. I actually DO want a classic strand of pearls. I know what I want: 16" length necklace Approx 10mm size Pearls, as long as they're real Not a nasty cheap clasp Not more than about ?200 I found the website I posted the link...

This neckalce description is confusing me: http://buypearls.co.uk/pearl-necklaces?product_id=179 Any ideas?

Eeek, oh really? That's a bit worrying.. The website I bought them from is: http://store.pearlplum.co.uk/index.asp

I know. It's weird. One day I was sitting outside watching my twins play on their bikes chatting with a friend when I caught sight of her ears. There were two tiny pearls sitting in her ears and they looked utterly and completely gorgeous. I just gasped and said, "are those pearls??" She told me...
