I love them all! Chunky studs and tiny keshi. Today I'm in dark Edisons from PP and Kasumi and amethyst earrings from Kojima. They don't match, but they go.

I vote BUBBLES!!!! I love mismatched pearls. Today I'm wearing Kamoka black and white studs in 9mm. They're actually eggplant and pale blue.

Pearly Librarian: I see what you mean about the spacing on your other ear, but honestly, it's barely noticeable.

These look like imitation pearls to me.

I've had a thought! My mother had a double strand of Mikimoto pearls. They were originally two strands, and she had them restrung on her own clasp. The pearls are Mikis, but the clasp is not. I wonder if that's the case with your pearls? About your MP in a clamshell makers mark...

Two lovely akoya necklaces!

I understand their policies. It does sound like they don't recognize the MP as a legit Mikimoto hallmark.

Pomelo, love your big stud journey (oops, that came out wrong). JEG, love your blues!!!! I'm also going blue today, but with Lapis and white Rice Krispie pearls. Whenever I wear my Mom's Rice Krispies, I totally get Hisano's love of small pearls. Worn with a large feather pendant from...

Try contacting Mikimoto America and see what they say about the hallmark.

From green to red. Little h ruby pendant and earrings. These have become some of my favorite pieces to wear with jeans.

I love your 5/6/7 mm studs! I like the spacing between them. The balance is very pleasing. Beware of PSS!!!! Pearl Shrinkage Syndrome is real. The older you get, and the more pearls you collect, the bigger you want them. I used to not like large pearls. I thought they were a bit too...

I gave Dragon a wash and the pearls improved, although the knots are still a bit grimy looking.

Again, that second necklace, the clasp does not look like any Mikimoto clasp I've ever seen. The karat gold is 9K which is very low for a Mikimoto clasp. 9K is an English karat gold. America would have used 10K for a low karat gold. Mikimoto would have used 18K gold. For the second...

Mom's dragon torsade. I did take a photo wearing them, but I managed to have the clasp upside down, doh! Freshwater rice krispie pearls. 12 strands. They're very iridescent, and slightly peachy pink. They probably need a good wash, but I don't relish restringing this necklace. The...

You've got an original certificate number. That helps a lot. I've never seen that clasp or stamp on the back before. Mikimoto America can probably give you more information.

They are luminous. They really glow in your photos.

What an interesting setting. I'm wondering if these are naturals, too.

Welcome PearlyLibrarian. I love your collection. It's not easy being green, Pistachio edition. I just bought a new phone today. Pistachio green. Mixed tin-cup, ombre' Tahitian tin-cup, and pistachio Tahitian studs from Kojima. Pistachio baroque akoyas from PP. It was the only strand...

Gorgeous pearls, JEG. It's not easy being green. little h enhancer, tin-cup, and earrings with emeralds.

WOWZA. Gorgeous window shopping. Visiting Dad today. One of my Dad's lady friends fondled my pearls. A fellow pearl lover. Ocean's Cove TNT necklace (Tourmalines and Tahitians). Longer Tahitian strand from Kojima, I think. Tahitian pendant "La Perlagrina" from Kamoka. Opal and...
