I hope Douglas can answer this.

I'm waiting for your new goodies, BN :)

Agree, her tiara is special. She's so pretty!

Here's a picture of my collection of naturally occurring exotic-colored ssp. Just to give you an idea. I bought them from different vendors known by the members here.

Those are very colorful keshis, eolian pearls! Tiny but mighty!

Definitely not dyed because dyed pearls have different looks. This particular one is placed with natural-colored golden south sea pearls. There are naturally occurring exotic-colored south sea pearls but they're rare.

I've seen one peach colored golden south sea pearl in a shop in Antwerp. If it weren't sold by a reputable pearl vendor I'd mistake it as a nuked fwp, really.

Thanks Lilpearl, Pearlie Sue, eolian pearls and lisa c for your compliments. I'd prefer to take pictures of my pearls than wear them LOL. It snowed here and I used this opportunity to take pictures of my pearls. Nothing is a better light box for pearl photography than a garden full of snow. The...

Hi Pearlie Sue, it's a lovely necklace you got. I'm pretty sure they're bead nucleated freshwater pearls, the colors are obviously the typical colors of freshwater pearls from China. The first picture says it all. You can find the corrugated clasp in many pearl necklaces sold on eBay and Etsy...

Jeg, your bubbles are fabulous, such a feast for the eyes. I also love your ikat blouse, it's so elegant :o.

In the mood of wearing my Fiji pearls the day before yesterday. They're from Cees Actually I prefer to photograph my pearls than to wear them :D

Great to hear that you're doing ok, jeg. You look impressive with your Ts. And their colors make my heart beat faster! I've banned myself for buying more pearls but after I saw your Rikis, I might start bugging Cees again to help me find more pearls :( Rianne, you got a great set pendant and...

Thanks Charlotta, eolian pearls, for your compliments. You got a lovely clasp, Pearlie Sue :)

Lustrous pearls you have, Charlotta! Droolworthy.

Vietnamese akoyas are as pretty as the Japanese ones. There's a thread here on the forum which discusses the thickness of Vietnamese akoya's nacre. If you want a necklace, tell Cees you want a necklace so he can get you a strand of akoyas, you pay a wholesale price which is a lot cheaper than if...

Hi Jeg, how are you? I've been hiding in my cave for too long LOL. I've been a lurker without logging in. Wonderful layering you have, Jeg. Here's what I wore a few days ago. SoC keshis bracelet from Druzy.

He's had a shop on Etsy since 2013, Douglas. Nothing new.

HI Rianne, I speak Dutch (Flemish actually). If I were you, I'd buy my pearls from Cees Van Oije since you live in the Netherlands anyway. He's reliable and has an eye for God's quality pearls.

Admiring the rainbows on your keshis, eolian pearls. Charlotta, the colors of your Tahitians are so mesmerizing. I'm in love :o

Interesting info, PD. I thought the smallest nucleated FWP was about 8mm. Smaller FWPs are not nucleated, so I thought. Sigh the pearling technology evolves so fast!
