Pearl Dreams, jeg, thank you! That's one of Jac's gemstone quality pearls)) Pareltje, thank you! the trip to Japan was wonderful))) I'm glad I was in good company there though)) BWeaves, thank you! I like how you wear peridots with pistachios! they compliment each other so much)) and I love...

I would say it's rather unlikely - because the clasp edges would be (or at least they should be :) ) very very smooth and rounded. Getting the cage in the right size for the particular strand would also help to minimise the risks. And finally, you could choose higher carat gold to ensure even...

Holly Molly! THAT's a BIG change!! I have one lilac strand that went lighter, sort of pinkish now, but I never properly wore it and assumed that's what affected it.. the others I have, like whites, goldens and deep purples are fine.. only had them for a couple of years though :D :D

Good idea! Or also one can get a springable double hook design bangle and use any rings as interchangeable centrepieces.. I'm rubbish at explaining :D I can post a photo when the piece is casted)) I have tiny wrists as well btw, so yeah, bracelets are difficult :D Oh thank you! It will be an...

Speaking of Paspaley.. Am I really bad dreaming to adapt their Rockpool Starfish Cuff to a more reasonable price span?)) for personal use, but still feels a bit like stealing :D

How did the appointment go baby nurse? I want to make a look-book of your layered-styles photos. It enhances SO much pearl wearing opportunities! I absolutely love that rope with the tin-cup, and that sweater.. a very attractive look! *whispering to everybody in a theatrical whisper, for bn...

Definitely looks like a fish! but like a dead skinned fish to me.. I would find great difficulty in setting it because of that :( fabulous find though, of course! from a pearl-addicted non-consumer point of view :) :)

eclecticgrl, I'm so glad you like your necklace! you seem to rock it with any outfit! :D and you were great to work with)) I was wearing today my pink tahitian pearl ring in rose gold. Nothing much, but at least I didn't forget to take a photo :D :D

I quite like the playfulness of that necklace, but I'm not so sure about those tassels.. they are of a very interesting design - do you remember what were they made of? gold beads or thread?.. And I agree with pattye - I think the pearls are becoming more and more of a truly modern accessory...

That's it. I want Ruckus in Cees' vault. Anyone with me?)) kalmen22, those tahitians are exceptional color. Absolutely exceptional. My congratulations and some serious envy vibes to you :D :D

Well, if you want a second opinion - considering the price points you mentioned, I would get ten-nyo strand without earrings just out of vanity to have the best best of the best best (I think that's the most acceptable "colloquial" name for ten-nyo grade :D jk) First, because I think it's...

Sanippy, congratulations on the new obsession! :) I recently became a fan of SSP keshis - brought four pearls from Japan, but haven't decided what to do with them yet.. what are your plans for the tahitians?))

Sorry, I missed all the pearls with the photos of your Buckbeak)) so adorable! Now I remember I promised photos of my aviary)) where is my camera, I go photo-hunting :) :)

GemGeek, I love your pendant, good job Hisano fixed it. So geometric and style! You are right, SS keshis are on the rise of price now, I wanted to get a strand of GSS keshis this time in Japan for myself, but simply couldn't afford it in the end of the trip :D :D annie, is your ring a knuckle...

So interesting to read all your stories ladies! I will chime in)) When I get some new bug, my first purchase is something with "wow" effect for most people without that bug and dead solid classic for those who are with that bug already. So my first conscious purchase of pearls was a strand of...

I don't know anything helpful for that particular project, but I adore the pattern and now want to make one for myself with it :D thank you for sharing and glad your surgery went well!!

Terrible. Just terrible. I suppose saying it's "vintage" is also a con from the seller then - to imitate that the pearls are from the era when freshwaters were tissue-nucleated only.. Terrible and sad. Thanks for the input Jeremy! Do you think such cases should be reported to etsy or it's...

These are all the questions for the seller I'm afraid... and as always, just remember the main rule in pearl buying - don't buy from vendors you don't trust ;)

That would be good if there are none of ten-nyo matama.. would save me a few quid :D :D joke. I've asked PSL about matama, if they reply - I will post here) PS do you learn Chinese? That's sooooo exciting! :D Hahahah, yeah, we are determined to find out whether there are further yet-unknown...

I wouldn't rule them out as freshwater just because of the shape - this button circled shape does come in south sea pearls.. but the overall condition of those pearls, plus the fact that they are "vintage" (how old I wonder?), and the blemishes, and no clasp.. whatever they are, they don't look...
