Red, an AMAZING ring! Love your jeweller's style))

Pareltje, looks very lovely!! I finally climbed out from the bench today and it's double akoya look :) under the rubbish lighting.. we have a way too much sun for pearl neck shots :cool:

Pearl Dreams, I hope your husband recovers soon.. have they said anything about the recovery of sensibility on that finger yet?.. Wish him well!! lovely pearls of course)) nice and chunky) Jeg, that's very interesting, how did the original earrings look please? I'm very partial to conferable...

Send it to PP to be restrung? I suspect your jeweller, when saying "will be sent to CA", means the same :D :D

I cannot stand any bracelet clasp.. I think they are evil :D I don't have any pearl bracelet for this particular reason :( I do like bangles though..

I like the longer length, Jeg! I try to stay away from this thread just because otherwise I KNOW what will happen.. but i simply can't :D

Hello, by the photos the luster looks like south sea.. besides, in Philippines it's easier to buy a south sea pearl than any other type of pearls)) if the pearl is real (not imitation) - I wouldn't doubt it's a south sea pearl)

Agreed) and to be honest, tahitians' .8mm doesn't look very convincing on a ruler either.. but I suppose it is enough for a durable wear, since that's how pearls are produced nowadays.. The problem is that while tahitian pearls quality is controlled (or was controlled at least), the rubbish...

Most reputable sellers will not even keep such pearls in stock. Most reputable pearl farmers will not harvest when it's really too early. But it doesn't mean people cannot still buy some doubtful quality akoyas and then slag the reputation of all akoya pearls in general :) *sorry - I'm a big...

What quality were the akoyas to start with? There are many low-quality strands that have these signs right from the beginning =/ and if they are baroques - it can get even worse, especially by the holes. I don't think there is anything new one needs to do specifically for akoyas - just takes...

The eggs!!!! :-o PS I think we should start an ornithological thread somewhere, bn :D with questions like: why are the eggs green? is it their natural color? :D :D PPS seriously, are they naturally green those eggs? :confused:

CathyKeshi, baby nurse, my birdies are right in the middle of the moult now, they asked to wait for a photo session before early next month)) but I will definitely post photos) BN, so nice to hear Hilda is recovering quickly! that book cover does look like your Hilda going on a little trip! :D...

I think you misunderstood me)) my only point was that you still cannot go away from the prices of precious metals, wherever you order your goods and however cheaply your jeweller charges. I.e. your choice of 18K gold seemed a bit controversial to your other point of having it made economically...

Oh I think moderators will have a word with you now)) but in the mean time, I do like what you (your jeweller or you? I didn't quite get it) made with these pearls)) can you show in the closeup the facets on the bands? Are they laser cut on the piece or casted? Looks pre-casted by the way it's...

I hope Hilda is doing better! Don't worry about the boot - I have lady gouldian finches, and one of them once developed a blood clot blockage in the toe (o.0). Had to surgically remove the affected toe, and the first thing the little bugger (is this word allowed?) did after waking up from...

Oh how much I LOVE these videos!! That's the BEST thing ever guys)))))) PS Hisano's face when Jeremy took away tahitian souffles just broke my heart :D :D

Please please please can someone tell me what time the translation will start, in Hong Kong hours please)) I'm getting very confused :D don't want to miss!!

I love the texture on the outer shell - looks sooooo real!! congratulations on your lovely piece!!

I'm usually a silent drooler of this strand, but combining these makes me speak! :) love all the variants, but this made me jump: Well done! Very creative mixing :D:D

kalmen22, in general gold prices have come down a bit this year, but again on the rise now. Have you checked the selection of RioGrande? They have gold chains by foot in different price ranges. I wouldn't use gold-plated anywhere unless it's truly necessary (like you need a very wide chain and...
