What an amazing pendant! I'm generally indifferent to gssp, but the pendant setting is reeeaaaallly cute))) love its clean lines. The pearls look very nice against your skin tone!

A friend of ours just got back from Japan and I had asked his wife (she is japanese) to source me some colourful akoya pearls and she brought me these :) natural color akoya pearls in 8-8.5mm size and some baby akoya strands also in natural pastel colors)) the luster is veeeery bright, the...

The result pearls look like regular pink akoyas to me, no striking novelty (at least by the photo).. I also prefer the bead on the right, without any nacre fuss :)

A truly wonderful strand, congratulations!!

Thanks you all ladies! I've just weighted the strand - and it's almost 200 grams in total weight with the clasp :eek: I'm afraid I will have to rearrange it or split into 2 strands because I feel it would be difficult to find a home for this strand because of its heaviness :( oh well, still it...

I suppose as soon as the original product shipped was modified by the client (i.e. diamond taken out of its original setting), it's by default non-returnable and Ebay would support you on that for sure.. Even if the client then sets it back in its original setting but you can see the prongs were...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading that presentation with all the shopping photos, thank you!)) I'm don't know about chinese government sponsoring the shipping costs, but I assume "free shipping" claim could be based on pure hope that people would normally order for more than 30 quid. For example, at...

What a lovely "scratch"! I'm a tight knotter as well, I've learnt that it doesn't work on baroque pearls at all, like AT ALL :D Your knotting looks lovely and I like how you paired thread color with the pearls! Are those peacock circled from Jac? They look amazing)

Some time ago I've posted this white metallic pearl strand. Well, that "surprise" lot from Hong Kong had an extra bonus - there were actually enough pearls for two strands. So after I've matched a proper 18-inch white strand in terms of roundness and luster, I still had enough decent pearls to...

hahahahah, I'm a profesional HIBS then as well))))))

BWeaves, I really like your Swan necklace! Very organic! I was wearing today my "solitaire" pearl necklace with three pink tahitian pearls from Jac and an amethyst ring. Sorry but I feel obliged to show the whole outfit because I think it compliments the pearls choice)) bear with me please)

How about sending them to PP? Priorly speaking to them whether the would want to make themselves referees in the situation and issue the certificate if needed.. I'm afraid local jeweller (even high end one) wouldn't possess 100% knowledge on pearls..

MKG, what a remarkable strand! May I ask what grade are they? I've seen similar strand only once and it was a madama grade, but not Mikimoto.. is it their top range? I would definitely look for more occasion to splash them))

Are they from a Chinese seller or someone reselling chinese sourced pearls? There are enough polished/ lacquered pearls there, and the chip you've got looks to me as the top coating lacquer cracked. The dirt might have got there after it being chipped or it could have been cracked before and you...

BritM, I take a few first photos with the front camera to see what fits into the photo, and then turn it to the back camera (because I'm using a really old smashed iPhone for it - the front camera has fuzzy photos) so I turn to the back camera and take a few photos "blindly" trying to keep same...

Thank you ladies! Oh I always wish "I would love to see the whole outfit!!" when seeing someone's beautiful pearls, so I kind of tried to sneak mine in the photo)) Camelotshadow, I hope you feel better today! I would definitely call them near-rounds, but pearlparadise strictly called them...

Love those pastel drops)) the pastel tahitians look really complimenting to your skin)) and the rikitea strand is one of the best of course)) sorry I forgot what size where rikitea bribe strands, 8 to 11?..

Cicadalady, I love your jacket!! I was wearing my baroque akoyas today. Never thought this strand would be of so much wear when buying it))

lovely pearls)) for pendants? I've seen a strand of BIG baroque south sea pearls once - very impressive it was))

Camelotshadow, you are very welcome) basically tahitian pearls exist in any colour but actual red (at least I haven't seen it), of course some colours are more difficult to find (especially as a pair) than others, but from the nature's point of view there is almost no limit to fantasy)) From...
