Thank you for your kind reply Patricia) what a lovely collection you have! My concern is that the imperfections are right on the edge that was supposed to make this pearl "different". I can see how to close the bigger (4mm) one, ok. But if covering the other two - than there will be very little...

Just received the blue baroque south sea pearl. To be honest - disappointment. The pearl has very clear chips of nacre right on the top of the "interesting" face, one very big one (4mm long), and two other small ones right on the "folding" edges of the pearl. I haven't seen these in the website...

Well, in Europe the only reliable one I know (i.e. used) is cooksongold, but they have such limited selection of pearl findings that I gave up and kept ordering from the States :D if I remember it right, selectedfindings have flat-rate 6 USD shipping if you do not plan to order much (because...

I also didn't know akoyas come in such a variety of natural colours)) me wants now :roll eyes: thank you for sharing)

Got a message today that my pearl has been shipped. Hurray! :D

I absolutely love these pistachio akoyas. Unusual perfection :)

LVLanghanke, oooooh I've been tempted by this pearl since I first saw it. It's just that it might be a great difficulty in finding matching stones for it, as sapphires will be too dark and aquamarines will be too light. But I have a plan)) and it takes to see the pearl in person anyway) It's a...

Katbran, JerseyPearl, newberry, Mermaid, Marianne, Pareltje, kalmen22, baby nurse, thank you ladies! haha I thought "thug" was a bit personal, but decided it was some friendly slang or something)) no worries, typos happen) I'm ashamed to confess, but I squealed like a guinea pig)) I do like...

moneymeister, that's true about sisterhood.. but I still hate nice pearls passing by me :D Pearl Dreams, I agreed without a blink! was pretty nervous afterwards though, before seeing first photos) BWeaves, trulyviolet, LVLanghanke, Karman, GemGeek, hanadama, MSC, CathyKeshi, Sea Urchin, thank...

MSC, LVLanghanke, thank you! I still cannot decide which one I will keep to myself)) moneymeister, thank you! Hope your daughter will have great time here!! would love to meet her and show around)) CathyKeshi, oh I definitely will, thank you)) will see how it goes with the stall in 2 weeks...

Thank you)) Oh that was quite a story of how I got them. My friend was on a business trip there, and one afternoon happened to go out for leisure wandering with her colleague. And that colleague happened to be into pearls and dragged her in some showroom or something, and found this lot there...

A friend of mine just got back from Hong Kong and brought me a small bunch of theeeese :) I just finished matching my strand, still unknotted, but couldn't help from sharing :) I'm very pleased (and slightly surprised :D) with the luster - in this photo they are next to these 9.5-10mm baroque...

Tadaaaaam - the treads from Patricia were finally released from the customs! :) Hardly I will have time to string next week, but couldn't help from pre-matching the strands with the threads))

LVLanghanke, your story sounds very disturbing to me. Jac has all sorts of pearls, but (at least with my orders) I could only thank him for always being consistent and honest with grading. Did you message him upon receiving the order? I mean actually having to discard his 3A graded pearls for...

Ok, that convinced me :D a rose bud flower challenge accepted!

Lovely pearls. What will you do with the south sea one?) I'm very tempted by one of the pearlescence specimen pearls. Let's see.. ;)

MSC, well, I did score some great items with Wen, but it's more like a lottery with her - sometimes you expect a great item by the photos and it's just average in its best in real life. I also wanted to gift her a proper ruler, because quite often 15mm pearls turned out to be 13.7mm, for example...

Lady_Disdain, all sort of things, unfortunately. Started with a few items missing from the parcel when I ordered a lot for my market stall. Like I've ordered 100 pearls, and they've put 95 etc. Or I've ordered a bag of 19 pearls, and she put only one pearl in. Irritating, but ok. I'm a nerd - I...

I'm afraid the nacre would crack if digging the cavity for a diamond near that spot.. but i'm always over panicking with drilling))

Since you don't want a full strand - for your budget you could also buy a pair of nice near-rounds tahitians from Jac (thepearlhouse on etsy) and turn them into studs or dangles. Silver findings are cheap and can be bought at bella findings, for example, that would guarantee them to be 100% real...
