I'm getting ready to spend my stimulus check... (Hubby doesn't know that I plan on spending the entire check, duh! I guess I'll face the music later) I am eyeing the Natural Multi-color Akoyas from TPO, 7.5mm-8mm or 8-8.5mm. Here are the links: 7.5-8mm =...

Photo re-take. I think this shows the beauty of the pearls a little better. Oh, and some additional info, the greens are 8-9mm and the chocolates are 8.5-9.5mm. I also got matching earrings for each strand too.

Hi Jerin, I got the green FW from PP also. Same purchase. Looking at the photos now, i really don't think the photos do the pearls justice. I'm going to try to take them on the windowsill today. :-)

Well, it's about time I posted photos for everyone. I guess it's better late than never. I went and visited PP back in march. Had a lot of fun looking at Tahitians with Mia and ended up getting the March special (FW chocolate). I've finally taken some photos. I don't have much digital...

Got my March specials Got my March specials Hi all, I was actually in LA 2 weeks ago and was able to visit PP's showroom. It was sooo much fun and Mia was very helpful. I did end up buying the March specials - FW necklace, and I chose the one that were more red than brown. They had to...

The colors are gorgeous. . . I learned something new - Tahitian pearls in light blue. On a side note - I'm going to LA tomorrow, am hoping to get the opportunity to stop in the PearlParadise show room and check out the March specials and the Freshadamas. Very exciting! Reiah

That is an excellent idea! Why didn't I think of that? :) I'm okay with that as all of my pearls except one were purchased by me. I guess that for some others, it might not work cuz they have pearls with sentimental value and those pearls are irreplaceable. When you insure it, do you put...

Caitlin, What a great suggestion! I will learn how to string my pearls, and eventually, maybe making my own earrings. I'll check if my local beading store has classes and materials. If no classes, I am sure I can learn through books or online websites/videos. I pretty much learned how to...

Jerin, Thanks for reminding me about security. I hadn't thought of that! My current jewelry box locks, so at least the pearls are kind of safe. Well, just the top drawer locks, and it's really getting full. Perhaps I need a new lockable solution. Back to the drawing board... Pearl folders...

I had the same question - and was directed to this thread. ;) I'm running out of space in what my hubby calls: a "rather large" jewelry box. And I want to be able to see my pearls at a glance and choose the one I would wear. I do keep the nice boxes and bags that I receive, but I don't keep...

Another Libra here... Off topic - but how do all the collectors store your pearl strands? Really large jewelry boxes? I'm finding that I need to make room for my strands...

Hi! I'm pretty excited. Been mulling around the house for a few days because I missed the exotics. Should have been more vigilant about checking out PG. Anyways, browsed on TPO's site and found a pretty golden/chocolate strand...

All of your exotics are gorgeous! After seeing all your exotics, I'm SOOOO upset that I didn't check the forum for those few weeks. I TOTALLY MISSED OUT!!! Maybe one day soon - PP will have another exotic special. me = :(

Hi, I was just watching the video on YouTube that pearl paradise put together- the one at Fukui Shell Factory. It shows the process of cutting the shell into strips, then into cubes. Does this become the pearl nucleus of an Akoya pearl? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm only asking to...

PandaExpress- Thanks for the tip on reading other threads -- I am now better educated about those 2 websites and will remain skeptical. I have accumulated most of my pearl earrings from Macy's one day sales. LoL. I've checked pearl oasis and american pearl too. So I'll let everyone knows...

I'm a lurker, been reading all your posts. Thanks so much for all the information! I collect Pearl earrings, my favorites are anything that dangles. I've been browsing the online pearl stores a lot and have found that 90% of decorated earrings come in Akoya and not FWCP. I really like all...

Your pearls are just gorgeous Your pearls are just gorgeous Your pearls are beautiful! I'm convinced, I need to save up and get freshadama's in all colors... :-) Reiah

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and am very happy to find this great source of information on pearls. I've always loved pearls but have thought them to be too expensive until recently finding all the online pearl stores. I'm so excited like a kid in a candy store and have begun making my...
