I agree with echo. Collecting pearls for a strand sounds fun and romantic, but it would take years and years. Professional jewelers can spend years collecting the right pearls for a special strand, and they have access to the harvests. Maybe if I could sit and sort pearls at the farm, I'd select...

I'm a little surprised that no one noticed Joc Pederson of the Atlanta Braves -- wearing pearls -- for the World Series. His strand is on the way to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. This is an article about the pearls -- the jeweler calls them inexpensive at $4K, but they are 14mm...

Beautiful pearls, both strands.

Interesting to see this topic, when I was coming here to link an article I just read. :05: I hope it's still okay to post links -- Australian pearl breeding success offers hope for industry hit hard by coronavirus crisis - ABC News I also read the other articles below that one. They all...

I wear pearl bracelets. I have all sorts, freshwater, Akoya, Tahitian. I had a leather/Tahitian bracelet but the leather did not hold up over time. My only issue is the clasps, some are easier than others. My Tahitian bracelets have the same clasp as my strand, so I can add them for a longer...

I love your rope! It reminds me of the harvest strands that pop up every once in a while. May I ask the length? It's beautiful, I hope you get a lot of wear from it.

I received the link to the February edition but it says I am blocked. I remember reading the December issue but now I'm blocked from that, too. Did something change? I'm using the same web browser as before.

Have you considered mother of pearl? Mother of pearl hair combs are fairly easy to find, and also genuine material. I also found some bobby pins made with genuine pearls.

Me, too. I have a floating Akoya necklace like the bar necklace in the second photo, as well. The rainbow Tahitian is beautiful, and I like the necklace. I've never purchased from Ehret but often look through their listings.

I have one, with gray pearls of varying shapes and sizes. Back to the Tin Cup, it's difficult to find one with lots of pearls. Most modern tin cup necklaces seem to be five or seven pearls.

That's it! I recognize that flower pendant with the GSS. I knew this forum would know! Thank you!

I occasionally watch Mark Brown on JTV with his Precious World of Pearls shows (please don't judge me ;)). Mark frequently refers to a pearl designer named Shera (sp?) who he says has been named Pearl Designer of the Year two years in a row. Does anyone know who this person might be? I haven't...

This is what I've been hearing, too. I'm glad I found this thread, as I've been wondering about price points and quality during the pandemic.

I have a white South Sea from PP, approximately this same size. I swear it glows in the dark. :cool: I think you'll be very happy with it!

This is how I understand the terms, too. I feel that the base color/undertone of the pearl never changes, but the other factors can change with the quality of the light. For example, Tahitian pearls seem to look best on rainy days, the diffused light is flattering to them.

I enjoyed the article, thank you! I'm wondering -- are black pearls really harder than white pearls? I hadn't heard that before. I've always seen pearls worn to the inauguration -- I remember pearls featured prominently for the Clintons -- it's a daytime event, and I'm sure the diamonds come...

I only skimmed this topic, but did anyone mention matching earrings? A simple drop would still be appropriate for business settings. If you order them all at the same time, PP can match to the necklace.

I remember reading a long time ago, powerful women wear pearls because it's the jewelry that does not detract from what they're saying. An observer mentally notes 'pearls,' but doesn't focus on them. Nancy Pelosi is a good example, she always seems to wear pearls or beads.

Marc Jacobs is also wearing white pearls. According to Google, these male celebrities are wearing Mikimoto. Mikimoto has a new ad campaign / collection, "comme de garcons."

I really enjoyed the video presentation -- interesting and educational! Thank you, Jeremy!
