    Acceptable level of inclusions in gem grade pearls

    Solsort, the size you chose is a classic that you will enjoy for many years. PSS means you'll feel the need to add some size variety, and of course, you'll need some other colors... This is how you become a collector! Even if you decide later that you like larger pearls, you'll need the...

    South seas tin cup!

    Whoa, that's awesome! Gorgeous and versatile. My eyesight is going, though. I first looked, and for a split second, thought, wow, what a tan! LOL. That neck form is a work of art. If I had one like that, I would leave it out where I could see it and rotate my pearls.

    Acceptable level of inclusions in gem grade pearls

    Pearls are organic, so there won't be a strand with every pearl 100% perfect, including gem grade. Even Hanadama pearls have small flaws, just fewer and less noticeable. However, I am with you on being disappointed. I have often been a little upset that I didn't get perfection, only to realize...

    What kind of black pearls do I have?

    Dyed freshwater cultured pearls, but they are nicely done. Great for Fall and Winter wear. :)

    Stuff I Made

    Overall, I'd say you have had great luck with your orders of Wen pearls. I love the colors. Sorry to hear about your Rio Grande pearls.:)

    Mikomoto vs Pearl Paradise comparison-- HELP!

    I like the bigger pearls on you. Pearl shrinkage syndrome is a real thing! The percentage of akoya pearls with sharp luster goes down as pearls get larger. That makes the PP strand a real bargain in comparison to the Miki. The cost for the A1 strand in the larger size would be huge. I'd like to...

    Trying to calculate age of Mikimoto silver pearl bead necklace 35 inches

    I agree that they don't look like Mikimoto pearls. Can you post a closeup on a white paper towel or a white piece of paper? Coiling the strand will let us see more pearls up close in one shot. Thank you! :)

    My small pearl rainbow

    You would think that it would be intuitive that the pearl should be vertical. :)

    Need help

    Even though it's close, there aren't enough details visible at this size to tell what type of pearl, or to verify if they are pearls because the camera is focused on the background. If you are using a cell phone, try tapping one of the pearls to focus on it and take the photo on white paper or a...

    Yes. That is the look of a feline performance artist that specializes in artistic deconstruction. :)

    That necklace just pops and looks terrific on you. I just happened on the email today and fell in love with that creme rose pendant, as well. I'm in good company. :)
