Beautiful jade beads, wish I knew more about jadeite jade! If you have plenty of length, of course remove the dark beads. As for the beads with uneven holes: 1. Test with your planned thread size (thank you so much for your purchase!) and make sure knots block the holes well. If the hole is...

Thank you, these photos are clearer. My thought is that these are good quality freshwater pearls set in the 14k mountings. The oval drops are common in freshwater pearls. The luster seems more like freshwater than Akoya. In the photo with the pair of earrings, the top right pearl in the side...

Welcome to the forum, lazymendoza. The photo is not very clear; please if possible retake on a white paper towel. We may be able to tell if the pearls are Akoya or Freshwater. It's unlikely we would be able to identify the maker. Is the back of the earring marked 14k or 585, 18k or 750?

How delightful and amazing to see all those gorgeous rare conch pearls! Yes, this double rope was my favorite of the show also! I'm sure it will be treasured!

The pearls appear to be graduated to the point that you probably wouldn't want to wear the clasp at the side, so I'd choose the smaller gold clasp for these. The Sapphire clasp would be lovely on a larger strand where it could be worn at the side of the neck or at the back, imo. Of course, it's...

It's an interesting ring; enjoy wearing it!

Joni, there must be a good story about this ring; what else can you share?

Wow, a lovely strand; looks like the real deal to me. Congratulations! Many pearl lovers have learned to string their own pearls using Pearl Dream's awesome, detailed tutorial!

Thanks very much for confirming, Yens. That percentage of lower quality does make sense.

Yens, have you also seen this kind of blemish on dyed pearls?

For that kind of money you should be able to see photos of the actual necklace you are purchasing. And yes, when you see your strand in real life, it will make your heart sing!

We are always interested in the story if you wish to share it.

Hi There, Pearl Bangladesh, This forum is for education and discussions about pearls, selling is not allowed. You might be interested in setting up an online shop on Shopify or Ebay.

After I enlarged the photo, it easy to see how stretched the thread in between the pearls. I imagine it was an 18 inch strand originally, and restringing as Jeremy suggests will shorten to the original length. Enjoy!

What's great about being adjustable is that the length can suit the neckline and the wearer's preference. I've seen these variations on all genders. Love the motto and the pearl!

Gorgeous, Linda! Love love love how the bead shape repeats in the clasp!

I agree, normal wear. Remember that on a bracelet you are getting significantly more movement as it drapes, flexes and rolls around your wrist. That will result in the wear showing more quickly. The knots still look tight and tidy overall, imo.

We're all just playing in the pearls and loving it, aren't we??!! It's never too late ~ I didn't even learn to knot until I was in my 60's.

Oh, this is interesting! Is the underside of the mounting open so you could show us in a photo? An abalone pearl usually has some flaws and a "seam," this pearl appears to be smooth from the photos. IMO, if not abalone, saltwater keshi, could be Tahitian or Blue SS. Curious what others will...

MOPTrumpet, So sorry to hear about your injury; I hope you are recovering well! Love the pearl and aquamarine combo! (And so many others, too!)
