I am still of the opinion that their value is in the fun of wearing. Except for the possible Mikimoto that looks like Akoya, the others all seem to be cheap Freshwater pearls. The possible Akoya necklace looks so worn that it also has no value. In general, pearls do not resell well. It is a...

Wow, just wow! Thank you for asking the questions!

Wow! I wish I would come across a tikka like that...

I agree that most are certainly freshwater pearls, both the rice crispie shape and the larger circled ones. Their value is in the fun design. I am not sure what the necklace with all round pearls is. First impression is very loved Akoya with the nacre worn away.

What I don't understand is why it's strange to prefer to go to pearl meet rather than stay with in-laws??? :-)

SSP do not cost $89 -ever. Not SSP. If it's too good to be true, it isn't true :-)

I got a 'fake' feeling about the second necklace. It's out of focus and hard to see so may just be me...

Thank you all for the kind words! I was surprised of how many loose pearls I had when I gathered earrings and pendant I don't use and a charms bracelet that serves the purpose of keeping my random SSP together. And the charms bracelet is still fully functional. I'll take a close-up tomorrow.

That sounds really really miserable. At least you are on the mend but I bet you need the cast on for weeks, right?

I believe the last pearl is to illustrate what a Tahitian looks like after her husband wears it down.

Charlotta My returning thought when seeing your creations and reading things like "my leftover pile" is that I don't have nearly enough Tahitians! :)

You can also reach Cees through his Instagram account. It turned out to be a little expensive to follow him because the pearls look sooo good, are already in the EU, and you can buy with a few messages and a snap of your fingers. I should have known better than to ask him if he happened to have...
