I will be at the London Show (A89), Hong Kong (1E38) and Vicenza (6-225) next month (We are closed on Saturdays). I will take a selection of very early harvest Edison's to all 3 shows for any of you to inspect and discuss. As for the pendant above - I will try to take a photo of it today for...

I still have the pendant - how do I now take a photo under the same lighting conditions? The shot above was done by a professional photographer some 7 years ago ..... I know that the pearl is not what it once was .....

This pendant was made with the largest baroque from one of the very first harvests.

Pearl Dreams - in your opinion what "evidence" would you require? What would be definitive proof? My time machine is inoperative right now and without it - it will not be easy. Do I have pearls that are not what they once were? Certainly. But that begs the question - how do I prove what they...

Katbran - Of course it does boil down to the expectation of the customer. What is considered to be a 'snip' to one customer is a fortune for another. I feel that there is a general expectation that one should be able to pass these items on to the next generation. If a pearl changes in a really...

Pearl Dreams - A question for you - how do you show that a pearl or a series of pearls has deteriorated over time? If you have a physical item now - how do you prove in a definite manner that it has changed over time? Sure - you might have photo's of what the items looked like at the time of...

That is a very fine question. I don't believe anyone knows for sure. I think I have much longer experience with these pearls than nearly anyone else in the market. I have pearls from the very first few years of harvest ..... are they an accurate indication?

Ah yes .... I have pearls from the first few years of harvest .... I suppose you could say I have some vintage Edison pearls .... As I said earlier in the thread .... happy to discuss this in person with anyone at any of my shows .....

I hope you enjoy them for many years to come .....the only question is - will they be this lustre and colour in 10 or 20 years time?

True - I don't get to Texas ... but I did exhibit in JCK Las Vegas a few weeks ago .... and for a Londoner that feels quite close!

Would be happy to meet you .... or anyone else from this forum to discuss this further....I am in the "Airport" show stand 1E38 - please note our stand is closed on Saturday in all our shows.

We have decades of experience with South Sea pearls - the same can't be said for Edison pearls.... Caveat Emptor.

The blue is Tahitian, the white is Australian South Sea and the red is freshwater. I suppose I will take all my fancy colour pearls to our shows in September in London, Vicenza (Italy) and Hong Kong.

These natural colour pearls made me think of the USA ....

Try the company Rohm - he is based in Austria .... nice guy too ....

I love pearl humour too! There is no politically correct way to describe the pearl below ....!!

Oh ... but I have the perfect Tee! It is part of a "project" I started a few years ago - I am still looking for the perfect pearl to make the club ..... [ATTACH]52761

Anyone for an expensive game of golf?

The golden and whites are South Sea, the pinks and oranges are freshwater and the greys and blacks are Tahitian.

They are finished strands. One of them is a 36 inch rope ....
