I believe the DIY tarnish remover recipe calls for washing soda, which is chemically different from baking soda. Washing soda and baking soda are distinct compounds with different chemical properties. Many people use the aluminum foil/warm water/washing soda to quickly clean large quantities of...

Some vehicles come with 20 year coverage, usually dealer specific. I am reminded of some Tahitian pearls worn by surfers that were sent to Jeremy for repair. They'd been worn so much that the nacre was gone, and the bead was showing. If I recall correctly.

My only thought is larger pearls will take up more space so you will need to adjust the length to compensate, but you aren't lookin g at 9mm pearl bracelets ... I digress. Yes, get the best luster.

Mother of pearl can be dyed. I think it's a cool pendant!

I think it looks like a Biwa pearl, which would be freshwater.

I clicked on the Emma Brooke earrings, and the pearls are inside the crystal. They are shaker earrings. Cool. Nice to see Imperial Pearl get a mention, you don't hear much about them lately. The woman in the above photo is wearing A LOT of jewelry. I realize it's an editorial, but nothing...

I like baroque Akoyas. If that's weird, maybe we can start a club. I have a baroque Tahitian that broke, so it happens. It's on a bracelet so I just left it.

Do you have them already? If not, maybe they won't be quite so bluish in person. I think they look like fireballs (without pronounced tails).

Thank you so much for explaining first - second - third harvest. I learned something today!

This is interesting. I recently acquired some of my grandmother's old fashion jewelry -- someone was really interested in buying it, which I thought was odd. No gold, no precious stones. Now I will take another look! When Mae West passed away and her jewelry was auctioned, people were surprised...

Maybe the vendor is located in the South Sea. :confused:

I don't believe coin pearls are natural. They are a type of cultured freshwater pearl -- a flat disk-shaped nucleus is inserted into the mollusk. I suppose an intermediate is up to the pearl cultivator. Round nucleus vs flat disk? You can find all sorts of cultivated shapes, crosses, squares, etc.

I'm already drooling over the next live.

I agree with everyone else, reach out to Pearl Paradise. It doesn't hurt to ask. I had a pearl fall out of a ring, and it's an easy fix if you have the pearl.

Yes! Wear the enhancer on a gold chain, or a leather cord.

I highly recommend a virtual appointment with Pearl Paradise. Look at pearl strands side by side without commitment. If you see something that speaks to you, PP can help with matching items. You can pick up studs, drops, bracelet, etc. for future gifts.

The rope is freshwater pearls, btw.

Well, 585 is 14K gold. That's a cool enhancer! I suggest that the enhancer was a separate purchase and added later.

It looks cute in the shell on the little stand. Just locate it in a safe place where it won't get knocked over.
