    These are the colors the eye sees, which are hard to capture in a photo while being worn. The top photo caught them; the secret must be softer/more dim light, and how my phone camera processes it. Thank you, My sincere appreciation, PD! Since my earlobes have gotten thinner, bigger pearls...

    Is this white south sea necklace a good buy?

    I count 38 pearls, of which 22 to 24, more or less, have nice luster. The color is lovely, the blemishes agree with WSS. I‘ve never thought I could afford them, so I don’t keep up on the prices, though should.

    WARNING! - Edi Vichien (?) from Agustus Collection - money embezzlement!

    So, we all know hacking is a true thing, and so are computer-ransoms, BUT! He should make it right. This is a very bad business, and thank you for the warning. Isn’t insurance carried for this sort of thing, by merchants? In fact, I got an eBay message along the lines of “Your Favorite...

    bead nucleated freshwater : anyone with experience in nacre depth or cracking problem

    Hi Charlotta! Yes, well, these were the get-rid-of-the-dye experiments. I was obsessed with all things pearl, in a more impulsive than scientifically controlled way. I had only pennies and ‘late nights on eBay’, but lots of fun Step 1) Get more thread and needles 1a) Clear a space Step 2)...

    My first pearl necklaces! Or, Addiction: Launched

    Beaders Secret! but, opinion from others online here, as well as the proud new owner who has them on her pretty neck, the SS look pretty tight as far as knots go, to me. Do they need restringing? Just, if she’s going to cut a necklace apart right away, maybe the akoya.... I’m sorry for being...

    bead nucleated freshwater : anyone with experience in nacre depth or cracking problem

    These are all little, and the way they’re drilled, there’s a beautiful side, then you flip it and there’s the secret world. Much prettier irl. I feel a rope coming on. I definitely didn’t ‘see’ these pearls 10yrs ago. There should be plain white pearls, or Rice Krispie pearls between...

    bead nucleated freshwater : anyone with experience in nacre depth or cracking problem

    Not only these, but! On my first eBay forays I got some pearls from China, and I thought “What the???? What the heck am I supposed to do with these???” I think I’m seeing, now. I’m grateful I have these treasures, and I hope the drillers and sorters are still employed, and are appreciated...

    bead nucleated freshwater : anyone with experience in nacre depth or cracking problem

    I was enamoured with the ones that yielded a frosty look. I think they’re called ripples now, but for me the frosties are a tad different. who could not love this pearl? I tried to make this side by side, but didn’t manage it.
