Time to restring the first pearl necklace I ever bought. Japanese akoya pearls bought in 1982, so they're probably 45 years old. This is not their first restringing, but I can see the thread has stretched between the old knots. Most of the pearls still have amazing luster, although watching the...

Two real Kasumi pendants from the only pearl farm on Lake Kasumi-Ga in Japan. I wear them on earring hoops. One large freshwater pearl from China. These pearls are erotochromatic. All from Kojima Pearl. These pearls change color as you move them around, so you've got to see them in motion.

I have a strand of Blue Lagoon, which is Miki's lower grade brand, and they are very, very good quality. Miki's at any of their levels are very good quality, but the prices are way too high because you're paying for the brand name. I can get better value at Pearl Paradise or Pearls of Joy...

Gorgeous choices from the Takashi stall at the Japan pearl fair! And I'm a sucker for a good pearl ombre'!

SurfnSci: I'm in such a multicolored Tahitian mood right now. I'm loving all the multicolored pearl necklaces. Yours is gorgeous, too. Pomelo: I love those Chinese imperial court necklaces. I love the counter weight in the back to keep the weight off the back of your neck. I love the...

Linda, what mm size are they?

Eolian Pearls, wow, I'd wear those every day. They're gorgeous.

The price is good. Maybe a bit too good. Let us know what you think of them in person. We'd all love it if they turned out to be great!

I looked at all their photos, and the colors are too colorful. Like the photos were enhanced. It makes it hard for me to tell what the pearls really look like. The pearls might be OK in real life. I don't know. But I doubt they're that color. It looks a bit unnatural.

The colors are almost too intense, but they look like the right kind of colors for very intense blues baroque akoyas. Can you share more photos or the link?

Pastel Tahitian pearls. Yes, even the white ones. Necklace from Pearl Paradise. Mismatched baroque earrings from Kamoka Pearl. I've been in a Tahitian mood lately.

You'll have to look at one of Rene's books. She has it in several of her pearl books, and she shows many different ways to style it, so there are pages of photos. I had no idea it was a Miki clasp.

That rope is so versatile. I've seen that clasp in Rene Newman's books, but not in real life.

Those glow!

So sorry for your loss, Douglas.

It's not easy being green. Now these circled Kamoka Tahitians are a good match to my nail polish. Testing to see if this video link works. Let me know if it doesn't.

Happy Thanksgiving! Taking Dad to my brother's house for Thanksgiving. All I have to cook is "show up." Planet Berna Tahitian pendant and Bali earrings from Kamoka Pearl. Longer Tahitian bubble ombre' necklace from Kojima Pearl. TNT (Tahitians and tourmalines) circled pearls necklace from...

Thanks GemGeek. I was trying to match my Tahitian pearls, haha.

I don't see anything in the photos, either. I've dropped my pearls on tile floors and they're fine.

Wow! To everything! Trying to match my nail polish to my Tahitian pearls today. This was my very first strand of Tahitian pearls from Kojima Pearl.
