Thank you SurfnSci. I haven’t even read the descriptions yet. I’ve been busy just adding to my wishlist and was going to look at them in detail later on. Ty for letting me know the price is high for what it is. I will def check out that Etsy seller

I can see that. I thank you for being so patient with all my questions

Oh ok. So what ur telling me is that I need a short and long version? 😂😂JOKING. I will have to scroll thru more pics on here to get an idea. Read so much, staredat so many pics it’s all jumbled in my head

All the above lol. @Pearl Dreams you mentioned that the strand I posted from fb marketplace (7-9mm) was on the smaller size. What size do you gravitate towards? 10mm?

I really can’t figure out a really fair price for good T’s.

What are y’all’s favorite size for T’s? I was browsing eBay and saw a seller by the name of continental pearls based in California. This one caught my eye. Thoughts? https://ebay.us/m/cpDawz

I ordered 3 types of flameball/fireball earrings from wenpearls off etsy. Hope they're nice, 3 different style and 2 will be gifts.

Thank your for the insight. Your pearls are beautiful and I hope to own a strand with multi colors. Off the google and Etsy! Will be looking up these sellers.

i love that ring!

pictures! The discoloration may just be dirt and grime. I restrung my mother in law's miki and they came out great. It's really not hard to do but if you don't think you can do it, I believe @pattye has a restringing service. Hopefully she can chime in.

I bought 2 fireball FW off of etsy from uodora. One strand was $70 cheaper on etsy than their actual website. The first pic is more “flat”. When they arrive I may need help deciding which to keep. I want to do a mix metal necklace. Half pearl and half chain

Some buy pearls at a time? Is that more expensive in the long run? Maybe I’ll start off with a bracelet

@Pearl Dreams on FB marketplace. Seen this vendor’s name mentioned here. Been on the website, so pricey. Browsed marketplace and this popped up. Just thought I’d share lol. Not looking to buy this. Out of my price range

yes, yes. I‘ve come to learn that branding means nothing! Why pay more??

Also wanted to add, mikis were know as the best of the best. Idk if that holds true anymore.

Youngwriter, are those mikis yours? What is the size of the pearl with the current clasp and have they lost its luster? That’s a good size from the pics u posted. Is the clasp sterling (super vintage) or WG? I bought my MIL the graduated strand 7-9mm in 2008 as a wedding gift with a 10%...

Did you end up getting the pearls? I believe Judith Ripka had 3 lines. As stated before the top tier with gold and platinum. Mid tier silver with gold, diamonds were also used in this tier (think David Yurman). Bottom tier silver and cz (shopping networks). Those pearls may have been mid...

Do we have a steals and deals thread? A place to post great deals since the pearl newbies here don’t know the pearl market to well?

When u do, plse share photos

I think 7-9mm is a good size as that’s what my mikis are. My MIL has one too and every time she wears them I ask her if she got a new necklace bc the pearls look bigger. But she always says the same thing, “it’s the one you bought me, silly”. Now I know T’s come in larger sizes and it’s better...
