Yes. Preferably keep them in their own box.

It’s lovely, particularly the wire wrapped stone. I love wire wrapped work.

An absolute must. When I went grocery shopping I didn’t have any pearls. I wore three strand bead necklaces I designed and made myself. These did include pearls, but they were only Swarovski ones I knottted myself. Other imitation pearls didn’t lend themselves to knotting. I don’t go shopping...

Aren’t they gorgeous? I love them.

Thank you. I see you are enjoying yours. I love pearls because you can wear them with everything—even jeans.

Gorgeous!

Yes, I love them. Obviously others do too, so I’m pleased to know I haven’t got weird taste in pearls. ;-)

Thanks. I think I got good value. I’m impatient to get them but the postal service must be drowning in parcels so they take a while these days,

They are gorgeous and mine must be Akoyas too. I am about to get these as well. They’re on their way to,me. It was a one dollar auction because the seller didn’t know what they are. I had at least one other bidder wanting them. I hope you can open the link. If not I’ll grab a copy of the photo...

They sound lovely. I have some lovely baroque freshwater pearls with every bit the lustre of the best Akoya pearls. They are shaped Ike onions.

They’re lovely.

But they have such good lustre. I go for lustre before roundness, though I’d rather baroque pearls weren’t too misshapen.

I’ve seen some pearl sellers on eBay who are supposedly in Japan and are selling ostensibly high grade Akoya pearls for rather low prices. They could be pearl farmers themselves but I’m still suspicious. I’ve bought from a New Zealand seller who is a bit like Jeremy at Pearl Paradise but I can...

Can we see them now please? They certainly are shinier in your second pics. But four years have passed so I’m sure we’d all like to see how they look now. And thanks for your tip. I’ll get myself something to keep some of the distilled water my husband bought in bulk to make colloidal silver and...
