Interesting.. This design always gets me quirky. The gold on the inside of the cage/net design must be super high polished to minimize potential scratches on the pearl.

I will be exhibiting at JA.

Also for reference, the plastic sleeve cover does not extend that far into the middle. See a real PSL cert w/ cover here.. I marked off the plastic w/ red lines. Here's also a video discussing fake certs in Mandarin

Easier today if anything.. Just throw the picture into Chatgpt. Then upload the second picture provided which shows better clarity.. And GPT can evaluate correctly.

Another one of these.. China is mass producing these certs to match with Chinese FWP (or what they call Chinese AK). These are mostly being passed around through livestreams which is killing their own market. Now that no one is buying them locally, they started coming for western consumers...

Thanks for sharing ;);)

New update to baby FWP. Now available in purple and metallic overtones. 3.5-4mm and 4-4.5mm

Looks like a rock to me. :oops:

We personally have not seen the issue.

Rows and rows of natural color pearls.. The Chinese freshwater pearl industry has made significant advancements in recent years. With strategic marketing, we believe these unique colors will become instantly recognizable as freshwater pearls, similar to how Tahitian pearls are renowned for...

Best to consider this as a characteristic that is shown in Edisons. Also easier for consumers to distinguish FWP Edison and a SSP (since fwp sizes are now in 14-16, 16-18, and 18-20mm ranges).

Those are what we called birthmarks. It's not above the surface, but underneath the surface. Not something you can buff out or fix. We categorize these is commercial grade pearls.

I know who this belongs to.. HAHA

Since when was a Etsy retailer considered wholesalers?

Those screenshot photos in the original post don't seem to be legit natural purples. Seems to be treated Edisons. Or, it could be heavily edited video with filters over them. As for fading, natural colors fade but depends on harvest. Many of the mussels used are too young, and the younger the...

Why are the drilled holes bigger than the knots? Odd..

Classic FWP finishing that you see being sold in the wholesale trade. They didn't even bother to restring... No knots.

If you ever go to JCK/Tucson, you can visit us. I have those baby fwp you can see. All size from 2mm to 6mm.

Commercial quality in purple may saturate the market. But high quality purple with metallic overtones are very rare in each harvest. I personally believe this market is just getting started. As of right now, these colors below are all natural colors. Getting entire strands in uniform color is...
