I think I found a card of silk long enough but it didn’t have a needle attached to it… I suppose I just order the needles seperately? Thanks again

I believe it does I think I’m still trying to pinpoint where I am messing up. Thank you again for your time it is much appreciated. I asked a couple more questions above this reply. I have one more, I have a rope length strand that I am wanting to restring however the cord cards that I purchase...

Wow thank you very much for the time you took to explain this. I do use silk so I won’t be able to use the tool, however you said “At the start of stringing, after I have back-knotted, I want to cut the original knotted thread tail off before stringing the rest of the pearls.” Can you please...

A photo would be cool if you have time. I use common thread cutting scissors, will look into this

I kind of took a break from stringing pearls and am suddenly having issues with the tied knot part of strand, at the beginning and ending of the necklace, where it needs to be cut. I need to know your secrets please :) Multiple times I’ve accidentally cut the knot, and other times I just can’t...

No peeling. It’s glue and need to be restrung They have a golden color…

In love with the diamonds 😍 def a pre lab diamond piece, would have been very pricey!!! Also the cut of the diamond, it’s an Old European Cut, which is the cut used in 1890’s-1930’s.

8-9mm they have like a yellowish hue to them, I could maybe guess what they are just wondering if you PROs can tell me for sure…

Some odd shapes. This looks also Akoya?

I’m not entirely sure if they are baroque akoyas or something else.

Ughhhh lol thank you I say ughhhh because your right and that’s not what I was hoping. Good to learn though (:

I feel like I remember being able to identify Keshi pearls with some flatness but also do recall hearing something about South Sea keshi pearls not having the flatness at all. Does flatness automatically make it non saltwater when dealing with Keshi pearls??? ID opinions?

Look real to me

Random thought that would totally otherwise be shunned but for experimental purposes I would use an ultrasonic cleaner with some gem aproved cleaning solution. Again obviously only because we’re experimenting and everyone knows don’t put the pearls in the ultrasonic machine ;-)

I would assume in the back since the strands are graduated but people get creative… lol

I see…. This clasp is extra beautiful with a double strand set of Akoya pearls. Thank you :)

I stand corrected…by google Yes, a pearl can have chatoyancy, though it is an extraordinarily rare optical phenomenon in this gem. [1] While traditional pearls are famous for their nacre (which creates the soft, glowing luster known as orient), some rare or non-nacreous pearls can display a...

So I’m just curious, how much of a difference does the clasp make to consumers?

Okay I saw a similar post after reading some last night on here and someone said to leave it out in the sun. Any one done this?

That’s a different “phenomena”, irridecence.
