It's interesting how the pearl industry is always changing. I have some souffle pearls and I don't really consider myself to be an astute collector. I'm guessing bead nucleated freshwaters are the future for speed and shape? No more waiting years and years for large, round pearls? Thank you for...

I have washed pearls in Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap Baby Unscented; I think it was recommended here or maybe on Pricescope?

Thank you for posting about this amazing trip! I enjoyed the read. Btw, I have seen that Kamoka porn pearl featured in a few of their video shorts. Nature, go figure.

I'm curious about something ... has anyone ever had some loose pearls and you can't remember where they came from? I had some loose baroque Akoyas -- I know where I bought 13 of them, but there were a lot more than that. I don't recall any broken strands. I've been wondering for weeks. It's a...

Conversely, it may be an easy way to weed out the men you don't want. :giggle:

BWeaves, I'm really loving that Takahashi ring. Beautiful pearls. I wouldn't worry too much about your new DL number. Anyone asking for ID is going to be more concerned that your license is current and valid.

I couldn't find an appropriate existing topic for this ... Mel B's wedding dress is so pretty it needs a mention. "The star, whose real name is Melanie Brown, wore a dramatic white gown with pearl detailing around the neckline and the sheer sleeves, with a long veil covering her hair, which had...

Beautiful brooch! I hope you find excuses to wear it often.

They have nice lustre! I've seen them in necklaces.

I'm happy to learn I'm not the only one to rework TJMaxx items. I recently picked up a clearance bracelet with stick freshwater pearls that I plan to rework into .... something. Thinking earrings.

I believe some Native American tribes may do bead weaving. I imagine if someone were skilled at making lace, incorporating beads may be the next step.

I imagine perfect Edisons will be pricey, as will perfectly round Akoya. Your best bet is to deal with reputable vendors that you trust.

Another thought is to go shopping when you're together. Your friend may see something they really like and you can offer to buy it for them.

Your only information may be the hallmarks; I hope that's not too disappointing. It's a beautiful necklace, wear it in good health.

Reused, and hijacked or stolen from reputable pearl companies. I seem to recall some of our esteemed vendors having an issue with this.

I read the transcript -- thanks for sharing, it was interesting! I guess I'm a big pearl nerd, because the only thing I didn't know was that PP is located in Charlton Heston's old office. :giggle:
