Has anyone brought anything yet?? I have *smirks* Beyond excited at receiving my FIRST EVER yes first ever kojima piece and what a way to enter the kojima world then by buying an off round (looks round enough) Tahitian strand! I need to thank all the participants of the ‘pearls in action’...

Hi everyone hope you’re all well General question for you all; I know most freshwaters go through standard luster “treatment” at point of origin (hot and cold to tighten nacre up) but where do things stand on metallics? Are “metallics” just the ones that have had extra luster treatment or...

HELLO! Everyone! Gosh it’s been a long time, maybe 6 years I think since I last posted here. A lot has happened in 6 years; things and humans (my babies)! Have grown, everything’s grown except my Pearl collection haha. When I was last here I very much a GSS and Tahitian girl, couldn’t imagine...

Hi everyone! It’s been a long time but I’ll post this, then head over to the freshwater pearls section and post the proper hello :eek: Just needed to show off my new Tahitian tin cup necklace that’s on its way to me! Can hardly wait.

Ok so first of all I feel I need to apologise. I've realised I only ever come here when I'm awaiting a pearl purchase... I swear it's not me being selfish with my time I just don't (can't afford to!) Make pearl purchases as often as I'd love to (I'm so into coloured gemstones so once I have one...

First of all apologies if this is the wrong place for this question. I was at a loss for a while because I can't find the live chat feature on the website and I'm really trying to get through to John (have emailed him) re a quote he's sorting out for me. Then I remembered this forum!! So has...

I'm ill. Really ill. It's almost as if my mind is not mine anymore. It's filled with thoughts of pearls, visions of pearls, desires for pearls!!! My recently ordered freshadama strand is not even yet here but my want, absolute need for more,more, more is insatiable.... so my thoughts have...

What does it mean? I know my new freshadama strand (on its way to me :) :) :) ) isn't dyed white but is bleached. But what exactly does that mean? Like soaking it in a jar of (bathroom) bleach to dissolve away the top layer so a whiter shinier layer from underneath is revealed? I'd like to know...

Please! I'm contemplating a new jewellery box for my stuff that doesn't live in a safe (and I won't be leaving the box on the dresser top haha) so wanted some inspiration. What gorgeous (and hopefully sparkly?) homes do you have for your goodies? Need pics!!! Can be any type of jewellery...

And my head goes pop. I posed this pic in my other thread but I think it will get seen more here and also hoping the pic comes out a bit bigger. Which one is the 'best' for you and why. For me it's between the metallic (won't say which) and the 3rd freshadama from the top because they have...

With all the proper care ie last thing on first thing off etc, will they be exactly the same in 20 years as the day you brought them? I ask because I've been reading about the bleaching of freshadamas and how it's not permanent, so what does this mean in real life terms? What can we expect to...

http://m.ebay.com/itm/391048698000?nav=SEARCH Is that ring being modelled on what I think it's being modelled on??!

Or triple strand..... Anyone here have either of the above and willing to share a neck shot? :) Even in a different size...I'm just trying to get a sense of the colour. Cheers!

So I've got my golden yoko london south sea studs. Only problem is they look champagne yellow to me...but perfect luster (can clearly see my reflection) only 1 blemish on one and near perfect roundness. But I wanted a deep gold! Before I received these I was talking to someone at PP because...

Hi all. I've been reading over this (and other) forums for the past week or so since my new found love of gold pearls. Specifically southsea ones because I love the rarity factor :) I am seriously thinking about purchasing a pair of "medium to dark gold" ss stud earrings in 18k yellow gold...
