    Thank you so much, helpful forum members! If and when I get a pair of pearls in hand, how could I get some kind of expert opinion that this particular pair is bead nucleated freshwater instead of south sea pearls? The Etsy customer service might need some opinions in order to prove...

    Etsy seller. Their shop policies say items are not returnable. On etsy, I am not as confident as I would be on ebay. I am still talking to the seller, not buying right away. Also need to ask them which country is shipped from. If I correctly understand, the main risk of buying online is that...

    The 'Pearls As One' course has lots of interesting information. Yes I took it, many thanks to the creators. At the same time, I personally find this forum to be way more useful than any course ;) Not sure I understand this....to glue yourself what?

    They quoted me for a pair of 11.4mm round shape, slight imperfections, high lustre, price is AUD $2300. If this is a good price, then I don't want such pearls.

    Hello everyone, Looking to buy a pair of white SSP for my jewelry project online. Half drilled 12mm. A seller named crystal-pearl from China offered me these: I asked for photos under a daylight. How do you find the luster of these? Quoted $135 for these. Thank you!
