    Not ebay, but similar auction site. Are these dyed freshwater, or....?

    Sometimes you can find treasures on the Goodwill Auction side, but I am mystified by these. Are they tahitians? Dyed freshwaters? I wish I wasn't still so clueless about pearls still. Sometimes it's obvious what they are, but some, like these, I just don't have enough knowledge to figure it out...

    These are very interesting...what are they?

    The pictures aren't very clear, unfortunately. I was watching it, but it just sold...did I miss out, or was this a ridiculous price for these? I was asking the seller questions, so I do know the clasp was something cheap. She thought it had been restrung over the years...

    Some random pearls I picked up--what are they?

    I snagged these on ebay for what I thought was a great price ($20) because I just loved the way they looked. They badly need to be restrung, especially since they aren't currently knotted. Using what I've learned here and on the Pearls as One course, I knew they were real pearls, but I am just...

    So I wish someone had warned me this was so addictive--my next attempts :)

    There is something soothing about knotting pearls. I've been practicing on a few cheaper, small strands of pink freshwaters. The one that has silver accents has been claimed by my 7-yr-old, and the other I've tossed in my etsy store just for the heck of it. These are knotted on the "Baby" color...

    There's no way these are South Sea pearls, right?

    So thanks to this forum, I now go out of my way to search and compare pearls on ebay. Today, I came across these, and I guess ebay was stalking me because a few hours later I got an email from ebay telling me they'd been reduced by $600 (!!). My guess is they are dyed freshwater pearls. Am I...

    A hello, a BIG thanks, and my first pearl strand!

    Hello all! I've been lurking and learning on the forum for some time now, and thanks to all the great info I've learned from you all, I finally completed my first knotted strand of pearls! Pearls are from Kong's Pearl on etsy, the thread is Pattye's Beader's Secret, and the clasp is 14k gold...
