    My old 10mm & new (old) 10.5mm studs.

    I took them to the local coin store & he said they were nice & not to be in a hurry to return them. He said he would have paid $200 but he has to resell them & $300 was fair. The yellow gold posts plated white are not visible so should not deter me as the pearl have good luster & are black not...

    My first floating Tahitian pendant, and "how" I made it.

    Wow, exciting & brave. Glad it worked out. The pearl is beautiful & a thick nacre! Excellent job.

    Tahitian Pearl Necklace- Advice?

    I like that color & think they are pretty but if trying to match then its harder from photos. I used to like dark but have that & the silver now appeals to me as different & something I don;t have. Hope you were able to get the colors you wanted.

    One Tahitian into a necklace

    Ohhhh...very nice colorful tahitian & worked into a lovely strand. Nice to be able to knot/string pearls & you did great!
  5. Smeared a little eyeshadow & it & the pearl brings out the grey green in my eyes which have a tigers eye center. They are a bit large but not overly so. I like some peacock tones in a charcoal gray pearl as too blue or green pearls makes my eyes look more brown. Bad news looks like posts are...

    My old 10mm & new (old) 10.5mm studs.

    Thank You, I enjoyed wearing them yesterday with my mask. LOL I felt underdressed & also I don't wear makeup anymore. Pearls were lovely but i felt blah. I imagine the colors of makeup would bleed onto the mask. Can;t even wear lipstick. Yuck. Sad state of affairs & I should try to keep up...
  8. Thanks everyone. Today will be my first day wearing them out. Guess they will look ok with a mask. LOL One thing I am happy about & never can find the answer is why most modern posts are .8mm /20 guage? My ears were pierced in the 80's & I like the 1mm 18 guage post thickness which is hard to...

    My old 10mm & new (old) 10.5mm studs.

    Not bought a pearl in a few years. I guess I have always been drawn to this color. The studs on the left are my old 10mm 18K yellow gold with mecan backs. I got bit by the Tahitian bug again & was drawn to a 10.5mm similar pair on ebay in 18K white gold. I esp like the thick backs which come in...

    Fake ebay Mikimoto’s? “Vintage 14K M clasp”??

    Found one: Got it a K14 clasp modern design if this is not the strand then its similar. I think that box came after the green so it could be 80's not sure so maybe its OK? Clasp pearl looks like it has better luster than the strand https://www.ebay.com/itm/MIKIMOTO-7-...TQAAOSwK5tcGp6 0...

    Fake ebay Mikimoto’s? “Vintage 14K M clasp”??

    Interesting. I have a silver clasp on mine from the 60/70's. They have had other gold clasps of different designs. I can;t remember k14 or not. That is the most recent clasp design I know of so don't think that one would have come in 14K but can;t be sure. I had a white gold dress clip from the...
