Hello group, these little beauties seem a bit special, but I still don't know how to discern a whole lot regarding pearls. I think these are buttons. They have a hint of blue or gray and the luster is quite nice. They measure approx 7 mm high by 6 -6.5 mm wide. The post in the pearls is...

Hello Group, It's been a long while since I've popped in. Life is busy! I hope you are each well. I've discovered I'm not a pearl collector, but I still like them a lot. :) I'm sharing a strand I recently acquired. They look a little different than the usual pieces that come in the mail bag...

Hi Group, This little piece came with a grouping. Are those white things pearls? They look like bad teeth! The clasp is marked 14k and it's evident that it's old. Thank you for any thoughts.

Hi Pearl Guide Folks - I have some questions about a couple of my latests grabs. I think the ones with the 14k beads are fresh water, but I don't know, of course. And the more lustrous ones maybe akoyas? In addition, I have another question, but if I need to ask in a different thread, please...

Since I do not have a Federal Tax ID number yet, where is the most reliable and fair-priced place to shop? TIA!

My latest thrift buys. Are they akoyas and fresh water? I love the pink and gray strands and the chunky silver clasp. Thanks!

My latest find: Pearl ring. I think it's cultured fresh water, but wanted to share. It's 14K with 4 little diamonds. I'm working through Jeremy's online classes. Hopefully I'll be better educated when I've finished. Thanks!

Hello Pearl Peeps, Yesterday I found a super cute sterling silver, pearl and glass bead bracelet, which I LOVE, at a thrift shop and a couple other little surprises. But, I don't know how to identify pearls yet. I think the earrings are Silpada BC there's a Silpada hallmark on the front of the...

In my thrify shopping excursion yesterday, I found a cute pair of earrings and some other pearls. I threw the post earrings in the trash BC the posts are not precious, but then then fished them out thinking maybe someone would want the pearls. Unfortunately I couldn't find the other gray pearl...

I picked up a couple 925 necklaces (at thrift stores) with pearls. Are the purple-y ones dyed? I'm guessing pearls that are on chains aren't so special since the metal would ruin them over time. Thanks in advance!

Hello Group, I'm attaching images of 2 pins. The heart has a hallmark that I do not recognize. Also, the pearls have no holes and appear so perfectly shaped, I'm guessing they must be cultured. The pearls measure approx. 3mm. The little lapel pin is gold, but has no markings, however, I notice...

Hello, Thank you for this site! I've been reading through posts and have been fascinated! I had no idea! Recently I stumbled on a lovely strand of pearls in a thrift store and purchased them. They are quite special and I wonder if anyone would be willing to share thoughts on their origin etc...
