    Real or Fake? What did I buy?

    I see why you wanted them either way, between the luster, colors, and the varied sizes, they are enormous fun!

    How to darken my pearls?

    Reporting back. Bottom line, no, Rit Dye didn't dye my pearls. More details: I attempted to dye the pearls along with a shirt I wanted to tint towards a warmer tone. I put the pearls into the mesh bag, and used the bucket version vs the washing machine version. The shirt was mainly cotton, but...

    The blues and tahitians are a winner with those earrings! Makes me want to hunt down mis-matched earrings for myself and play with combos...:unsure:

    Sorry to spam, there was just more new content than I expected 🥰. As contrition, here's my contribution. I twisted a Tahitian tin cup around my new purplish freshwaters from Kojima, with lime knots.

    For people who purchase pearls… specifically with gold clasps

    And there is the cost trade-off. A real gold clasp elevates a necklace, as do gems or fanciness. But it also makes the price go way up. I've seen a tiny diamond that wouldn't be noticed in a gold clasp double the price of a decent pearl necklace. That takes me out as a buyer, because as BWeaves...

    How to darken my pearls?

    Jeg's bare, and of course there are pearls....I mean, jeg's bear. Thanks, Pearl Dreams and Jeg, I have some tan Rit to use on clothes with too many white bits. I will cautiously experiment and report back.

    BWeaves, I thought that the pendant was on leather at first, but I see it's a woven cord. I like the mixed look with a chain necklace, I'll have to try that. Jeg, I would spend all my time just gazing at the pearls on those amazing necklaces if I wore them. At least they are long enough to...

    How to darken my pearls?

    I bought this tiny freshwater multistrand necklace a while back, hoping to use it to hook an enhancer on. I don't look good in white pearls, I'm a warm color person. These are on the beige side, but is there a way to make them browner? I tried soaking them in coffee for two days, but didn't...

    That lime green touch takes it to the next level. It's my favorite 'kick' color to add to a colorway.

    Brand New to Forum--Wondering About My Beautiful Pearl Ring

    It's gorgeous, and not like most pearl rings. The relatively flat stone makes it so wearable. I see why you love it!

    Vintage Deltah Pearl Necklace with Original Box & 14KT Gold Clasp

    Aren't the vast majority of large real pearls knotted (or with spacers)? I understand small ones are not always knotted.
