    How to identify Edison and other bead-nucleated pearls?

    I think you do have to see that the good bead nuked freshwaters are truly a fine pearl in their own way. Mikimoto in Madison Ave had several strands, along with a few beautiful ropes of mixed WSS; GSS; Tahitian and bead nuked FW - they were well informed and completely honest in describing the...

    Hello Kitty Tiara!

    I think that strand was around 275K from memory - it is done as a birthday celebration from Hello Kitty, I believe - saw it a couple of months ago, but haven't seen the tiara!!!

    Pearl Grading Lab Course?

    Yes, I combined it with the attending the show. Couldn't justify the course otherwise! I think mine was all in one day, though?

    Pearl Grading Lab Course?

    I thought the lab day was pretty woeful. It wasn't really the instructor's fault, either - this was the accepted level of knowledge, obviously. That said, I did learn a little - mostly about colour grading of Tahitians... can't say its something I have used since, but it was interesting...

    Pearl Grading Lab Course?

    Hi MelT - I am in Sydney too, and did the lab component of the GIA course in Hong Kong a few years ago. I think by the end of the first hour, the instructor was referring all questions from the group to me - they honestly didn't know much about pearls at all! The GAA is responsible for a piece...

    Ugh:( Pearl Perfection article in Rapaport Magazine

    I did write an article for the Australian Jeweller Magazine in November 2013... it is somewhere here on this site, too. There is another editorial next month for which a few other pearl suppliers here in Australia and I have contributed to as well... Gotta get the correct info out there!

    Look at what's coming to the Victoria and Albert Museum!

    I think I have just added a few days in London at the front of my late-January US trip! The V&A is usually worth a visit in its own right... amazing place! Wendy - why aren't you heading there to go and have a look? It's in your backyard!!
