Big thanks to CortezPearls 's tutorial video (https://www.pearl-guide.com/article...diy-project-make-your-very-own-pearls-in-half), I now have my first half Tahitian pearl . So here is my homework submission:
filedata/fetch?filedataid=71872
filedata/fetch?filedataid=71873
I purposely chose one of my least expensive Tahitian to do this project, thinking maybe the nacre was thin. Have to say I was surprised about the thickness of the nacre. It was also interesting for me to see the "ends" didn't include any empty space with dried organic matter inside but it's just thicker nacre there, at least in this pearl that's the case. The banded bead nucleus looks neat, too!
Douglas's video is really COOL, make sure you check it out! Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJNDqvdZ_vU&t=4s
To me the more important thing is, his video encouraged me and gave me the confidence to do it by my own hands. Thank you, Douglas, for taking so much time and patience to make such a wonderful video for me and all of us! I had a lot fun!!
