I joined PG a month ago but I've been lurking for some time. I'm in mid-20s and actually have never really been interested in any jewelry before, but pearls are really special.
My love for pearls started a year ago when I gave my boyfriend's mother a cheap pearl necklace from Lombok island in Indonesia as souvenir. She liked it a lot and asked me to find more for her friends (she's in France). So I began searching around because I wanted to know what I'm actually buying, it led me to this site where I've got to learn a lot about pearls. The more I knew about pearls, the more I became fond of it. And eversince then, I've been doing a little buying and selling because people have asked me to buy pearls for them, thanks to the knowledge I got from this website. But I've collected few pieces for myself as well.
My camera doesn't capture indoor light very well, so my pictures tend to be dark.
This is a gift from my mother, a double strand 6mm Akoya pearl necklace. She bought it 15 years ago but have never worn it. Not top quality but still very lovely to wear and the clasp is a thing of beauty.
This one is PP's Freshadama bracelet 7,5-8mm. Unfortunately, PP doesn't ship to Indonesia so I had to ask my cousin in Singapore to arrange the purchase for me. Worth the effort, the pearls are truly gorgeous!
This necklace is my favorite because I just love colorful stuff. The pearls are very nice with interesting colors that are difficult to capture with camera. I've always received compliments whenever I'm wearing it They're 8-8,5mm in size.
My favorite has always been freshwater pearl as they can be very beautiful yet affordable. But on the last jewelry exhibition I visited, I came across these beautiful loose South Sea pearls and just had to buy it. Both are around 11.5mm and have such interesting luster that are different than most South Sea pearls I've seen. I'm not really familiar with SSP, but is it normal for SSP to have this kind of luster?
I'm looking for a ring to add to my collection, haven't found the right design though.
Thank you for looking at my small collection, and I'm sorry for my English
