Re: Are they akoyas?
I'll definitely give them a more thorough bath when I pull them apart. Since they are graduated, that should be an interesting endeavor to keep them in order. |

Re: Are they akoyas?
Thanks naria. I did already clean them - I have the pearl doctor cleaning solution so I gave them a nice bath in that.

Re: Are they akoyas?
Thanks pearlsngems! I am going to restring the strand this weekend. The silk they are on presently is stretched and kinda gross. I'll have to post more photos when they are complete! |

Re: Are they akoyas?
thanks pearlsngems! I had always thought that pinking was done post drilling which is why I was looking for pink around the drill holes. I'll take better photos today and post them later. I don't have much invested in this so it's no skin off my nose either way... I'm just curious about them. |

Re: Are they akoyas?
Hmmm... interesting. OK - it's dark here so I'll try to take more photos tomorrow! |

Re: Are they akoyas?
Thanks naria and pearlsngems. I was very certain that they aren't faux - I just don't know how to tell freshwater from akoya. :)) I also didn't know that pinking would be done pre-drilling. Good to know! I think the blue you're seeing may be the blue shirt I was wearing when I snapped the photos. |

Re: Blue/green tourmaline. What do u think?
My guess is that is going to be dark and more green IRL - kinda like the 4 and 8 o'clock positions on that photo. |

Are they akoyas?
I picked up this vintage graduated pearl necklace the other day. They were sold to me as akoyas - I honestly wouldn't know the difference either way! How can you tell? They are a lovely cream body color with pinkish overtones. I don't see any pink around the drill holes so it doesn't look like they ... |

Re: Can you please help me find a spessartite?
I know you said your budget is $1k, but if you can flex it even a little, I'd suggest looking at Athena's spess listed on the bistro. http://diamondbistro.com/category/219/Colored-Center-Stone/listings/33400/Gene-Nigerian-Spess-in-18kt-WG.html |

Re: I saw a Wholesale Jewler. Here is the Offer. Is it B.S.
