Re: Metallic White Freshwater Pearls at Pearl Paradise

The bill says they are 7.5 to 8mm and finished length is 35 inches. I am out of town so I haven't paid for them yet.

Re: My version of a long rope being made:

:cry: Well, shoot.

I have two ropes, one without a clasp the other three clasps. I don't like seeing the clasps so I don't wear it. I am going to take it apart and remove them. If you come up with something that doesn't show much please tell us.

Mystery clasps are wonderful. It sure would be great not to have the clasp interrupt your design.

I guessed right. I am drawn to the metallic, but that is just me. I do collect them in any color I can get.
Have you asked for photos of akoya's yet?

Re: Luster of Tahitians vs Akoyas

Tara, I have satiny Tahitians and also glossy luster. I really am drawn to Tahitians with obvious overtones of other colors. The Tahitian/akoya strands have obvious overtones. Perhaps you could call and ask for a glamor shot of three strands to consider. If you want overtones of a certain shade you ...

Re: Luster of Tahitians vs Akoyas

I don't know where you purchased them and there is no universal grading system. That being said Tahitians many times are more satiny and only higher quality will have a glossy luster. Here is a link of Tahitians and akoyas together. Do yours look like this? http://www.pearlparadise.com/AltView.aspx?...

Mrs. Taylor, Why not call Pearl Paradise and ask them to send you a photo of a strand of freshadamas next to akoya strands in Silver, Rose` and Ivory. I personally am drawn to Rose` overtones and buy pearls with that quality. I have a friend who loves Silver overtones. Freshadama I believe may be pi...

Re: Odd color pearl binge

Yes, they appear dyed. The seller may have been avoiding your question or was telling you they were natural pearls not faux or shell pearls. Many companies sell dyed pearls, as long as the dye doesn't come off and discolor your clothing they should last a while.

I'm sorry for your loss Bodid. Selling used pearls without an accurate appraisal of the grade of pearls or type you are selling will be tough.
