Hi, brand new poster here! I've been enjoying all the discussions and especially the photos of everyone's pearls.
I've bought quite a number of items from an eBay seller called Pearl Lunar. They have some pairs of tear drop shaped pearls in their listings right now. One of the things I like about them is that they are very clear whether the color you see is dyed or not. They also post tons of photos of the actual pearls you get, which I check against my purchases when they arrive. Yes, sure enough, they are exactly the ones pictured, down to the tiniest blemishes.
Since I'm new, I'm not going to put a link in here. I have no association with this seller other than as a very satisfied customer. In fact, I'm wearing a strand of pink baroques from them right now
