Pearl Education (Warning: Somewhat of a Rant)

[gga]

^If you'll look a bit further up this page, it looks like the OP has been sent to the couches. I don't think she'll be able to get back to you, Candice.

what does that mean gga? she's sent to the couches?

 

[gga]

She's banned from the forum. Look under her name. It says "sofa king banned."

Means she's not allowed to post/be a member here any more.

Weird. I wonder what happened? (Rhetorical question; I know we shouldn't speculate or gossip)

 

[Candice0985]

Well I hope everything is okay with Callire.....

would anyone else know the answer to why I cant see pics on TPG? lol

 

[Candice0985]

for anyone who was in the same boat with TPG...there is a wait period while they validate your account, its about a week

Too bad OP was banned... this thread is very useful even though its more than a year old. I was looking at the Akoya , Freshwater. Tahitian pearls.... and I am trying to learn how to differentiate them (akoya and freshwater n south seas)... i thought akoya looks more metallic and the narce might not be complete.. or thats because its of a lower grade?

am looking for a 18" hanadama strand, for a while I was thinking about getting it from pearlparadise, but after reading this thread I do some search on TPO and find out that I can buy hanadama from them with lower cost..

comparison :
- 7.5-8.0 pearparadise cost $ 2,474
- 7.5-8.0 TPO cost $ 2,100

where should I buy from ? TIA
