Interesting. I haven't been on their sites since before Christmas. I did buy my daughter a freshwater pearl necklace from Pearls of Joy as well as a pair of black freshwater studs for myself from Pearl Paradise and I thought the prices were good on both pieces but this was BEFORE Christmas for both purchases. Both sites will likely do sales for Mother's Day upcoming so if there is something you want, wait for the coupon code.

They did mention that due to climate change, it’s getting harder to find larger Akoya pearls. So, they did say there would be an increase on larger Akoyas. Also, they don’t have any sale going on. During Christmas many products were 25% off or more.
I purchased this from an Etsy seller called Rolay (also Rolay Design) it is a lovely gold SS drop in 14kt gold. It has some rose and green overtones. I need to get a chain for it. I was shocked how fast it arrived. I would buy from him again.
Edison’s from Kong Pearl. I wasn’t super impressed. They arrived covered in white powder, the temp string broke so I had to try to size sort them before stringing them and they seem smaller than described. I wound up using an Edison leftover from another project to be the focal pearl.
I bought mine from epyT on Etsy but sadly she doesn't have any more listings
I was lucky that @TXLVlove gave me the heads up on that strandI have had other good purchases from Kongs, these were just not quite what was pictured in terms of quality and size. Plus they arrived looking like they had been through a war, I had to wipe them off.I bought mine from epyT on Etsy but sadly she doesn't have any more listings
edit: I will say they look better IRL than in my pic
Wearing my vintage string today lariat style.
First time commenting in this Pearl Lovers thread as I'm mostly on the Jade one...
I loved seeing all the beautiful pearl jewellery in this thread and thought I'd share my small pearl collection
Got these in Japan a couple of years ago:
Bought these freshwater ones in Vietnam:

This is a new piece from an Etsy seller called the Big Dipper pendant because the stones are in the shape of the constellation. A large Tahitian pearl hangs off it. The chain is mine, she had it on a 3mm pearl strand with bumpers that cost as much as the pendant and I didn’t like bumpers on the tiny pearls
