😊😊😊 Jeremy’s enthusiasm on the subject of pearls is contagious!!
I've gotten the best prices and nicest pearls from estate sales ❤
Thank you so much for your information 😊 I am glad to see that the pub is finally getting a better understanding of how we culture pearls. I have know for a long time that we intriduce a round base into the mollusk and the mollusk adds the nacre layers. I have only SUPPOSED that the grading system has a bit to do with the length of time/layers of nacre formula of that lot of cultured pearls. Excellent video! ❤
Love how informative this video is! Definitely learned a lot and feel way more confident buying pearls online 😊
I am taking the Pearl course and just love it. I find it quite fascinating!!

It’s so important to know what’s what! 😊 And there is shockingly little information on the internet clearing up this confusion. Glad you found the video helpful!!
I love pearls mine are only dyed but I still love them I have loved them since I was very young .😍😍
For me the pearl craze was before the Jade hysteria, but I was able to not be as hooked, Im winged of this phase TG ❤

I have a strand of Mikimoto pearls. the strand was purchased in 1962 in Japan. Beautiful buttery pink in color
I've purchased and began collecting honora pearls. Love the color variations. I've been told the are cultured. Not glass etc. Are these a decent investment? Spent a little to get them. I think a good price
I have a bunch of pearls but I don’t know where to send them to be evaluated and appraised do you guys do that?
What is the blue crystal on Jeremy’s desk? And thanks so much for the information I’ve learnt so much, especially Because I want to buy pearls for my daughters

You haven't heard of Philippines pearl? like in Palawan and Mindanao?
I wondered how the KZread channels really got their pearls. I was recommended a channel that I've been watching and thinking about ordering some pearls. I got recommended pearl paradise channel that's how I ended up on this one. I'll not be buying any from those channels. I'll stick to my favorite jewelry stores. Thanks for the info.

Hi! Is nacre formed around an irritant, like a grain of sand, secreted over and over again, eventually resulting in a pearl? Thank you 🪷
@JewelsoftheTrade
Жыл бұрын
That’s a great question! If you fast-forward to 10:53 in this video, Jeremy explains the answer in-depth. But, to put it simply, pearls do not form around a grain of sand. Pearl formation starts with the displacement of epithelial cells inside the mollusk.
