I love my Real Tahitian pearls. I bought the baroque shape for my necklace. I also have singles on a gold chain. I've been to French Polynesia three times. It's less expensive to buy them besides Bora Bora

So if the description of the pearl at a store says genuine & does not say natural does not say cultured, what does that mean?

[@JewelsoftheTrade]

“Cultured” may be implied here, unless it is a well known type of natural pearl such as Melo Melo, Conch, etc. Natural pearls tend to be very expensive. My recommendation would be to ask the seller what they mean by genuine - as some sellers may misuse this term.

[@ericafors6039]

Would love to buy a single black for my brother. Love the look. Not a fan of ‘traditional’ pearls at all. I’m with Matt, I love the irregular shapes and freshwater randomness.

[@charlesdominiquedy8188]

Where to ask for help to check about the authenticity of pearls? Thanks

[@JewelsoftheTrade]

Your local jewelry store should be able to help you! 😊

[@adrianaclark8498]

Such rapid fire speech! Is she on a time limit? I had to go to another video about pearls.

[@anthonyroquepaguntalan4340]

Sir I have tahitian pearl were can I sell this salt water pearl

[@Em-sz7bh]

What about West Australian pearls? Where do they stand in the market - they’re saltwater from the Indian Ocean. I’m pretty sure they get back and white pearls from farming

[@anvarsanaev7267]

Well, in todays day there is no real differences beetween male or female. So the male can weare anything as well as female...😊

[@aswaltan8962]

[@JewelsoftheTrade]

Thank you for watching my video! I hope you enjoyed it!

[@freedomfighter4990]

I know men have worn pearls for centuries, esp. Chinese royalty & Indian Maharajas. But I don't like to see pearls on a man. Pearls are a uniquely feminine jewel, they come from the sea, which I also associate with the feminine. Pearls are the only gemstone that comes from a living creature, not something dug up out of the ground. So I don't like pearls on a man. Let the guys have their Rolexes, leave the pearls for us ladies.

[@SamuraiSunshine00]

I love to see MGK with them he broke barriers lol

[@entertainmentark3612]

What is your name, you never mention it in your videos, or in about section. Not even in your Instagram. Anyways the way you present, your energy is phenomenal. You are one of the best in presenting and engaging the viewers. If you were making videos in any other popular category you'll be having millions of viewers. Anyways the secret behind your energy? And why you make videos only about jade and not other gemstones. I understand it is your business. But I do hope you explore and make interesting content about all gemstones.
