Big thanks to Gina LaTendresse for sharing part of her awesome collection with us! What would you like to see more of? Let us know!

[@stephenscordato4321]

The way Gina smiled when you hit the nail on the head at the 4 minute mark made me smile, too! Love all of the bright hosts we're blessed with on the Gemstones channel.

[@joyceangelieri1204]

This is great.I enjoyed learning all about PEARLS.

[@kathysabo9703]

Pearls, the 'Queen' of Gems..what beautiful, simple,pure elegance! In Victorian era mourning jewelry they represented tears,too.

[@sunitafisher4758]

🌸 oh noooo my mom told me they were for tears, I didn’t understand I love them anyway 😊❤

[@berthaadamson1225]

Great collection! I knew vaguely of pearls from the Americas but have not seen such an extensive selection in one presentation. They are beautiful. I understand why rounds are popular but I have always preferred the baroque shapes. Thanks, I definitely want to add at least one to my collection if I can.

[@sageharmon2319]

Absolutely great video!!!! I was hoping you would mention abalone pearls (since I live in California….i have found 2 in my whole life)…..wow I love your content soooo much! I always learn a lot!!!! One time, my friend and I gathered mussels for a delicious meal. She opened a mussel and there were around 5 PINK “seed” pearls! Small but wonderful. Thanks for this video once again!

[@gems]

Oh wow! That's awesome!

[@katrussell6819]

Great information. I have several CULTURED fresh water pearls. I'd like to learn more about them. Please do another show on pearls. My birthstone.

[@gems]

Stay tuned!

[@debbiedausch7259]

Thank you

[@philodendron6]

One rather prefers natural pearls, especially fresh water ones, to the farmed ones . Have seen fresh water mussels in France the length of saucers, jealously protected by a family living in the château for centuries. The slightest pollution in the water and a whole population is no longer.

9:53 the shell is talking!

[@LostInAustin97]

I feel like I’ve been waiting for so long for a new video 😭 I’ve watched literally every video on the channel, tysm for posting amazing informative videos all these years!!

[@dawnbrown9898]

This was so fascinating!!❤❤

[@sunitafisher4758]

🌸 I love my natural river Pearl earrings, dewdrop style I have a cultured ring, set on sun streaks, to match my name Sun ☀️ I have loved pearls more than diamonds 💎 and have a natural river Pearl necklace Whereas my mother preferred diamonds and told me pearls are for tears I have been happy my whole life, helping others, no tears except my pearls 🐉

[@deborahellenberger7153]

Thank you Gina. Thank you both for an informative video.

[@lunasky5635]

[@brianlawson363]

Great video, but where is Rebecca ?

[@gems]

She had a baby!

[@barbaracovey]

Great presentation! Thanks

[@priscillataylor2736]

Super collection

[@LostWithoutHer]

The GIA Pearls and Graduate Pearls programs are reasonably priced and definitely worth it if you own pearls and want to be sure you're not making mis-identified or overpriced purchases in the future. Highly recommend.....On a funnier note, always double check any cooked mollusk you plan on eating before chomping down hard and chipping a tooth on a pearl. 😲

[@ZaDussault]

I second this. I have chomped on a blue mussel pearl and that think hurt. I managed to keep it as a souvenir, it's very small, but I keep it in its original shell!

[@michelledavis5455]

Amazing

[@shelleydavis9956]

Gina - does your company make mother of pearl (MOP) jewelry? Would love to learn more about MOP.

[@bmeetze]

Thank you Gina! I actually got oysters last year sometime and found a completely natural pearl in one of them. I have it in a special place but have no idea what to do with it. Any suggestions?

[@mr.treefrog5789]

So in theory if you took one of the snail formations and cut it open would you find remnants of a snail inside?

[@gems]

I believe that's the idea!

[@mr.treefrog5789]

@@gems that's really neat, wonder how intact it would be

[@paigey1995-]

No melomelo 🥺
