I really loved how Antoinette and Nathalie teach about pearls. With every new video, I learn a little more about gems, and I love it.
Please, bring Antoinette again.
One thing that wasn't mentioned is that you have cultured saltwater and freshwater pearls. Freshwater pearls make up most of the pearls you see in the market and are quite affordable. While the best quality saltwater pearls always trumps the best of freshwater pearls in rarity, value, and luster, freshwater pearls are actually 100% nacre. That is because they are cultured from pieces of mantle tissue and not the shell beads used to culture saltwater pearls. So freshwater pearls are a pretty good deal in my opinion, very durable, can attain high luster, and at only fraction of the cost.
Back in the seventies, my dad brought a string of cultured pearls back from Japan, for my mom. Mikimoto cultured pearls. He even brought a canned oyster, with a cultured pear in it, and a little book about the process. I'm still in awe of our ability to manipulate nature and create such beauty.
Do a video on parti-color/ bi-color sapphires or parti-color alexandrite or alexandrite in general and explain why they change their color
THE purple color comes from the interior of the quahog shell. The wampanoag indians of the mashpee region used this as wampum, or trade beads, money. You can purchase wampum jewelry from indigenous makers in the Northeastern region.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🙏🏼💙⛵😁
Excellent video! I am a GG and I was lucky enough to attend a 3 day seminar in Vermont with Antoinette Matlins several years ago. It was an incredible experience. She is a treasure of knowledge and a treasure to the industry. I hope she comes back to do more videos! Wonderful to see her.
Wow this lady absolutely LOVES pearls. That’s inspiring
Thank you Antoinette!! You were fascinating to listen to! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I love pearls! 🤩 They’re my favorite mineral/gemstone of all time and my birthstone 💗
Shelby T you june???
Bob Bob Yeah my bday is June 22

Shelby T Aren't you glad that ur birthstone is made of sand and spit XD
TheNicePitbull I am! That’s one of the reasons pearls are my favorite gemstone is because they are created by a creature from the ocean 😁
Oh my goodness! What a wealth of knowledge. Pearls have always been my weak spot. Now I'm glad they are. I enjoyed this youtube so very, very much. Thank you ladies. What a joy!

Very beautiful pearls. Good to know that pearls are strong! 😁😁😁
Thank you Antoinette! Loved listening to your wealth of knowledge about pearls. I learned so much. Would love to see a how a mollusk is opened and what it looks like with the pearl inside. 😁😁💜
UA-cam tahitian pearl harvest you can see many videos of it being done
Like a a big chunk of phlegm with a Tictac lodged in it, stuck to the bottom of an old coffee mug

I know that fairly recently faceted pearls have come on to the market... I'd love to know how this is done, and what to look for in the quality of such pearls.
Thank you Antoinette for giving us your pearls of wisdom... pun intended. 😊
😀😆 love this video ! She's a sweet heart can't wait to see next episode 👍
Thank you so much 😊😊😊
😊 loved this! Would you consider natural or cultured pearls more ethical?
I love Antoinette!! I learned so much about pearls, I love it!! Especially the Krishna story!! Thanks!! 😃😃😃🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️♥️♥️
Where is the best place to purchase pearls to use to make jewelry for a small jewelry business like self. I am in the US but would order from anywhere.
The natural North East Coast Pearls are my favorite. Love pearls.
Thank you!! This was lovely and informative!
😁
:D :D :D This was great- thank you! Natalie was exceptional!
That was informative and Quahog Pearls are unique.
Loved her, the way she explained it 😍😍

😃 Great episode! I learned a lot today, and I enjoyed it all! Thank you!
😁 Thank you so much!
I hope she can showcase pearls from my country Philippines... We are called pearl of the orient for no reason... Sulu pearls price somtimes to million dollars 👍👍👍
So wait, my friend has a charm bracelet with a pearl on it and over time the pearl has seemed to shrink and deform as if the layers are peeling away. Does this mean that the pearl is loosing the luster and only the nuclei is showing like your describing here? Only I've never seen evidence it actually peeling anywhere. No flaking.
The NC emerald reminds me of a Parameriable (sp?) Tourmaline.
Wow😍

The closest thing most people could get to a natural pearl is South Sea Keshi pearls, because they are pure nacre.

Moral of the story: thicc is better
Man, my birthstone is trash.
Interesting! As a geology major/chem minor lots to unpack here. Obviously avoided biology because the physical sciences are much less messy, but my understanding is that even with the carbonate buffer system we have built-in over eons of evolution, there is still some wiggle room. And some people will have more acidic excretions than others, and this is why some people can't wear less-noble metals cuz they get green stains. Aragonite is way more suceptible to acid than, say, nickel. Would love to hear what someone better versed in biology has to say about this though 🤔
That being said, really cool guest! I hope you have her on again and ask her to bring her duck pearl 🤗 and of course you already know that thank goodness rebeccah rescued this channel from natalie lol
