Really appreciate the pearls of wisdom you've offered here.

I didn't know any of this about pearls. Such great tips Matt! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

My granny gave me her everyday choker before she passed away,and I was going to sell them for a nice chunk of change,until one day I wore them for fun,and I realized I couldn't.I would never be able to have ANYTHING that she wore again. So real (I'm sure they are) or fake...it doesn't matter...they belonged to Annie...and when I wear them...I can feel her.There is no money that can replace that

I love freshwater and irregular pearls too! They are so unique

I would love it if you devoted a video to baroque pearls, my favourite. I enjoy you concise, clear commentary.

I am a Pearl lover ever since I was younger. In fact, until now , I consider myself an ultimate Pearl lover. I love it even more than my diamonds.

LOVE pearls. Own dozens of them in all sizes, colors and shapes! I use a pair of 12mm freshwater earrings that are irregular shaped (with a fish hook post) as an enhancer for several other semi-precious bead necklaces I have. I especially like to use the earrings (one at a time) as an enhancer on my 15mm tigers-eye choker and also my 15mm black lava rock necklace too. I get LOTS of compliments every time I wear them together that way!!

Mabe pearls are what I’ve collected of late. Fastened in earrings they’re stunning! I bought a silver set with necklace and earrings with peacock colorations for an amazingly reasonable price. Baroque are also stunning made into necklace.

Thank you so very much for those wonderful info.

Good to know! I never knew any of that before. thanks!

What fabulous information about pearls. Cheers to Matt

Your love of pearls is infectious.

Thanks for this video! You've been a big help

So informative. I have learned a lot. Thank you.

I agree with your statement about funky and slightly different pearls. In some cases you get more use out of them than the standard strand of round pearls. The round ones tend to be very formal and people don't necessarily where is much formal clothing these days an oblong Pearl or a different shape or something a little more interesting is more likely be worn with jeans and a cotton shirt. I love the flat coin pearls they have like different little divots and shapes in them and they're so interesting and beautiful and they just shine and go with everything

Thank you...really informative, much appreciated. I have always loved pearls but its taken until nearly my 5th decade to really embrace wearing pearls more and in different styles and varieties. Loving that pearls are now in fashion more and worn by all ages.

Loved this video, your information is priceless! I love the traditional look, but after watching your video, I will be searching out funky, unusual and fun pearls. I love the thrill of the hunt, thanks so much for sharing your love for pearls! 😊❤

Great advice, Matt. Thank you!

How informative this was. Thank you.

Very informative. Thank you 😊. Bedsides pretty, getting a good stringing and knotting enhanced the pearl as well. I love my and wore my ugly (baroque) pearls the most. Each pearl has its own characteristics and personality which made it more interesting.

Appreciate listening to your extensive knowledge on pearls Mr. Harris. Yes, Pearls ARE BEAUTIFUL! Thank You.

Thoroughly interesting and informative.. thank you. I’ll watch your other videos. love your black one.

Thank you!

Thank you, very informative.

How lovely, thank you

Love pearls! Thanks so much for the info! Had to subscribe!👏👏👍😊

Great information Matt! I never knew all this about pearls and I love my Mom's pearls.

Thank you so much. That was really informative

'Love the comments about pearls with personality. Thanks for all your wisdom.

This was great and I learned a lot. Thanks!

Very good explanation

Brilliant information...thank you, Matt...and enjoyed your conversation with Jordan last night!!! 💗💗💗

here in the philippines,we have this place where muslim women sell their products- pearls..I enjoy window shopping & shopping pearls in this place..The pearls in the philippines are something we filipinos are proud of

A strand of pearls can never be too much ❤

Great video! Thank you

Thank you. Very helpful.

I love darker colored pearls and especially love YOUR necklace!

Thanks ❤

Great info! I’ve loved pearls since I realized they are not all small, white and round! Lol

Great teacher!

Thank you very much

Very helpful video - finally concise information that answers some questions about pearls! One thing you didn't mention about freshwater pearls is about the different colors that are available, I assume because they are dyed (what about "black" freshwater pearls, are they dyed?). The dying doesn't seem to affect the "tooth test", so wondering why that would be? Also, what is a Majorica pearl? I recently purchased some freshwater pearls that are really shiny and the seller said they had a coating on them. They still pass the tooth test. And, one of my jewelry suppliers, Rio Grande findings, sells a type of coating for pearls, which is super expensive and toxic, but maybe some jewelry makers use it to make blemished pearls look more perfect?

Thank you for a great, informative video. I’m currently thinking of buying some beautiful Edison pearls and I would LOVE to see a video from you about them 🙏🏼✨

Great video,love from France 🇫🇷

thank you Matt Boroque pearls are my favorite

Wow, who knew? So much great information! Thinking of the one's my mom gave me. She said a lady always needs a good set of pearls :)

Such good information for beginning a search. For me, using only an experienced GIA jeweler provides a little extra confidence. Thanks for this video; I’m looking forward to more.

great video, thanks!

I have just ordered my very first tahitian pearl earrings and I'm very excited to wear them❤️☺️

new subscriber. Would you please give advice on whom to trust to restring pearls? I adore pearls and have several strands that need to be restrung. Thank you for any advice or help. Cheers!

I would love to hear more about the Edison pearls!

Great video!

I want to thank you for your information as a reseller. I always try to make sure that I know the items that I'm selling and make sure they're verified and pearls are some of the hardest ones. To verify and I have learned so much from you. Thank you and have a blessed day can't wait for your next video

Thanks

Matt! This popped up in my feed today. Hello from Hoi An, Vietnam.

LOVE the bracelet, then necklace at around 5:17 Regarding clasps, most of the older ones in my family have had an oval filagree type clasp with a U-shaped connector piece. Think they are usually sterling?? It used to make me think that the pearls were "real", but a strand of my grandmother's that I've had for 50 years self destructed just sitting in the safe.They were sticky and peeling. I threw them away but clasp still looked good.

Thank you for giving us this information. If you see this note, could you talk about shell pearls? I would love to know more about them.

Great info! My favorites are baroques in exotic colors. Can you tell us more about Edison pearls?

Thank you for such an informative video. I would like to know whether it is worth to purchase Mikimoto pearl if one happens to be in Japan?

I have the ones from Japan/antique with an almost Angel skin Color and a choker of black Tahitian baroque pearls that are to die for😊

I adore pearls. My one friend's son who's very smart told me" if you look Pearl so much do you know what they are", to which I responded" oysters spit". He said"ok, as long as you know". I call them "affordable elegance", though they used to be insanely expensive before Pearl culturing.

Thank You For This Amazing Video. I would like a strand of freshwater black pearls between the size of a BB and a pea about 22 inches long. What would I be looking at paying for this type of order? Please? I would like it for daily wear.

Thank you - this was very interesting. How are keshi pearls produced please? ⚪

Thank you. The only think I knew about pearls before was not to cast them before swine.

I buy Pearl earings , rings and pendant Pearl , and bracelet Pearl In Broome Western Australia the are good Pearl not fake

Thanks for the great info! I have a question.....I inherited both my Grandmothers pearls, they both seem to have a yellowish tone which I don't remember seeing when they wore them. Is it true if you don't wear them they will turn yellow?

Great tips. I have always wanted a pearl necklace and a matching bracelet but as you mentioned I had no idea how to identify a real one from a fake one. One time in a local superstore a bought a couple of them for -end of school year gift for my children teacher. When they told me they were $29 each I guess I assumed they were not real, but yet they were pretty.Do you sell pearls, I mean do you have a jewelry store? I am not rich but would love to have a necklace and bracelet. Let me know with a message if you can. Thanks!

Can you please describe Queen Elisabeth pearls necklaces. What lenght are they, and what size pearls are they also. Merci

How should pearls be stored, does it matter if they are more open to air or wrapped up tightly, or does it even matter ( especially in regards to discoloration)

7:02 Could you say they were full of... pearlsonality? 😉 Great video! Easily the most informative video I've come across trying to learn about pearls.

Cheers, mate, may I take your precious time and ask you a question, please? Is it OK to wear a string of pearl along with a silver chain necklace or will the silver hurt and damage the pearls? Thanks so much in advance for your kind reply.

Is there a safe way to bring back the whiteness of a pearl that has yellowed with age? Also, is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Thank you! My uncle sent me a necklace of pearls for my daughter. We were both born in June as was my granddaughter, with pearl as our birth "gem". Unfortunately none of us really care for Pearls. Not because they aren't pretty but more just don't fit our lifestyle(no place to wear them). Trying to learn a few things before taking them to the jewelers to sell.

I have an old strand of pearls that belonged to my Grandmother and need to get them restrung. Any advise on where to go, how much it might cost and any other tips?

I purchased a silk bag of pearls many yrs ago. They seem of good quality. The question is they have some weight to them. Does this pertain to where the pearls came from or the quality of the pearls?

My favorite pearls are what I thought were called "biwa pearls". I know it sounds silly but I think they look like adorable Rice Krispies. Now I realize they're "fresh water pearls" .... right? My strand passes the tooth test! Yay! 💕💗💕Thank you for your advice, Matt! 💕💗💕

@Matt Harris, I recently inherited a gorgeous pink pearl necklace. It passes the weight, tooth, and coolness....I'm terrified to attempt to sell them not knowing or knowing whom to trust?! Help

Please talk about the difference between edison pearl and south sea pearl❤❤

Over the 42 years of marriage, my geologist husband has bought me many pieces of pearl jewelry. I've not really thought to inquire about it but I'm wondering now what my "baroque" 3-stranded pearl choker is, fresh water or salt sea. It was purchased at a reputable jewelry store but there was no information give, just "baroque". Can you add to this information?

My mother gave me a strand of "cultured" pearls from muscles so they are greyish blue in colour. Very nice. What is the comparison between natural and cultured pearls, please? I've been told that natural pearls are hard to come by these days. Is that true please?

I have faith in my pearls (necklace, earrings). They are Mikimoto! ❤

Mr. Harris thank you for the info ...I got a pearl as white as milk...shaped like a clam and big as your palm... I put my pearl against the light of a candle and I can see the light thru it because my pearl is so smooth.... May I know if it is valuable? How can I sell it... Thanks for the help....

Well, I'm a little upset at myself now...🙃 now I'm pretty sure that this garage sale I went to had some real pearls but because I didn't know much back then before cell phones I passed them up because they were gritty I was holding them for a little bit trying to sign if I wanted them I thought they were fake because you were heavy I thought they were fake because they were gritty. Well, live and learn🤷🏼‍♀️

I heard pearls peel off..I don't know when this happens, if it is normal, what can happen/ value loss and eventually how to prevent/avoid this.. Hope you Will reply to me sir! Thanks!!

I want to know the difference between a pearl made from a natural irritant and an inserted irritant (beads)

What is the typical price to restring pearls?

Would you recommend the best reliable ONLINE STORE pls?

How are pearls dyed? I have seen pinks and blues.

Is there real pearls that are star shaped ?

What about buying them in a department store

Is there a way to tell the age of a strand of pearls ..

I love my pearls. My grandmother gave me her strand for my wedding and it is stunning. Since then, I have acquired South Sea pearls, Tahitian pearls and my grandmother's are Akoya pearls.

Have you ever noticed that pearls are always cold to the touch? I was told once that they always retain the temperature of the water they were grown in, (when in your jewelry box) and that's how you know they are real? Is that true?

I have tahitian pearl necklace where i sell it?

Peace Lead

I adore the Texture & "flaws" of fresh water I have both a "Mutant " Fresh water and tidy string of Black/ purple salt. I call my pearls The tears of my enemies 😎☕💋

Can glass pearls feel gritty? Like real pearls?

Dream
