Wow, Josh, - this is indeed a wonder of nature! I hope we will be the lucky ones to benefit from Oli... Our university people (environment department) have already placed a link to your interview on one of their educational sites, which immediately became very popular among students and...

Very nice, Josh, looking forward to read more - and with more photos. I still don't get it: if the wind was coming from the west, why was the eastern part of the atoll affected stronger?

More of Josh's colours (thanks, Sarah!)- sorry, I can not resist, they are just so mesmerising... I can not imagine that it may be EVEN MORE colourful if the cyclone makes a refreshing trigger effect :)

Sven, is it open only to professionals or can anybody visit it? I looked at the site but it is difficult to see how it is organised.

Nora thanks! I was also just looking and thinking that I don't like the second one and should better remove it - off it goes...

OK, I am the next one: a ring with an art-nouveau flavour. In this ring one of the two pearls (the blue or the green one) can be used. The ring itself is to be made of white gold or silver and its body looks tripple. The pearl is surrounded by a narrow line of yellow gold (or is 'embedded' into...

Sheri, the big ones look really impressive! Is it 9mm? In fact I am the odd ball too: I did not dare to buy these new exotics in a fear to destroy the fairy tale of the previous one (oh those big plump ovals with unbelievable colours!)

Cathy, very nice indeed! Don't you have a chance to compare it with the first exotics we got some time ago? is there much difference?

Thanks everybody for good words! I am really enjoying this new piece, although would never think of rearranging it in this way. The chain is in fact much more outspoken than it shows on the photo, and this could be (subconsciously) one of the reasons why I always postponed wearing it in fear of...

This is not about high fashion, rather about an unexpected combination of a kasumi pearl with dark gold. I had for a couple of years a necklace from my jeweler Marcel - red gold multiple chain, which he in some mysterious way turned into dark gold, which looks very stylish and delishiously...

I think what Inge means that most of the European vendors, apart from the European PGers like Sue or Wendy, have quite a different stock. To start with, there are much less European internet vendors than one would expect (still have no explanation for that). As a university researcher, I am...

Nora, they are wonderful! How large are the pearls? Are they Kamokas? I know how difficult it is to catch the luster while photographing shiny pearls... sometimes twenty shots are needed to choose one in the end...

Blair, sorry about the lost earring! Can Marcel and me help you out??? :D

Pattye, I did not realize that 'creoles' is a purely Dutch word for 'hoop' -it's useful to know! :) Thanks everybody for response. I was going to send this to Sarah anyway, and then Blair came forward with this thread, I could not resist.. Although it was not my idea to take over the thread...

Here we are. First the earings. The pearls were wonderful, glowing and colourful. And Marcel, my jeweler, made the best of it, I think. The creoles that carry pearls, are very small and delicate, just around the ear, so that they don't dominate over the pearls but beautifully accentuate it...

Sarah, I will post tomorrow more pictures of what happens with your wonderful pearls. I just got from my jewelrer a gorgeous ring with your large Tahitian keshi pearl, and charming earings with oval Tahitians. Tried to make photos myself now but in the evening light the colours are not in their...

Scallop pearl?

Josh, we also woke up with the same question - tsunami? what about the pearl farmers in the Pacific? What about Josh? Nice to hear that you are not really affected - although the thread is called "...devasted by Tsunami". .. (?) Any information about other farms on Tahiti? Or Cook Islands, or...

Jeremy, why? Does the liquid stink? Or is it just leaking?

How interesting! I was just going to ask a question about it in the PG. I got a very nice Tahitian keshi bracelet, which seems to be much lighter by weight that a similar bracelet with beaded Tahitians. I was thinking if the wight of the bead is essential here. But now I guess these are the...
