Wow! What fantastic photos. I very much need a boat on wheels in my pearl world! Have all the fun you can and keep up the great work!

Thank you Jeremy and Hisano for hosting such a great dinner... And thank you Cheryl for doing all the ordering! The food was fantastic. It was a great conversation and Mounir and I really enjoyed ourselves! On to day two!

Wow this is a great thread. ...however it starts out with ***several falsities!**** Japan Kasumi pearls are NOT nucleated with Akoya pearls. They are nucleated with shell nuclei! Referring to them being "plated beads from Japan" is simply an uneducated statement. The skill of these Japanese...

I'm looking forward to dinner as well! Thank you Jeremy and Hisano and travel safe everyone! Cheers, Sarah

Judi, Yes very much looking forward to seeing you too. Last year I didn't get enough time to chat with you. Travel safe wonder woman!

Love it! Antiquity might be a stretch in the description... pretty sure that's how they still drill tiny little keshi pearls in India! A true meditation!

That's fantastic! I think I would ruin it immediately.. but it would be my fave for the first half an hour or so! Thank for posting that! More power to those outrageous designers out there!

I've had my head down preparing for Tucson for weeks now! Feeling very inspired and excited about the show. Please count me in for dinner on Thursday evening.. I had such a great time last year (THANK YOU Jeremy and Hisano). I hope to make it to the Strack lecture, but escaping the booth in...

Sarah.. Those look awesome! I too love the layering with the other chains. Only you could make those SO fashionable! Cheers

Hello Bluelotus, I think you're best bet would be to order three sided steel PEARL DRILL BITS and use those in a small drill, using a small vice to hold the pearl steady. (as it seems buying a pearl drill machine is out of the question for just one project). I recommend using these drill bits...

Pattye.. Yes they aren't really a new invention just that we didn't see so many of them then. The sorting work was much better then.. It's harder for them to retain skilled sorters who really care about the finished product in China these days. Nowadays .. It is so common to find mixed quality...

never been a better time than the present never been a better time than the present Hello ... it's been way too long since I chimed in on Pearl-Guide.. but on my most recent trip to Japan and Hong Kong I found this strand tucked into the back of a safe. It made us laugh ... and left me with...

My darling customer sent me a link to this article... saying it reminded her of me :) blush... I WISH! What great designs. Ohhhh so many ways to play with pearls... so little time! This is my favorite piece: Tasaki Collection by Thakoon Danger freshwater pearl and yellow gold necklace, $2,400...

That's a great design! Simple and elegant.... Very nice work!

That strand is amazing.... I would NOT want to be the person who has to drill it.... Sometimes on those huge pearls the nucleus will become dislodged and rattle around inside making stringing an absolute nightmare... Not to mention the smell that those gorgeous pearls are probably hiding inside...

I love this : " Wear your pearls proudly and often. The wearing of your pearls will enhance your beauty as well as the beauty of the pearls" ! Lovely piece, enjoy it!

Wow! That's amazing! Has anyone seen the Chanel sunglasses with the pearls set on the inside ? They're real pearls.. Which I thought was kind of funny after Coco so famously used faux pearls in everything before.. A sign of the times.. And if anyone here has a pair of those sunglasses they don't...

Hi Dizzie, Yes sorry... we are in the gathering of information and preparing to upload stages of the Jade marketing. Here is a link to a bunch of photos of a few of the pieces http://www.flickr.com/photos/57334749@N07/ Currently trying to decide the best "other" place to list them besides our...

Ha yes he would.. But I'm not you'd want to listen to him rant about it ;) Thanks you guys! I just love these old photos.. So great to have a place to put them up online! Cheers
