Thank you, Cathy! Paypal won't help, time passed. Yes, maybe some of it true. One thing is not true... he has access to his money and could return them to me a long time ago. He did not. Thank you, thank you! Hoping to see you very very soon in Kojima Studio :) :)

Let it be a warning to everybody :(

Thank you, PD! I corrected the Title Here is my transaction with him. Showing it was paid to a business, though no note were attached :(

Thank you, Pattie for your kind words! As I mention above, Paypal cannot help as money were sent to a "friend"... And thank you for pointing out my misspelling of his ebay store name! I wish I could correct it in the Subject line as well.

Thank you for your support, Douglas! That is my main hope and goal. I would not be here with this thread if I'd known any other way of how to bring his attention to this shameful situation and be a decent human being and do the right thing.... :(

I wish, PD! Would've done it ages ago! But I sent him money directly (as "Family and Friends") as I'd done that before with many our trusted pearl vendors, as I had done it with him before and never had trouble. Until I did.

At that point I asked my dear friend and a very highly respected member of a Pearl Community for an advice, as we talked about that situation and I was given his email address, so I wrote to him AGAIN and warned him I am going to alert P-G community of his business practice. He responded...

So I sent him money at the beginning of February 2020. ( I have PP transaction as evidence to show). Within a month he found nothing for me. And then, of course, covid hit. I wrote to him on March 13th. He finally responded in a while... He apologized and disappeared again. I asked him to...

Dear PG friends, With heavy heart but with encouragement from the very senior members of P-G and Pearl Community as whole, I am writing this post. I want to tell my experience and warn you against dealing with one well known individual some of us may have dealt with before or dealing with now...

Thank you Dear C! :) Miss you very mush and wish you would come our way very very soon! :o

And I did photograph my Seven Seas on a model (aka my DIL) :).

Oh thank you, Lilpearl :) I've added quite a few more lately. Here is the latest creation from Kojima (a similar one is coming to their website soon!). Perfect Tahitian drops from Taha'a island.

Miss it too! We talked about BN's pearls just yesterday with Sarah at Kojima studio. Miss you all, actually. It is THAT time of year... Pearls Weekend... sigh..

Thank you, Ladies! I will try to post more often I definitely have something to share. Pattie can attest I keep a pretty substantial pile of Beader's Secret threads and use them :) :rolleyes:

Thank you, Cathy! The idea came at 3 am one (regular) sleepless night and was assembled pretty quickly. Sarah provided the last tough - an amazingly colored CFW and voila!

My latest that I call "The Seven Seas", though technically it is 5 seas, a lake and an undisclosed freshwater body :D All on 3.0-3.5 mm baby Akoya chain. Left to right: SOC, WSS, Kasumi, GSS, Tahitian, blue Akoya, CFW with a nucleus.

Another mix strand Tiny onyx beads (2 mm), Tahitian drops/semi-baroques and 14K white gold.

Hello, Pearl People! Some more of my recent creations.... Baby Akoya (3.0-3.5mm), light colored Tahitians, shiny CFW and 14K/18K gold

Thank you, Ladies! Let's hope we will meet again much sooner than later, all in good health and with lots of new pearls to share and admire! In the meanwhile let me to continue to entertain you. Nice strand of 8.0-8.5 mm Akoya with a removable 18K WG 17.5 mm Tahitian pendant

I consoled myself with a long strand of Mastoloni pearls but frankly... nothing is as coveted as a great strand of ombre pearls for me. Soon. Maybe :o Mastoloni Tahitians prom 8.0 mm to 17.5 mm. Fun!
