Pattye - That is a great photo of you!

Zowie! Those are so beautiful! Very nice selection of colors in your set.

I see that same slight color difference in the right one, raj.

And Mia looks awesome!

I second the call for wrapping as many times as you can around ones neck, or looser and letting it sling low down at the waist. I'm imaging the drama from a zillion pearls around the neck in a luxe collar. Love the over the shoulder, too - with the right dress, that could be stunning. A la...

I so feel your pain on textbooks. It's a difficult thing to swallow and I've always done better if I can own a book and haul it around instead of checking it out from the library. I've kept most of the literature but sold a lot of the technical ones since they are out of date pretty quickly...

Just lovely - I've gazed at moonstones a lot recently and wondered how they might look in earrings like this. This is a fantastic example!

Thanks for posting this Olga - it got me reading into your original posts about the ring which led to a bunch of other great material here. Plus it's stunning! Beautiful design and simply gorgeous pearl.

It was from the way Jeremy framed the price difference in his earlier post. He later explained that the reason for a "bigger" price change with the circle pearls is due to the larger relative percentage of the tax on a lower-priced item, not from a significant difference in the weight.

I hear you. In general, I feel that way about even the potential for exotics and knew this was coming for awhile...although I wasn't sure precisely what form it would take. Just stunning selections. Now the waiting...and time to keep catching up on everything to distract myself. :)

Sheri - Both of these are so interesting and beautiful. I concur with the other comments on your knitted necklace; great design theme you're working with.

Very nice design and selection of pearls.

Ebay has been playing with their layout and the item # is difficult to find - Sheri's referenced listing is: #350180264407 I'm mostly certain, anyway. :)

Wow - what a great thing for both! Wishing great success to Josh and Jeremy.

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day - and many many happy returns. :)

OMG is right! What a serious beauty. Thanks for sharing. :)

This is a lovely composition - the only other gems that come to mind, for color and dispersion, are garnets: demantoid, tsavorite or mandarin. Size and clarity are issues though. The citrines really are fantastic for the size and clarity you will get. An option for extra sparkle but staying in...

Jeremy - Thank you for this clear rundown on the industry conditions. It's very enlightening, and heartening, to hear about the controls. Good for all of us that pearls aren't tennis shoes...

Sheri - As I catch up around here I am STUNNED by your designs. Really wonderful and wearable. It's no small feat to come up with unusual designs which are also inviting. Even while regal and a gorgeous celebration of the pearls themselves. Your layers of necklaces have inspired me to be a bit...

Hi Mikeyy - Boy do I owe you a message or two. I hope all's well!
