Thank you Red for sharing these photos.

Hisano's creations are so gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the pictures Newberry.

If you decide to go to Napa I would recommend Mustard Grill restaurant. Book ahead. One of Inglenook Winery tour walks you to a small part of their vineyard. Most wineries have tasting only, without vineyard tour. Inglenook (own by the Coppola family) also has a display of the Tucker 48. There...

If you are going straight to the ruckus and returning home right after you should be OK. Put everything in your carry-on bag (DO NOT check them in at the airport). If you plan to stay in CA before or after the ruckus there may be a problem of storing them in your hotel. Some people do not trust...

Thank you Hisano and Jeremy for hosting this annual event. We regrettably won't be able to attend due to pending Boston business trip (and side trip to NY for Les Miserables, yay).

Regarding the group shopping list, do keep in mind JB has to comply to customs claim limits upon reentry, unless they are shipped by Hunter Pearls.

Congrats JB. I heard the "woohoo" excitement in the background from GemGeek and BAS. You and your family have a great time in Fiji!

JP, it's good to hear everything worked out. I have had some glue come off using Attack, sometimes 1 night, others up to 3 nights. Attack evaporates really fast. It's very noticeable after 1 day. I close the lid really tight and put Attack inside a zip loc bag just like Pearl Dreams. I use a...

Thank you Jeremy and Hisano for purchasing the tickets and giving us a chance. Thanks Blaire for taking the trip to LA to draw a name. We agree to the terms. Happy Holidays to everyone!!! PS: We love taking pictures of pearls.

I've bought a few spools of green at various times and from different local sporting goods companies. In general the green looks the same. But I had one spool with almost very black green and one spool that is brighter green (rather than dark green like I usually get). None of them is as bright...

That's good to know. I've eaten them but didn't know they were farmed goods. And they are not cultured for pearls because they are hemophiliacs? I think I've read it somewhere here in this forum.

You've gotten responses from the experts. From what I've seen abalone is extremely expensive because they are not cultured.

I think Jeremy was referring to this "Loot" https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2379&highlight=loot https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=710

Thank you for sharing Sarah. The bay looks so calm and inviting. You look stylish harvesting pearls (earrings, hat, colorful top), although it's a "messy business" . :D

Great job. You did great going the ombre route. It's a beautiful piece. Good job knotting your first project. What color is your thread?

pearley, I suspect you've had "desk dives" while working? If I wear my bracelet on my right wrist I use the wrist pad (the beany type to prevent carpal tunnel) to protect the pearls from scratching the desk. I also do not stack pearl bracelet with watches or other metal bracelets just as a...

Mikeyy's treasure chest.
