Does Fred get worn to work or events?

Wondering about the needle gauge that should be used. What do you recommend? :-)

Yummy and delicious they are - I love the subtle golden and rose hues...

Hi Wayne, I agree that the top-of-the line Mikimoto Akoya pearls (they have their own grading system, so I am talking about their top grade) is amazing, and has an even better, more iridescent luster, than the AAA Akoya pearls I sell -- which I think are quite gorgeous. I have seen Mikimoto's...

Jeremy, The brides in Massachusetts favor champagne in wedding shoes and dresses, and they all went crazy over a natural-color gloden Akoya lariat I brought to a wedding show this fall. The golden Akoyas in your picture are gorgeous, and fascinating to women here -- I could move them and I...

Me, too. I have been making simple earrings, but have not tried my hand at necklaces. Do you use an instruction book, or take classes?

Thanks for friending me! I make some of the simpler designs, such as freshwater drop earrings. It's fun - do you make jewelry?

Wow, the flower must like the calcium. A very pretty growing medium - could start a new trend!

An amazing journey, Jeremy...

Glad the Kamoka Farm is safe. I feel so sorry for those on the Samoas and in Indonesia. Any word on how pearl farming has fared there recently?

Hey, thanks! Busy, but having fun. Sales keep moving steadily forward though most are not as large as I'd like. Things are tough for everyone, I know. BTW, I love your avatar. Do you make the cuddly stuffed oysters?

Thanks, Nora. What do you do for a living?
