Men wearing pearls? HECK YEAH! Funny they were hesitant about them at first.

Hi Sheri, The truth is that even with crazy wide reaching exposure like that, the ripples are surprisingly tiny. I was expecting a deluge but it's been closer to a mist. Islands will be running a month long pearl contest though so hopefully that will get some energy moving. I will be...

Thanks Mikey and thanks Newberry! I just started a blog there ( http://tinyurl.com/3drnpro ) for anyone who's interested. Thanks for the support!

Thread bump! I missed this pearlnography the first time around. Thanks Douglas, more photos please!

Hi Dave, Most people think that Tahiti is much farther than it is. From LAX it is typically a 7h flight (8h for the return). Once you get there, it's another 1h20 to Ahe then from there to the farm, it's 40 minutes by boat. So from Canada it is all in all kind of a hoof but not really that...

I'm back. Great job on the article Anna. My only feedback would be that the "5 S" system is South Sea Pearl specific. Not sure you specified that? "Shade" might be better translated as teint or ombre instead of couleur and would apply to pearls without a vast color palate like Tahitian pearls.

Great stuff Anna! Thanks for opening our collective eyes to doing things differently with pearls. Off to check that link now... :)

Thanks Pearl Dreams! And thanks Sarah for all the help along the way! :D

About that ten pound margaritifera... While diving in the southern islands I found a live wild specimen that was darn close if it wasn't the full 10lbs. It was living happily in the sand. To measure it underwater I put the hinge against my chest and was amazed to see my left arm circle half...

Ramona, female tourism can go up at any time. It's not a problem, I'm pretty confident the guys won't mind. ;) Caitlin I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know Buck. Who is he please? Thanks Sheri. The bridge has gotten a tad more wobbly but no one sober has fallen in a really long time. :)

Golly :o, thanks so much everyone. First off, thanks to you Jeremy for this forum and this community that you have so artfully crafted. That has been on my mind for a long time but I'm not sure I have taken the time to say it. Caitlin, Blaire, Lisa, Dave, Heidi, Nerida and Sheri thanks very...

Hey Jeremy, Not surprised this didn't miss your pearly radar. :) Laurent Cartier (one of the producers of the vid) came to our farm to shoot that vid. Being a video noob though, he took heaps of footage (mostly interviews) that he couldn't use because of the wind noise. The only usable shots...

Thanks Ramona and thanks Douglas! Douglas I just had a look at your store which I hadn't seen in a long time. The designs are really interesting and the pearl colors are amazing. Kudos right back at ya!

Thanks Blaire and Ramona! Douglas, here is the article but a photo of a photo is not really the best end result. Better than nothing though right? I included the cover of the magazine so that everyone can spot it better.

Hi Douglas, your question is a very good one. We are working on the best strategy moving forward. I originally wanted to only exhibit the work of our resellers but Islands Magazine lit a fire under me to get a store up and running ASAP. I tip my proverbial hat to you because the pearl is my...

Thanks Pattye! You're the best. Like I said on FB, the launch is looking more like a leap but the support from family, friends and total strangers has been really heartwarming. We are taking baby steps and are excited to offer very select pearls. There will be more to come but for now a...

Thanks Douglas!

Hello again everyone. It's been a good last couple of months for our exposure. The latest issue of Islands Magazine has a beautiful spread of pictures from our farm. I wasn't there for it but the photographer Shelly Strazis did a beautiful job in capturing life on our motu.

Sorry I missed this until now. Love the design Kat! Always such a pleasure to see our pearls arrived at their final destination. :)

Hello everyone, Our farm was mentioned in the new New York Times Magazine. Designer Monique Pean of New York came out to the farm last year. Another pic ran in Vogue a couple months back of her trip as well. Here's the link http://tinyurl.com/3oaaruz Unfortunately her work is sold only...
