Wow, what a find. I wish I could see them, wherever they will be offered to the public for viewing. I bet they go for more, maybe much more than the estimate. I think there are a lot of people who are fascinated by Marie Antoinette, and to own such a special piece would truly be remarkable...

Well, I do have a habit of reading these at 1am or later, so my reading comprehension drops dramatically. lol It actually made sense the first tme I read it.:o

Wow, confusing post. Do you mean the second grafts go for twice the first graft?

Wow, I totally forgot all about that necklace. I want to know what happened too!!

OMG stands for "Oh my God", just to show her shock at a Melo pearl. I kinda feel sorry for you jumping into this. :) Some of the experts on here should be around soon to offer some advice on value. I know Jeremy Shepherd sells exoctic natural pearls, so he may be helpful. Personally, I...

Man, for pearls like that, does anyone else think Fred was drastically overpaid?:D

Wow, brilliant! What a wonderful idea. I hope it draws a lot of media attention so that all the agencies that could use the pearls for fundraising will know about it. Should I run into any organization here, I will be sure to refer them to you. Well done, indeed.

I don't think I have ever seen chalky looking pearls in person, just in some bad internet photos from some shady companies. :mad: Now, I have seen some freshwaters here in Japan that seemed like seed pearls. They were fashioned into a multi-strand torsade, and it was an exquisite aged-ivory...

Hi Jeremy, It is always so interesting reading your posts, so I am always glad whenI see you on. I am really looking forward to your alumni tour review. About the treatments to freshwater, how much change can we expect as the treatments wear off? I have only purchased freshwaters from you...

Too funny, Knotty. Too bad I don't have any good comments that I can remember.

Hi Blaire, What fantastic photos you got, and your Eyris Blue pearl shows really well on you, It must be amazing in person. Glad to see you must have had an amazing time. The handfuls of pearls must have been hard to put down. :D Can't wait to hear more details. I have to live this...

Hi Raison, Yeah, I saw that they had been added to the freshwater section a week or two ago? But if several strand were taken apart to make yours, I think all others will pale in comparison.

Wow, those look beautiful on you. What a wonderful choice. It makes me wish I had ordered some when I had the chance. But I still enjoy seeing them on you. So, Jeremy, how are the rest of the strands? What is lef tto play with if someone else has a special desire? I think this could be...

Hi Boo, Wow, what a fantastic collection. I also don't wear earrings much, because of the metal allergy I mentioned before. But you really make me aware of what I am missing. Love those Kasumi's..;)

Lol, Knotty, I think I have dropped the thread myself. D'oh! I didn't see that part where you wrote there was a real skull under there. I thought Raison was saying the diamonds were modeled as a skull, but sold somehow differently. lol :o Now I see she was jsut saying no real skull was...

No, the skull was shown on CNN as having gone for 100 million. The diamonds weren't disassembled. That is why I referred people to post 61. I was surprised to see it pop up again on tv after seeing it here months ago. Just goes to show people will buy anything.

LOl...well you never know who bought it. MAybe the brain's owners found this forum and thought "What a great idea.."

THis is from Caitlins post #61. Just an update. I saw on CNN last week this thing sold for $100 million. lol I morbidly want to know who the owner is.

Hello Origami-pearl, Welcome to the forum!! Those baroque Akoyas were a special offer only made to members of this forum. Some of us signed up months ago, but you can always send an email to Jeremy to see if there is still room. Another offer will probably be made rather soon, so you may be...

You know, I am not sure if this has been asked before, but I haven't seen it. What kind of training do these girls undergo? I have seen a few videos that mention rather extensive training, but always in passing. From the speed I have seen sorting done, it must be almost instantaneous...
