Mervione: You're absolutely right when you say that you can't get these anywhere else. Jeremy spent over six months collecting these. The Freshadama quality are one in ten thousand. These metallic luster pearls are .05% of those I believe.:eek: So if that is correct they might be the...

Lovely storage Sueki, aren't pearls just divinity? barbie

sweet little pearls sweet little pearls They came out so cute! I bet that will become one of those favorite things she wears a lot. barbie PS With any luck she'll think of your business as the place to go when she needs something. Way to go.

Dang Jeremy: Is there anything you can't find out about an oyster? Love the pictures of the akoya shells. Always wondered if there was a difference between the ones used for donor tissue and culturing. Is it like that with mussels and also with SS? Isn't a lot of color about where you place...

Dear Julie: Best to email Jeremy at PP or Josh at Kamoka or maybe Sarah at Kojima Pearls. All of these people drill pearls for a living and would be an invaluable source for experiential information. I think you would drill at least 3 times for a hole that size but don't quote me. Definitely...

There was a woman in a suit walking down the street at lunchtime recently. She had on a graduated strand of golden akoya. 5 to 8mm maybe. They were stunning. I like the new graduation which runs from say 7 to 7.5mm or so. My husband prefers the old style of graduation which would run from 3...

Hmmm. Never thought about eating the plate although I believe Cleopatra was up for eating the pearls.:D

If it doesn't have to be old style pearl diving you might be able to get a decent research project out of the Tahitian pearl farmers like Josh. (Of course there is no one like Josh!) But if you read his blogs you will see that he dives every day to pull up the oysters, does whatever they need...

Could the farmers afford a union? What would be the incentive for them? barbie

So Jeremy, out of 1,600 metric tons: what percentage turns out to be metallic, gem quality? If that is quantifiable?

It is funny how these came to be called 'threads' isn't it? In cases like this the threads really do make up the fabrics of our lives. I love the multicolored fabric being woven here by our pearly family. barbie

Jeremy: Is that Natalie's work? Those pictures are amazing. barbie

Heidi: Nice designs. Encourages thinking outside of the box. barbie

Doug: It is impossible to find words .... Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing, barbie

I like Rice Krispies. I LOOOVE Sea of Cortez Pearls. These pictures are making me really appreciate the one I have even more. barbie

Evil Jeremy can put tons of Tahitians in front of me any day and I will just deal with the effort of sorting through them all. See if I don't. barbie

Great book Jeremy! Love the overall look. I like the conch and gold bracelet. Now that's a signature look. As to the pearl necklace, I like both the bandolere style and the down the back style. My favorite is the triple strand down the back.:D And maybe we should remember that women do...

Wonderful choice of colors.:) Is it heavy?

This is probably heresy but I actually wash my pearls in baby food warm water and a tiny drop of castile soap, rubbing gently with my hands and rinse them in the same warm water. I set them on a towel to dry overnight. Some of the pearls are strung on silk, others on synthetic fibers. The...
