Before I knew anything about PG, I googled the online pearl stores and took into consideration its virtual storefront as a reflection of the pearls themselves. Out of all the online pearl stores I ran into, never purchasing pearls online (therefore being somewhat nervous about handing over...

I'm #2 and #3 so I can get all fangirl crazy up in here. I didn't get any tahitians yet. I'm waiting on some pics in natural lighting and deciding whether I should get the lovely monthly special. However, I'd like to say congrats on your quick snatchings! I was fortunate to receive the...

*SIGH* He's married. And married to a woman whose guidebooks I've wanted to purchase! Lonely Planet!!! His photography takes me to another world. His pearls, the same. I adore Josh and wife! What a way to live!!! I need to get there...

AMEN to these points. It's pretty obvious when a vendor uses the forum for advertising despite the creativity that is used in the subject heading. Another technique...bumping a thread to continue "showing pieces" or promoting the seller's wares through other threads in a disingenuous manner...

Why thank you Mikeyy! I will make sure I won't EVER stop keeping you informed of my purchases. I will also make sure that I post photos if someone asks so they get a good sense for how the pearls look in different lighting since professional lighting doesn't show other aspects of a pearl. I...

Ohhh now I understand what you were really getting at when I posted a pic of my blue Akoya studs. :p I'm not one to "promote," simply for the sake of promoting, however if I think the customer service is amazing, and I had a great experience with the product and seller, guess what? I'm most...

Here's the latest set of natural blue akoyas that were on the TPO spring sale page. They have incredible orient and a soft blue overtone. LOVE THEM!~!~!

Hi all! I've been reading and learning SO MUCH from the LBC, I have been able to knot pearls w/ PowerPro with such ease! So one day I was wearing this rope that I knotted and thought to myself how strong and tough it must be since it's on a 20lb test line of PowerPro. I was at work and...

Since I just went on a lusty freshwater shopping spree, I think I'm good in the FW department. I hope TPO comes out with more sales like this (first timer w/ TPO sales) so I'll be able to snatch up one of those exotic pendants that sold out before I had the chance to check out the page! Wish...

That was fun! I didn't think anyone would be up so late posting on the forums. :) Ooh I hope I don't have to buy several lavender hanks to make one necklace...hopefully they'll be as pictured. :) PearlA, thanks for sharing your story and the sentimental significance of the peacock stone...

Thanks for sharing your experience Laurenb. Those are very pretty silvery pearls! I actually snagged these egg shaped grey ones. They match my favorite cosmetic earrings I got from an Ann Taylor outlet - silver egg shaped earrings. I completely agree! Especially when the buyer is very new...

Anyone purchase pearls from this seller? If so, can you share your experience? I already BIN'd a really cheap set of dyed fw silver/grey pearls so we'll see in about a month. Some of the other pearls seem too good to be true but I'm still tempted to see them in person...not really risking a...

Hi PGDesign, Lovely pearls!!! I love your lavender pearls especially! Which seller did you purchase these from? I searched Apex and their lavender pearls seemed a lot lighter/softer than the ones depicted in your photos. :)

I checked the size of the pearls based on a scale in "Stringing" magazine. I was mistaken - they are between 9.5mm and 10mm, not 11mm as I stated earlier.

Where are you seeing this? I don't see the new special. EDIT: Never mind I see it now. Thanks for the heads up!

Thank you for your kind words! LMAO! I wait for the day when I have a full Tahitian strand where I can look down and have bystanders misinterpret what I'm looking at! Hi SashiRatna. I don't mind at all! I wish I had the exact specs with me somewhere (maybe Wendy will be able to help me...

Yes Pearllove! Exactly! I am wearing my baroque akoyas w/ the TPO blue akoyas today and they go SO WELL together! My akoya studs have stronger blue overtones than the baroque necklace which is surprising considering how blue they are. The luster is PHENOMENAL. What kind of blemishes are...

I wanted to share the beauty of these magical Tahitians with all you Josh/Kamoka fans. They have such a strong peacock overtone, I find myself constantly taking them off at work to gaze at them and they never fail to take me to a happy place. :) What I love so much about these studs is the...

My blue akoya studs came today and they are drop dead gorgeous. I also have to say that I REALLY appreciated how quickly TPO shipped my pearls out. I ordered them on Monday and received them today (Wednesday)! I tried to take pics but the pics did no justice so I'll have to wait until the...
