Wow! It looks fantastic this way!!!

The mystery is solved! BWeaves, I saw you wearing those BBA in some of the other pictures, and had been thinking to myself...that's odd, I could have sworn her strand was a 36 inch rope! So happy to see your purchases (and to hear that you made it to the airport on time. That must have been...

Whoa Kalmen! Those look HUGE (in a perfect way)! Talk about a statement necklace! It's fantastic! Battah, your broach makes the sweetest pendant. I love it with that chain!

Shoot. Looks like something has gone awry (as I'm not able to open them either). Can you try posting them again? (I'm dying to see them...they all sound wonderful!).

Purrhana, How long is your Tahitian rope? It's amazing how different it does look depending on who's wearing it! Ooh, I love your SOC mabes too. I'm desperately trying to convince DH that 1) men do actually attend ruckuses and 2) how much fun it would be to go! The best I've gotten so far...

Oh gosh, all those pearls in one place! That must have been something to experience in person!

I just finished. My only suggestion would be to include more pictures please! Fine vs not so fine specimens maybe of each pearl type, and maybe pictures of the different color variations (maybe along with examples of strong vs not so strong overtone, orient vs none). Maybe even pictures of...

Red, that Figi pearl is killing me! It's fantastic!

Are these more of the large freshwater strands? (Although the one being held looks like WSS)

I did too. Ive enjoyed it so far as well.

I'm pretty sure the smaller pearls are baroque blue akoyas.

Oooh, those are beautiful JP!!! I had admired them too. They look even nicer on you than in the pictures. (and I'm sad not to be able to go to the ruckus too...instead I am stuck doing work reports).

That sounds like a great rule to me!!!

Brava! It's a beautiful thing (both the pearls and the points for feminism). Leopard print shoes too! (I suspect the curtsy takes a LOT of practice to get right - I'd be so nervous I'd fall over)

I think what you quickly realize is what a difference there is between top quality pearls and relatively inexpensive ones, and once you see or own something that is high quality, it makes the less expensive items suffer in comparison. This has made me shift from buying lots of reasonably...

My tastes have just become more expensive. :)

Those are gorgeous! I saw them in the email but they look so much nicer IRL. I hope you have somewhere you can prominently display them!

I don't recall Uber having a tip function (I've only used it in San Francisco though). I assumed that since they are independent contractors that tipping was not expected (hence the no tip option on the app). I too have just thanked people and rated them highly. I like it better than cabs -...

+1 to that. I think it's perfect.

That's exactly what I am finding. When I only had freshwater strands, I wore them all the time. Since buying my WSS strand, I find my freshwater pearls (even the metallic ones) look a bit flat in comparison. It's not just that they are creamier in body colour, it's something about the way the...
