Very nice! To be honest, it's not the knotting that gets me. It's the cutting apart ... My max was 72" with lots of tangling, and I'm not redoing that anytime soon!

What other thread? Do we start a new one to show off? I got this one: http://www.pearlparadise.com/18-inch-AAA-84-101-mm-Baroque-Tahitian-Pearl-Necklace2756.aspx

Skypearl, the greys are AAA tops, not gem, so there is a margin for some surface blemishing. Other than that it's great coloration, luster, everything! I already got some grey AA/AA+ freshies beaded up myself which were really cheap, otherwise I would have gone for a large AAA strand too. I...

Was that the Ferrero Rocher wrapping? LOL

One step at a time. I am sure that is underway but first they have to tackle the problem at hand before further research can be done. It cannot possibly create a bigger problem since the shells will be disposed of anyway, without cleaning the water. In Japan they use waste for land reclamation...

I have to say that I'm a combination of 2 and 3 in varying degrees at different points in time. I stepped in to comment about a thread about someone who thought they had been scammed by a vendor which I thought was inappropriate as from the timeline of events was it was clear that the order was...

I've always strung with doubled threads. I tried 10lb only with 6.5mm pearls and found that to be slightly loose so I double-knotted. I use mostly 20lb test for pearls 7-10mm.

PP is an online store. Unless you made an appointment to go to their vault in Santa Monica, in which case you would have most likely met Mia, Jeremy or another staff member, it is not possible to just randomly look at one of their strands in a storefront. Seriously, do your homework, rehaul...

Do you mean to say you have ordered from PP the exact same strand, chosen AA+ or AAA and only got a AA/AA+ strand? You have to be careful what you are saying here. We have been buying pearls for years on this forum, and PP does not sell AA CFWP retail as far as I know. The luster and shape...

Some suggestions for your website and ebay listing. Skip the flash. Also, more pictures, less words. If I have to scroll down right to the end to look at the pictures, I usually don't bother. You can have a separate FAQ page on ebay rather than put all the educational information there. The...

Some greys are actually variants of lavender. They don't come by often though.

Just refresh the page or clear your cache.

Well, they claim it's $295 so the shipping would still be "worth" it for someone who doesn't know about pearls. What really irks me is the long story about how generous Stauer is.

I'm pretty sure you need the oil to prevent the nacre layers of drying out. They do occur in water naturally. If you moisturise your skin, I don't see it as plastic surgery.

That's #3 actually. #6 would be more a coppery color. I would've loved #5 as well, like a shimmering pool of light with bluish overtones. #2 would probably be a cooler pink closer to bubblegum pink, one of my favs but I prefer more saturation for pendants since I already have a strand in that...

Mine just came too! Very pretty!

May I ask the ETA of the new site? Nothing too specific, just so I know to pay off my credit card prior and have the full limit ready in case I wanted to buy something. Days or weeks would suffice.

I absolutely adore this one!

I heard the show was really quiet, and there are reports 80% of business was lost. How was it, and will you guys be going ahead with the September show?

Very interesting! Love the design! I assume those are all abalone paua pearls?
