Thanks Keshibelle & Nerida! I do love my husband in his new man-pearl. I do want to send a shoutout to Hisano for putting together my beautiful new strand of Tahitian pearls! She did a fantastic job blending two strands together for me into a glorious 35" strand. It was fun watching her knot...

I'm totally all about the dangle earrings. I always seem to loose the backings of post earrings. I have found that dangle earrings on shepherds hook findings do not drift off your ear if they are weighted properly. If you are going to do larger post earrings, you might look into studs with...

Great Job Pearl Paradise!!

Here are some of the Corte Mabe's that Doug brought. The one on the bottom of the picture is lit up with a UV light. That red flourescence is so cool!

Here are some of the shells that Mike brought for his presentation. I never knew that there were so many different shells used in bead production.

I just wanted to echo my appreciation to all that worked so hard to plan, host, and execute such a fabulous event!! Jeremy, Sheryl, Blaire, Caitlin, & Mike, you guys plan a mean ruckus. Thanks to Jewelmer & Pearl Paradise for being such excellent hosts! And thanks to all the seminar...

Truly a specatcular ring to see in person! Bravo Jeremy!

The safari does sound very glam, but I am very happy with my behind the scenes tour. Maybe I'll get a chance to go back someday.

Great pearls!! I especially love the necklace with ribbon. I do hope you bring it to show & tell at the ruckus!

Great pics!! I was so bummed to miss JCK this year. Thanks for bringing a little Vegas to the guide!

Doug those are just amazing!! I do love that blue one too!

Looks like the Smithsonian Channel will be televising a new documentary on the South Sea Pearl industry. From the looks of the teaser clip they will be showing the Paspaley operations in Broome & Darwin. First showing is Wednesday, June 9th, at 9pm EST. Here's a link to the film clip...

As a retail salesperson, I have never recommend using jewelry as an investment vehicle. Values in the secondary market are never a sure thing. If you want to invest in something precious, I would suggest precious metals more than a strand of fabulous pearls. But even that is tricky, with gold...

Sarah, that strand is breath taking! And that 15mm parcel is quite tempting. Cool pendant Steve! I'm loving all this pearly goodness.

Gorgeous Pearls Sarah! The carving is so mesmerizing. Are they drilled at all? I don't know if I would be able to pick a spot to drill through.

Gorgeous!! I'm sure they will give you so much joy when you wear them.

mmmm...so yummy!! Where did I hide that piggy bank...

Neiman Marcus in Bellevue, WA has a special collection of Cartier pieces on display too. Lot of diamonds but what got me was the 34" strand of South Sea pearls that were 20+ mm and perfectly round. Mmmm... While they aren't my favorite designer either, but what they do do, they do very well.

Josh you are tricky!! I bought it hook, line, & sinker! I guess we're an easy audience since we all dream that pearls like that will happen for friends of ours. ;)

caviar, foie gras, lobster mouse, gold, tahitian pearls.... mmm...all my favorite things!
