Thank you, Cees. I will try to get in contact when I am in Bangkok. Do you have any contact info? Name of Farm or distributor?

Thank you, Cees. It, certainly, will be an interesting quest. Is the harvesting usually in October?

I will be back in Bangkok and Vietnam this fall. I will be very interested to see what is available.

Where are you seeing them in Bangkok? At the Jewelry Trade Center or "on the street"?

Thank you, Paresh, as well, but a few more questions. What size pearls did you receive? What farm did they come from or what distributor? Have you been receiving Vietnamese pearls on a regular basis?

I am so curious about the current state of Vietnamese Akoya pearls, too. There seems like so much potential there. I am hoping that they have been able to maintain the nacre thickness. Going through as much information as possible on the web, there doesn't seem to be much current info out...

Are we any closer to this year's photos???? Your pearls are breathtaking.

Caitlin, Thanks for the thoughts. Yes, I am still working in multiple gem pearl pieces. Have very recently started doing inverted gemstone installations into my pearls. I am terribly excited to see some new pearls from Sarah at Kojima. Tequila anyone?

I will be in Tucson...provided all the rest of my flights are aligned with the stars. Jeremy, are you going to make it to Tucson. We have some investigative work to catch up on about phony SS pearls. It's going to be a little chilly this year, but, hey, I just left Vermont at below zero temps...

A little disappointed that there is no consideration for having taken the previous courses. I'm sure three is loads of wonderful new material, but it's fairly expensive for an update. What do you think?

Cheez! This sounds so fabulous that I can't believe it hasn't received a complete sign on! I know the thread is a little out--dated at this point, but if I can open it up again, I would be so thrilled!

How much was he charging for the Kasumi-like pearls? Where were they from? They do look so much like Sarah's pearls.

I like the pearls hanging from the inside of her hat. I never thought of that! And wit organdy too.
