So, Mrsz, are those Japan Kasumi from Sarah!!!! Wha-hoo. Whatever, they are beautiful. I just brought back a stash to work with. I am so anxious, if i tw4eren't for jet lag, I would be in my studio now...

Seriously, these have got to be the black market Tahitians. Now you know why you shouldn't buy black market-anything!

I think Jeremy is glad he had a manicure or at least nicely taken care of nails!

In this photo, you can really see the peeling, lack of nacre, and lack of anything to call these objects pearls

These are the no-nacre, bead nucleus showing, half pearl "Tahitians". Still refuse to call them pearls...

Ok, I think I finally found out how to post pictures here. These are the god-awful mud "Tahitians". I have to use quotes, because I can't in good conscience even call them pearls!

I was able to purchase some souffle pairs for earrings, but Jack Lynch of Seahunt is going to graciously drill them for me. We were cautioned that anyone who drilled them might want to wear a mask because of the incredibly noxious smell from dead-mud... So, I'm letting Jack do that. I will...

Do you want to meet at El Charro? Or, I'm dining at Milano at 8pm if you want to join me.

Steve, That is almost as magnificent as seeing the real thing. I was so honored to have been able to see them. They are, indeed, jaw dropping. Did you get a chance to have Robert Wheldon photograph them? That would be a spectacular accomplishment. I think you and your collection are headed...

Caitlin, Blaire, Are you still here? It's almost time for beer, wine, margaritas, and scotch. I could show what i got from Sarah and Fuji. You will be drooling so much you won't be able to finish your tequila shots! I spent almost all afternoon there yesterday. I promise to post pictures...

They brought tears to my eyes. Speaking of "Tears"...but we know all about that.

I posted some pictures of our (Jeremy, Caitlin, and Heather) Tahitians "finds" from my phone in my albums. I'll eventually figure out how to get them here, but these were astoundingly, scum of the earth, ugly and disfigured organic misrepresentations of our beloved Tahitian pearl. It was...
