In the Fall, my bff from college treated me to a sushi lunch so we could catch up. Over lunch she admired my baroque silver/blue akoya set, wishing she had pearls other than "black and white" (Tahitian and WSS). She wished she had golden pearls. I asked her if she was serious, because I knew...

I bought a WSS strand a couple of Ruckuses ago and had asked Hisano to keep an eye out for perfect smooth WSS drops in a white that would match my strand. Shows came and went with Hisano hunting for my perfect pair. This past show VOILA! The pair appeared and Hisano sent me pictures from HK...

Dear Fellow Pearl Lovers -- I am beyond delighted to present glamour shots of my mabes gorgeously set by John at PP!!! I fell in love with Douglas' mabes after seeing Pattye and Caitlin's pictures. In 2013 I emailed Douglas and he picked 4 glorious mabes from his current harvest. I had...

Fellow Pearl Peeps. Wanna join me on a pearl adventure through the eyes of a 4 year old? I am a Pre-K Teacher and will be wearing pearls to school every day this year. I am challenging myself to post a quick shot of whatever pearls I am wearing each day to keep a record of what my pumpkins...

I bought the lovely finestrino pendant during the Ruckus and Hisano made two sets of peridot geode earrings as options to go with the pendant. I chose the longer souffle earrings. Such a lovely and elegant set -- perfect for warm weather!!! I already know what I want next!

Hello fellow pearl lovers! I've rarely been so excited about a piece, never mind a re-worked piece. As some of you know, I bought a 26" 9 to 9.5 mm hanadama strand a couple of years ago. I love that the nacre is .7 mm. However, the length just didn't look right with my clothing and my very...

Just a reminder that there was discussion a few months ago regarding what, precisely, is "orient". I hope the pearl experts attending the Ruckus can show us examples of orient versus overtone this weekend!!!

I'm excited to receive these earrings, which do remind me of European Royalty!

I picked a gorgeous lavender freshwater drop during my visit to PP last month for a little h geode pair of dangle earrings: The plan was to fill the halves with peridot. I liked the idea of lavender and green. Hisano informed me that due to the dark color of the interior of the pearl, the...

I will be visiting PP on February 17th and asked Jeremy and Hisano if they were interested in a live video chat specifically focusing on Hisano's beautiful jewelry. They agreed, and it will be taped for those of you who may not be available when we're chatting and want to view it later. Please...

The question of why more pictures are being posted on PS rather than PG came up in the thread below and I wanted to address the differences in the forums, and hear what others think: https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9413 I discovered PS first when googling something-or-other...

I just spoke with my elderly mother who reported the following three-way telephone conversation between her, my father, and his sister: Mother to Aunt: BAS will be visiting you in LA. Aunt: When? Mother: In June or July. Aunt: Why will she be in LA? Mother: She is going to some pearl...

"Peace and Love and OPI" nail polish matches very nicely with my Tahitian/keshi necklace from PP. The nail polish is metallic lavender/green:

Wishing all Pearl Farmers, Pearl Vendors, and Fellow Pearl Lovers a Happy and Healthy 2014! I had an abundance of beautiful pearl choices for tonight. I chose to wear my graduated triple white metallic necklace, metallic white drops, and metallic souffle ring (all designed/chosen/strung by...

About half a year ago I came across a triple strand of akoyas at Mikimoto which struck me because each strand had a graduated size. The innermost strand had the smallest pearls, the outermost strand had the largest pearls. The graduation was subtle and I found the necklace to be classic and...

I am so excited to have received this one-of-a-kind beautiful pendant! It's my new favorite piece! (A shout out and big thanks to "Lucy and Ethel" -- it was through their live show that I saw John and Angela interviewed. I was then able to work with them in the creation of this pendant.)...
