These were mentioned on a recent PG thread and reminded me?..

they were also bought from Jeremy in the summer of 2009

they started as a ?private PP sale? (limited access prior to the public sale)

it was kind of fun, as the pearls on the page were all ?one of a kind??, e.g. they were all made up into either pairs or trifectas, and priced individually. Once the page opened, it was a bit of a scramble, as if you looked too long to make a short-list, when you went back, some would have gone!

can?t remember if there were different grades. All the pearls were undrilled. After a couple of days, the page went public. Not sure if PP have done a sale like that since

anyway, I bought these for BV, and had them set with ?Romance? single-point diamond leverbacks in YG from the PP range

they are 10.5 ? 11.0 mm

Wow, Alex! "Romance" is the right setting for them!

Oh, those are beautiful! My double-strand necklace is supposed to arrive from PP on Monday! Can't wait!

Wish that I was more of a lurker back in the day when PP offered these beauties. Every time I see pictures of them...
 
Wow, romance, pink flowers and humongus metallic FW's. Love'em, love'em. BV is one lucky gal! What a collection...
 
Alex,

Those are so very lovely! The photos say romance, I can imagine the surprise to the lucky gal who gets these earrings during a secluded romantic picnic by the lake, Swans swimming about in the background, flowers & all.

Yes, I am an incurable romantic.

Cheers Ash
 
Such a nice shade, and photographed so artistically against the flower... charming!
 
Thanks everyone

here is a PP photo of the pearls, before they were drilled and set

Ok now, I have no more saliva! You keep me drooling after seeing all those treasures!
 
You sure do know how to pick 'em.
& How to set 'em.
& How to *pic* 'em.

I honestly felt slightly dizzy for a second, they are so strikingly lovely. Thanks for the little buzz.
 
I love the frilly tulip! Heavens! --the last photo from the first post is going to have to be my desktop background for a while! Yum :)
 
Thanks Isabelle, Narcissa, Blaire and Kat

I did have a bit of fun with the picis......

but more importantly, here there are on :rolleyes:
