Exotics!!!

"There iiiiis a house in Los Angeles,
It's caaaalled Pearl Paaaradise.
It's been woo-in many a previously casual pearl consumer,
And now, we know, you're one."

HOOT! There went my lemonade, right up and then out of my nose!

I was actually dreaming about these exotics last night. I was dreaming that Jeremy made lots of strands of these big ones, despite him saying they wont, and everything was really strange.

For example some of the colours looked as though they were dyed but they were all natural!

How about just one or two strands of 11 to 13.5 mm...?

I think the pairs and sets in the 11 mm range are just too large. But in a strand they would really be something else.

 

[Mervione]

I can totally understand why it's not possible to make strands out of these pearls and offer on the web site, but my dreams really have a life of their own...

I think the pendants in this size are great, but I agree with you otherwise, I think they would be too big on most people's ears.

Oh, yes!!!

I think the pairs and sets in the 11 mm range are just too large.

No, I like the large size, was thinking how great the earrings would be on those leverback findings-------------

Did you all see PP's monthly special? Here's the link: http://www.pearlparadise.com/105110-mm-Exotic-Freshwater-Pearl-Pendant3034.aspx

PP is offering an exotic freshwaters in a pendant for $155. I'm seriously thinking about taking the plunge. The earrings are too big for me, but a pendant seems perfect. Now only to decide between copper-gold or copper-pink. I keep looking at the picture and can't make up my mind.

 

[jshepherd]

These go from 11 to 13.5 mm in the center.

Too big for most people's ears??? No way! HOWEVER....I had mine put on the shepherd hooks so that they dangle. Honestly, the idea of banging ANY sized pearl with the phone when I answer it, is just torture - it's why I don't have any studs. Dangles ladies, that's the ticket! And they don't dangle very far, but you don't bang them with the phone, and when they move, they catch the eye better anyway.

And Jeremy-Satan - nix it with the pearl ****. Pictures like that should NOT be allowed among decent folk. ;-)

Pearlcat - I have the copper gold, (or at least I think I do), and it really is very gold more than copper. A bit lighter than the pics showed. In any case, these pearls are just so incredibly gorgeous, I don't think you can go wrong no matter what.

The blanked out word (who knew?) in my previous post was merely to say pearl P * o * r * n. I didn't realize the mere word was verboten. It WAS intended as a joke, in case anyone has any question.

 

[Caitlin]

That is an automatic part of the programming. It's programmed to make certain words into stars. The admins do not do this at all. In fact I thought the alliteration was cool. I totally understand how you feel when you get your pearl l_ust going!

My earrings are huge, but they are fine when worn for several hours. I have the big flat discs on the back and they distribute the weight,

 

[jshepherd]

Yes, that is one of the words that the system will nix. That and ****, ****, ****** and a lot of others! It helps keep out the spam bots!

 

[ksinger3]

Well Jeremy, you seem as nonchalant and unrepentant as I suspected you would be. And I'm so far down the primrose path, that I was louping my earrings tonight. (Sad...) The surface at 10x is so flawless as to make a Freshadama look common, when we know they aren't.

I'm hopeless...I loupe everything. ;-)

 

[Hanaleimom]

I'm hopeless...I loupe everything. ;-)

LOL. Are we pearl sisters?

Can we see pics please, please? I can't believe that only 1 member posted pics so far. Neck shots and ear shots.

 

[GemGeek]

I just can't wait! I made them go behind the counter and check the boxes, but not yet.

 

[Mervione]

I think it's funny as well when things get censored! Is that bad of me?

Me and my friends used to have lots of fun playing an online game typing out different words seeing if they'd come out censored, words like "Saturday" and "Paris" were censored! Even jew...

 

[GemGeek]

Okay, here are my new pearls!



Of course, the photo doesn't do them justice. Poor Jeremy spent over a week separating my findings from some other pearls so I could use them for the exotics! Thanks Jeremy!!!

 

[GemGeek]

Oh, lavenders with rose gold!

 

[claudenancy]

"Eat with a spoon" yummy--what a great idea to use the rose gold!

 

[SpaceNeedle]

GemGeek...Very pretty earrings. The color is quite strong and saturated. Congratulations
