Jaw dropping rope

[Lady_Disdain]

I know I haven't been around (for a variety of reasons, interacting with people has become really, really hard) but I hope this will earn me a little forgiveness.

Holy Cow...that is jaw dropping all right. Kojima had a color gradient necklace somewhat like this and it sold immediately. That is so very special and unique!

PS - no, not mine (unfortunately). Just eye candy.

Wow, that is yummy! Thanks for sharing, Lady_D; I agree, life gets in the way sometimes. Always good to "see" you!

Hey Ladies, This actually IS Sarah's tahitian ombre rope!!! I compared the two pictures and it is exactly the same.

Looks like someone "curated" this rope from Sarah and is attempting to flip it!!!
Not sure how I feel about this...

Lady_D!!! lovely seeing you here!

Gorgeous rope...also saw Sarah's post on Instagram.

Oh, I remember Sarah sold such a rope a few years ago. The proud owner is Cathybear, a member here. When I saw this rope here first I thought it was Cathybear's.

This is the new rope from Kojima. I had e-mailed Sarah about it, but I hemmed and hawed and it sold right away to someone else. That's when I jumped on Sarah's Tahitian keshi tin-cup before it went, too.

I know this rope was around $5000. So the flipper wants $11,885 for it? Hum.

It's a beautiful necklace! Good to see you again LadyD!

Oh man that's before my time on PG - so curious to see what that strand look like!

This is the Grace rope we saw when we went to Kojima last year.

Drooooooooool!

Wow incredible! I see the web ad is by a jewelry store in Berkeley CA.

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Ha! When I posted this, I was betting someone here would know all about that rope.

 

[mrsadm]

The web sie also says "new necklace" and 2017 as "date of manufacture". My iPad mini cannot see the price or most of the pictures.

I notice a long baroque or keshi silver pearl in this rope, that I do not see in the one for sale. But this is not the Sarah one, correct?

 

[lilliefuzzysocks]

No this one had lots of baroque pearls the one in the photo above did not have. It sold right after we posted the photos on this forum and did the write up of our trip. https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?10470-Road-trip-to-Kojima-Pearls

Always glad to see you Beatriz

The Grace rope was sold to Mermaid's Trove last year, so not the same rope as the one CathyBear got I presume.
