That's awesome. So it basically IS a stone and metal nugget at the same time.

Josh,

I heard that you are going or willing to sell your farm? is it true ?

regards,
Marama

 

[Josh]

Marama, who are you? And why have you never answered that question?
Of course I'm not going to sell Kamoka.

PearlA: Your Kamoka keshis are beyond gorgeous. I would never take them off!

 

[pearlescence]

Josh - phew!

 

[Josh]

Thanks Kathleen!
Wendy, things are tough, no doubt. For years though, I've had twits - I mean people , ask that question. It only hardens my resolve.

Josh, you are all kinds of BOOYA! That's my word o' the year for stickin' it out with style. You rock.

 

[pattye]

AMEN! And very well put, Heidi!

 

[Nerida]

Josh, we know things have been tough for you and your Kamoka family - we are all thinking of you!!

Thanks Nerida and everyone else!
We are optimistic about this coming year though. There are some strong industry signs that we are on the verge of a long awaited pearl drought that could pull us out of the mud in a hurry. It's been about or over two years now that production was drastically decreased by the crumbling of the large industrial farms (those responsible for a big chunk of the total production). When you consider that it takes between a year and a year and a half + to produce a pearl from the moment it was seeded, you can deduce, IMO, that a hole in production is on the horizon. The reason it's not already here is the simple reason that Tahitian wholesalers have been sitting on stock that is still being exported.

Keep going strong, Josh! Best thoughts with you. One day I hope to buy me some of your gorgeous pearls for myself....

 

[Josh]

Thanks Amrita! We sure appreciate the support.

(and the colors are way better in real life)

Nice!! I do like those drops that remind me of bird head with beak (like the one on right).

Ooooh, great design for men. What rock/metal did you use there? It looks kind of volcanic metal mix or meteorite .
Anyway, you inspired me to start thinking again what kind of necklace to make for a 14 years old boy. I wanted to give him something cool with "black" pearl (not just a rope with one pearl hanging) but dropped it as had no good ideas.

Hi all,
Have a look at the interview Josh gave to Marc Choyt of fairjewelry.org during the ethical producer manufacturing meeting at the Tucson Gem Show! Congratulations!

 

[olmander]

It is all about the heart beat....
...thank you Josh, and thank you Jeremy and Mia.

A Kamoka keshi bracelet from PP, which I was stalking for a couple of months and which is finally mine. I love it!
