Hi all!

I'm in Hokkaido traveling with Hisano for our honeymoon, but had to come on to post this little tidbit.

We made a few fun, colorful pieces for Mrs. Obama last week. They are part of our Pearl Collective designer line. She wore the first necklace on The Daily Show tonight!

had a look but want a close look hahaha, have a nice honeymoon and thank you a lot for the Tahitian pearl dvd, looks like a lot less oysters survive their first graft ordeal than in the dvd's of Jewelmer. Is that true?

 

[jshepherd]

From what I saw, I don't think there is much difference. The second grafts are few and far between. Even when at Paspaley's operation, very few shells were selected for second graft.

OMG!!! Jeremy and Hisano, that is sooooo awesome! Necklace is gorgeous on Michelle, perfect on her and the interview really funny. I love Jon too. Let us know when the other pieces show up!

great, here she is

Tell us about it! That is clearly a designer piece? You designed it?

It's the colorful FW torsade from this page:

That is sooooooo freakin awesome!!!! She's amazing and the pearls look fantastic.

 

[Caitlin]

And what is even more awesome is the topic she is discussing with Jon. How Obama and his close buddies went through high school and college in a pot haze! Now why is he busting those dispensaries? Maybe it is Biden's influence...

What!?! She never said that! Stewart said it was like a Cheech and Chong movie or screenplay, gurgle, not Michelle! Anyway,

Eeeeeeeeeeee, you graced the First Lady's neck! How cool is that? Did you give her a big upgrade on the pearls? Ooooh, sorry, none of my business, but WOW! It's being worn by the First Lady! and I say, it's about time! What took her so long?

I bet she's been wanting your stuff for a while, and finally indulged. I hope she gets a big, beautiful Freshadama set for Christmas!

Eeeeeee! What a Coup!

Wow! The first lady wearing PP! Awesome !!! Bet she's going to want more now! Way to go PP!

 

[Adeline Leigh]

I've always admired her style. So glad she moved on from faux Tom Binns pearls to PP beauties.

 

[Amrita]

Really lovely! Congratulations Jeremy!

 

[SteveM]

Congratulations Jeremy and Hisano!

'PP' might just as aptly stand for 'People's Pearls.' Can you imagine the chagrin Nancy Reagan might have felt if she were discovered wearing a torsade that cost 99 bucks? Very appropriate, and very attractive on the First Lady.

 

[lisa c]

Sooooo... You said you and Hisano made a "few" designer pieces. What else did you make, if you're allowed to tell?

Happy Honeymooning!

I still hope she gets a super-duper set for Christmas.

That necklace looks amazing on her dark skin. Look out; maybe you'll be hiring a bunch of new employees soon and needing to make piles of these necklaces. Congratulations!
