Michelle Obama loved the piece so much, she asked if she could purchase it. She wore it again on the campaign trail yesterday!

I looked at all 16 slides. I wish we could see a large picture of the pearls. Even the one above is small. One without Mrs.O in them? I really like the piece- for the price? WOW.

Thanks for the link!

This is the actual piece she is wearing. We shot it before sending it to her.

The pearls are commercial quality. Our PR firm wanted us to make some pieces using commercial grade, "fun" pearls for editorials. That's what we were doing in Tucson with you this year, Caitlin!

They usually are very good at figuring out which designer she's wearing, including accessories. PP's name should be out there!

No, it's for our Pearl Collective line. The necklace wouldn't fit into our Pearl Paradise product mix. In the photo posted on June 7th in Mint and Pink she is wearing the necklace and Pearl Collective is credited. Thanks for the link, though. I hadn't seen that photo yet!

This is a great website. Pearl Collective! I love Hisano's designs- her silhouette designs ( love the added bling!!!) and the collection of tiny pearls. I am over klonks- its tiny pearls from now on out!

When I was in the business, I used to sell a lot of micro-macrame combs, barrettes and earrings I made myself- and I even have a bit of thread left- I've got to make one of those macrame bracelets...

I am imagining every variation on Mrs. O's necklace! This one is a winner and can be executed in many variations on size and color. I hope it becomes a best seller.

Did you find what you needed? Or is there a better selection in HK or China?

I just wanted to put this one up. I didn't make it, and it is not in pearls, but I love the idea for pearls...I am going to do one, soon, with shell chunks, but maybe abalone.
