My exotics came already!

[Kelly]

Hi everyone:

Holy cow! I ordered them 2 days ago, and my strand of exotics came in the mail today. I'm in Canada too. Wow.

I know you are all wanting a picture, and I've no clue how to do that, so I've got some reading to do, but I'll get one up soon. I was just so excited about them coming - being a pearl virgin and all - that I wanted to tell you. First ever purchase of a strand of pearls.

I asked for deeper colors in cool tones (blues, purples and lavenders) and that is pretty much what they sent with a fair amount of pink in there as well. Not bad for being a sight unseen purchase I must say. I am very picky even though I've not purchased pearls before and I have to say these are just so nice. I'm not too sure of all the terms for characteristics, but they are unblemished and have the nicest reflection and glow. I am seriously impressed. 2 days to Canada? It can take longer to get here in person at times (just kidding).

I know, I know, get the dang picture up. I'm so computer challenged, it's some kind of miracle that I'm writing this, but I will try, I promise. Well two thumbs up to Jeremy S. and his good people at PP. I'm very happy. Thanks for listening everyone...

Its bad enough to have Pearl envy (even of pearls we have not seen yet). Now I have Tourmaline envy too!
Here is my ring, I used to think it was quite a big stone...

LOL! I know what you mean about tourmaline envy!!

Those slabs were about 2 feet high.
