i hope this is not an inappropriate question...how much would this set sell for on the retail level?

Beyond Amazing! Such attention to detail! Sheer Perfection! I wish I could see her face when she received these!! I wish I could see the pearls IRL for that matter!!

I just received a copy of the new Renee Newman 5th edition of Pearl Buying Guide at the Vegas show. The picture of the hanadama pearls is on page 52! It really pops in that photo!

Thanks for letting us know that Newman has the new edition out! I placed my order for a copy.

Thanks for letting us know that Newman has the new edition out! I placed my order for a copy.

Did you pre-order it? Amazon's copy cannot be shipped yet, only pre-order. Same with Barnes and Noble.

I followed through the checkout steps on amazon without actually paying; and it showed estimated ship date of July 6.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Just before I ordered, Amazon said "1 copy available".
After I had completed my order, it said "Available for preorder."

My confirmation email says shipping date approx. June 10th.

We'll see!

Edit: Newman's website says "available June 2010.:

Renee had the first copies with her for a book signing in Las Vegas at the JCK show. Hot off the press!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Follow-up: Amazon emailed that my copy has been shipped.

Edit:
Book arrived last week. Love the photos, including GemGeek's! So good to see all the updated information on pearls-- a wonderful overview of the wide range of pearls that are available today.

Hi, I wanted to give the new kids a thrill, and ok, was knocked out all over again myself...Whoa!

Thank you for bumping this thread, Lisa. These are absolutely jaw dropping.

You're very welcome and I can definitely say it's a pleasure.

I wonder if there's a way to import the pic right to the post? PP has the copyright; I don't know if that would be a help or a hindrance. Shouldn't think it'd have to stay over in Flicker, but don't know.

How fun to have another look at these gorgeous pearls; Newman's book, if you don't already have it, is a bargain at around $20. Mark page 52 for repeated viewing!

A number of members here furnished photos in addition to Jeremy, so be sure to check out the credits.
