Pattye, I just got them in and considering to buy them, my market is mostly Northern Europe, but I stay most of the time of the year in Bangkok, because I found out that moist nice strands are already sold before the Fairs start, so that is better for me than running around on Fairs and seing traders snatching strands and loose pearls out of each others hands hahahaha. But they can be mailed anywhere. The pearls in these strands cam out of a lot of 7 kan = 7ooo momme (1 momme is 3,75 grams) rom Rikitea, Tahiti.
