Hi Ruckus friends,
I just sent an invitation letter and directions to the mansion.
Please let me know via email hisano@pearlparadise.com if you are coming to the event and didn't receive the email.
Jeremy and I are looking forward to see you all!
I got out my natural white hanadamas to bring to show and found my light gold akoyas. It make me think about the idea put forward that ivory akoyas do not display as much orient as the white ones, which I argued was not true. So here is my side by side example. These pearls might have qualified for Kinsyoku - they are that good!
The directions sent out were missing some of the directions to the mansion. From CA-1, turn right onto Sunset Boulevard, left onto Los Liones and left again onto Tramonto Drive.
Lovely...and delicious! Best wishes for a wonderful Ruckus. For those of us unable to attend, thank you for posting photos! It's such a treat to see pearls in their natural habitat!
