Sneak Peek at the new Freshwaters

[CortezPearls]

And their luster is amazing...are these processed in any way??? I guess they are polished, but I would really like to know.

 

[jshepherd]

I'm sure that they have been polished, but the color is completely natural.

As for the luster, the shot below is a pearl we pulled from the shell in Jiangsu. Everything is natural.

Here is a super green pearl that came in the last batch. It could pass for a Tahitian. Unfortunately there is a small ring near the base of the pearl so it isn't going to make the cut. The color is amazing though.

What cut? A little cap on the top and a little tiny band of gold filling the ring around the bottom.....What's not to totally love? Preferably pink gold.....that is a pearl made for rose gold.......sigh

It's a beautiful pearl, but it won't be going into a strand because of the circle. Chenai claimed it when she saw it, though. It is even a lot more green in person than in the photo.

 

[Caitlin]

I am glad to know it is going to such a beauty! Chenai would look great in pink gold. It is perfect for pearls with those colors in it.

I hope we get to see her wearing it this summer!

 

[JBazar]

it's scary how much that looks like a tahitian.

Good for her. I can't resist it either.

I've been away for too long (work, work, work) but am thrilled to come back and see these. Wow!

 

[Nerida]

Nice discussion of your new discoveries Jeremy, but John, even nicer to see you here again!!

 

[GemGeek]

I agree with Nerida. We missed you, John!

 

[jshepherd]

... and just in time for the ruckus ... strands of our new "lovelies" are here today.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Ooh! Will there be some photos...?

 

[Marianne]

Happy!!!!!!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

And, when will they appear on the website for sale?

Will you be sending out an email so we know?

 

[Hanaleimom]

Manut is going to be very busy photographing those strands.

 

[jshepherd]

They are all spread out in the lobby right now (probably a bit too bright to photograph there), and Manut is busy, so here are a couple of non-pro shots.

We're not going to do anything with them yet. They are definitely going to be our "show and tell" for the ruckus. But for now they are just staying put until we decide what to do with them. There are only 74 strands

 

[Pearl Dreams]

They are beautiful!

 

[KarinK]

Do they come with sun glasses?

Ha! That's why I said it was probably too bright for me to shoot them in the lobby. It is almost impossible to make out the colors that way. But I am sure a lot of the ruckusers will be able to take better pictures than me!
