In this day and age? Running a company that traditional jewelry companies despise? You better believe it!

But we did use targetted keywords in our ad campaigns so that the customers who do randomly find the piece immediately know what it represents.

Yep, smart key word. I immediately picked up the representation and thought, smart! Yeah, I won't use the film name either, unless you want share the profit or pay a royalty.

The other day, my freshadama earrings were delivered and my husband was at home to sign for the parcel. Just that morning I had been complaining that some postman is probably wearing my pearls and they will never arrive .. I was fooling around.

My husband rang me at work later in the afternoon, and said so who's this John Shepherd ? He didn't have to say anymore, I just shrieked with delight !, Its the pearl man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, after hearing the City Strand is on for another month .. I should have answered 'Its the pearl god'.

I'm so pleased the city strand is continuing for another month. To be honest I was going to buy the freshwater strand in AA in July if I couldn't make the June purchase.

I'm a very happy person today knowing the City Strand is continuing !

I forgot to add, I immediately made the connection between the movie, but I thought it was clever. I wanted one before SJP made wore them on the move anyway, I think most women on this forum were lusting pearls before SJP.

I don't think she wears them that well really. Rene Russo, Demi Moore know how to wear pearls.

By the way, who is John Shepherd???

...and Jackie Kennedy with her signature 2 row necklace

Jeremy (John??), the SATC connection is indeed very very clever - I am always impressed by your business "savvy". The strand itself is just so desirable, too!

Sueki - I've seen your "scraggy, ageing neck" before - I don't know what you are worried abou! As my grandmother always said - if you don't have lines on your face, then you haven't smiled enough, cried enough or laughed enough! Anyway - that's why we like the longer strands, too!

THIS is excellent news! Thank you for extending this special.

Maybe "John" is your convenient alter-ego?

[Mervione]

John Shepherd is Jeremy´s and Terry´s long lost brother.

Well this is awkard isn't it

Ha.

Jeremy just happens to be my favourite name in the whole wide world !

Extended offer ... now you're tempting me. Not that I actually wear my ropes very often but the more I look at it the more tempting it seems.

[olmander]

Well... I was pretending too long that I can resist.
Now I DID IT! - I am getting the city strand too.

It's always like that: first you think: 'I don't do it I don't need it I don't do it'. And a day later: 'when does it arrive, I can not wait even one day longer'.

So, JJ (Jeremy John), - it was really provocative of you to extend it...

[Valeria101]

Didn't get the connection with the movie either ... The long strand just stood out as a typical pearly city slicker; no need to think of another justification for the label
