As the end of January approaches, I was getting a bit nervous with no offers being made.."Did I miss it" rang frequently through my brain. Yes, let me add my vote for the warning email. Just 24 hours or so will be fine for most people I think. After all, it should be in the next few days or so.

I know someone requested a couple months ago that the strands be limited one to a customer so everyone on the list gets a shot. Is this going into effect? I think it would be a great idea since we all have differnt work schedule and live in different time zones. I know some people were disappointed about missing out on those baroque Akoyas,so this could keep everyone happy. Just a thought.

anxiously awaiting..
Jen

I also feel worried about missing them for some reason. The akoyas went very quickly last time. But I think I remember a warning of some sort last time.
I can't wait to see what these exotics look like. Wish we had more pics.

Hi everyone!

We have really made our best effort to ensure that there is enough for everyone on this list this time. For the past week we have been shootings, reshooting, and trying different merchandising techniques to make sure everyone gets an opportunity. But a lot of them will go fast.

We are starting the exotic drop strands at $38 (finished). So I can pretty much guarantee this will be a good time for everyone.

We will be sending out the prep-email today with the final time of launch. It will either be Monday or Tuesday.

The gem and mineral shows are going great guns here in Tucson. I am sitting on top of the biggest pile of pearls outside of China, but I am saving all my bucks for this sale!!

Ah, Caitlin, my husband and I would love to visit the Tuscon shows. But this is one thing that will have to wait until our daughter is out of school!
