The next issue of Gems and Gemology goes to print...

[quote=jshepherd]The few white strands on our mother's day special were unbleached. The whites in the multi color strands are unbleached as well.

Jeremy,

how about ROUND, untreated freshwater pearls? Isn´t it possible for You to get to a factory that would be willing to sell the pearls before any treatment? I know that You buy in such quantities that You certainly should be in a position to "dictate" the rules.....

[jshepherd]

It is possible to get them but only by selection, really. It takes a long time to pick out the pieces which have a luster intense enough to warrant no treatment. I did this recently with those exotic drops and a few exotic color pieces, but I do not believe I would ever be able to collect enough to offer them to the public.

These are all untreated.

I just love those eggplant-colored ones. There's never enough of those to go around.

Gosh, I could just cry!!! There are not enough superlatives to cover the amazing colors of those strands. Maybe someday------

so many pearls, so little time

It looks like there are a few strong pink ones, too. Gorgeous!

I am always amazed at what I see and read here. Beautiful pearls, by the way. I feel I am privy to " The Secret Life of Pearls".

Nice pic. Where'd you get it from? They look almost bead-nuked to me though.

This strand was from our site a year or more back. It was a 16.5mm South Sea strand.

Ha, at least I got the bead part right. I just assumed whoever posted it meant freshwaters. But very nice pic!

And we know where the photo came from!

Thank you.

They are lovely, I wish I had them.
Do freshwater freeform/baroque get to that size?
Or do I not know what I am talking about here! ha ha.

Okay, now Jeremy has the white (and multi) freshwater baroques up on his site, officially this time
