I have been wanting a strand of Baroque's, large and chunky, white to off-white.
Just how much is something like that and would it be difficult to get?
Curious at this point.

Hi Bethann,

Some members of this forum with online stores have offered these and no doubt will in the future (we hope real soon) after a big show of interest--as I recall prices were around $200 and up, really good size and great orient, yes, most of us love baroques also!!! So in my mind, very affordable. Some whites were also untreated, weren't they, Jeremy??!! Somehow there weren't quite enough to go 'round----

Pattye
so many pearls, so little time

Jeremy was talking about having white baroques as a special at PP this month. I'm not sure if thats happening or not though. many of us here were lucky enough to get some untreated colored baroques about a month ago and they were beautiful and at great prices too!

I just remember seeing a strand at the blue box store that was way into double digits.
"All" I want is a 15-16" strand, large size, very noticeably barogue and beautiful luster. One thing I'm not crazy about is a baroque pearl with heavy rings on it.
Oh, and a stunning clasp.

I found them last Friday, but didn't like to say anything unless Jeremy was keeping them for this month special offer. Bought strand 254.

So the whites here are treated? Untreated? Just bleached? Not bleached?
This is the first I've seen of them.
TIA

The new white strands are bleached. The colors are untreated. Yes, it was not yet public as we have been trying to get the section completely developed (our monthlies rarely run month to month) before going live, but several people have found our sections under construction.

It is not a big deal, really, as long as the page does not get overrun like it did just before Mother's Day. We have several parts to still finish, and about another 200 strands to photoshop into position.
