Didn't think of the 44 little knots adding up... and there will be a clasp too.

Fingers crossed!

Whew, that was fast paced. My clicker finger froze when I saw all of those beautiful choices. I was lucky and did manage to "score" one of the large strands FEN590-379. I tried to get an oval strand coz I love that shape, but the ones I wanted sold before I could get it into my cart.
I hope everyone could get at least something. Thanks to all at PP for such a great offering. I have to go rest now, I feel like I have just finished " The Pearl Olympics"!

I know I got the two strands I picked because I got a confirmation five minutes later ( I wasn't as ambitious as some of you). Things did go very quickly though. By the time I was done shopping so many were gone.
I can't wait to see these! I wonder if some will get shipped out today?

Congratulations on that lovely strand. We do expect to see photos of it a.s.a.p.

But I took a long lunch today to watch Jeremy and Mia and the rest of the crew assemble and pack everyone's exotics. I live in LA so it was just a long lunch field trip. But I'm telling you - you guys are going to be so excited when you see these. They are AMAZING. Jeremy, Mia and I chatted about how crazy the sale was and how fast everything went. It was so great to see them! You guys are going to love love love them. Jeremy is tall for those of you who are wondering. While I was there watching, I decided to get a pair of Freshadama earrings for my girlfriend so they would match the strands I ordered (I had to get SOMETHING while I was there). We compared it to the strand of exotics I was lucky enough to get and they match very nicely.

Jeremy himself helped pick them out for me. Mia liked them too - they are both extremely helpful and friendly - even for such a small purchase like this!!!

I got these:

I got to take them home with me!!!!! Pics to come later today! There were actually pearls in my strand that were just as shiny as the earrings! And guys the orient in some of these pearls (not all but here and there) is AMAZING. It looks like the pearl is glowing from within - isn't that cool?

Lastly, Jeremy was nice enough to give me the free 2008 calendar that each of us will be getting. It is AMAZING. I will post pics of it later tonight in case anyone wants to see. Jeremy did a great job on it, the pics are amazing and the paper stock he used is quite heavy so it is great quality. You guys I'm sure will all enjoy it.

Everyone enjoy their exotics. Because I live in LA, I'm hoping to get mine by end of week and post pics for everyone to enjoy.

Lucky you! So do the exotics look like they do in the photos? Looking forward to your pics

Oooh, pretty, pretty earrings pandaexpress! Can't wait to see your pics!!

As promised, here is a taste of the amazing pics in the free 2008 calendar that await you when you receive your exotic order. I love mine! Thanks Jeremy for your generosity in giving these to us. I'll post pics of the 8-9mm Freshadama earrings I got to match the exotic strand I got in the sale yesterday - it's my first exotic earring color and I have to say - they are even more amazing than I thought.

And here are the 8-9mm Freshadama lavendar earrings I got to match the exotic strand. Jeremy hand picked these to match well with the strand - Thanks Jeremy! And then Mia approved afterwards

What do you guys think? Can you see me waving to you all in one of the pictures?

In the 2nd photo I wanted to show how the pearl is reflecting the light that is reflecting off the camera - see the right side pearl wild huh?

I have the 8-9mm Freshadama white ones and these have an even more intense luster and orient. The white ones have great luster and orient (seems like the pearl is like glowing from within) but these are super shiny and the reflection is so clear! These are my first 'exotic' colored earrings and I can see why you guys love them so much. They look like shiny metallic balls but with flashes of a peacock overtune / lavendar / pink - really cool!

I can't believe that 3 weeks ago I knew nothing about pearls and since then have already made 6 purchases at pearl paradise - how crazy is that - am I addicted or WHAT?!

Casey R - I think you will be really happy with your exotics. The pics they shot are true to what they will look like when you open your box. They are very shiny and remarkably 'warm' - I think that is what I was unprepared for. And they are completely natural - Jeremy confirmed today that they have not undergone ANY processing so they are truly 'organic' pearls - I like saying that being a native Californian - he he...

[pandaexpress]

P.s. Happy Chinese New Year To Everyone!!!!!

[Pearl_dreams]

Ha! Look at those hands waving to us! Beautiful luster! A great choice.

Oh yes, it goes very quickly! In my case is started last Septemeber with an occasional mabe ring and now, as my husband says, I can already open a shop or write a book

Hi Pandaexpress,

thanks for the great photos of your amazing lavender pearl earrings! Oh yes, we can see you waving at us, lol. I am looking forward to the calendar, it certainly will not be helping to keep us from buying.

You wrote that you saw Casey´s pearls, did you see mine as well, perhaps?

What about your own exotic strand? Where is a pic of it?
How nice to be able to meet with PP:s people in person. You are a lucky guy, that´s for certain!

Don´t forget to tell us about your girl friends thoughts once the pearls arrive!

[Hanaleimom]

Wow. Those earrings are nice. What a way to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Happy New Year!!!

I like seeing your fingers in the reflection. That is awesome.


The calendar is so nice. I hope to get mine before Valentine's day.

Hey Jerin - in regards to Casey's personal pearls - I didn't see them specifically - I just meant that I think all of us will be happy with our purchases in general because they are so extraordinary. They were in the midst of packaging the orders when I got there because they are rushing to ship them out to everyone so I only saw glimpses of them in their vault. I can't WAIT WAIT WAIT to get mine.
