I bought your 9.0-9.5 mm Silver-Blue Akoya Baroque Pearl Necklace last month and I LOVE it! I've added some photos that I took of it to my Album here. Thanks again.

Hey, Happy Birthday, Jeremy! I hope this is one of the best ever!

Now that I have read your entire site and visited all the u tube clips I would love to go on that type of vacation. I actually would love to do the procedure with my background. A thrill to be sure. I am rugged and not afraid of grand in mud. What a thrill.
Hope you accept my invite. Pearl Angel

Jeremy,
Great review, thanks for sending it out.

Has anyone heard if Josh and Sarah and friends are ok?

Jeremy,
New book, The French Blue, will be out in early November. Follows the adventures of Jean-Baptiste Tavernier through the 17th Century gem trade including a couple of chapter on the Gause, the pearl beds, pearl diving off Bahrain, Persian Gulf. Love it, if Pearl-Guide or Pearl Paradise would do a review or perhaps publish the diver excerpt. Has Pearl Paradise got a book section yet?

Jeremy hi,
I just wanted to let you know that your judjement about Sharon in Hongqiao was right. The SS I bought in April for 1500 euro each were evaluated by a SS dealer in Athens for 500 euro each.He said that the shape of them was not baroque he called it "off shape" Does such shape exists? he said that their colors champagne and gold come only form Philippines. Sharon's certificate defines them Austalian.Also that these pearls are very low quality. I have posted the pearls at the show your pearls forum under Baroque: nature's small miracles.
I have been a PGR since the beginning of last year, I should have asked your advice before I went to Honqiao.Now I have to accept a big loss. Anyway, I asked my son, Nickolas, who is doing his MBA at Tsinghua university in Beijing to pay her a visit and explain the situation.
I would like to thank you for your kind concern. Thank you for your time
Best regards
Akoya

Hi Jeremy, I sent you a PM.

Hi Jeremy,

I see you are on... Looks like I no longer have permission to start a new thread on PG -- hopefully you can fix it soon. Anyway, I just wanted to bring to your attention an innovative type of pearls ShopNBC has as today's special -- Chinese freshwater akoyas. Check this out (it's also featured prominently on the ShopNBC.com homepage):

I thought the Pearlfection claims were bad, but they seem to have outdone themselves!

I'll also try to PM you.

Take care,
Jing
