so many pearls, so little time

Be still my heart! I see....bracelets,lots of bracelets so we can admire them ourselves when we wear them. Necklaces are for others to admire. IMHO.......

[WeeGem]

Absolutely STUNNING! Especially those yummy big drops. I'm mesmerized......

OMG!!!! I set the close-up as my screen background and I nearly fainted from the shine!!! Bring 'em on!!!

A few look like metal mirror balls! 'Guess one could have a pile of the most beautiful pearls and something will still stand out. I should admit being lost for words...

Is there any earring material in the amazing pile?

metal mirror balls are my thoughts exactly. Any treatment? Almost look to polished, but hard to tell from a picture.

Hi Adam Las Vegas,

the whole point with these pearls is that they are not treated in the usual way, just washed.

I certainly hope getting a necklace, once jeremy sends his private list..

I second the question! A pair of those amazing drops would be killer...

I have to agree, and this is one of the rare instances where I would be willing to wear a pair of earrings with two different colors. Anything for those mesmerizing drops!

What happened to the private offer list anyway? Was it just for buyers, or are suppliers also invited the party? Or did the party already happen?

[pattye]

Hi Josh,

It is Jeremy's personal list--for offering unique items of very limited quantity that he occasionally has available, email him for more info.

OK. Someone clear me up on the distinction between that and advertising then. Or is it fine to set up a private offer list of my own? Inquiring minds want to know.

It would be cool if you did bra.

Well, we actually asked for the private offer list. Jeremy only posts about the new projects he's undertaking to let us know what's the latest in perliculture. To avoid losing out on the offers we requested for the list to be set up. It took alot of months. There is a separate mailing list for his own customers that you subscribe to when you checkout from his site that is not related to PG.

This private offer list is now closed. If you want to set one up I'm sure you can. You just have to come up with something that PG-ers here want badly enough.

Most of it started with the more usual stuff found in Show Us Your Pearls. People from all over have been posting and I'd hate to see vendors being prohibited from posting about the wondrous things that they've seen. Just so happens that sometimes these beauties can be brought to us firsthand. When I post about things I buy I'm also providing feedback about the vendors I purchase from. If I love my purchases I will also usually mention where I got it from. Am I being paid to advertise for them then? I love your work Josh, but I find it a bit affronting that the assumption was made without fully understanding the background history of it all. By the time I actually started posting on PG I pretty much read all the posts on the site.
