Brown is my favorite color. I might be the only one out there who thinks chocolate pearls are pretty.

You, and every jewelry mag on the land Brown gold, brown stones, brown... everything.

All the ho-hum for the treated brown pearls blurrs the record, but... wasn't it a dramatic, news-worthy strand of 'chocolate' pearls with natural color that started the craze? Coincidence-coincidence with a 'failed' new treatment initially intended to blacken not brown the pearls, and voila - fashion trend. Good one at that [too bad for the chocolate & cofee breakfast ]

Amazing strand Jeremy. Would love to see it on someone! Can you get one of the ladies in your office to model it and snap some photos for us all?

Unbelievable! Can't wait for the picture of the finished strand.

Its curious how our tastes change when they suite our preferences.

Not to take anything away from the "golden" FWP's, but they look a heck of a lot like chocolate tahitians that were less then a hit:

The chocolate pearls are all over Greenhills. Definitely gorgeous except that they are not of natural colour. However, if we talk about aesthetics alone, all else being the same, I'd definitely go for the chocolate pearls compared to the goldens.

Just to show you how rare Jeremy's browns are, I've only seen one with that color and in a multicolor strand. A whole strand will be unbelievably gorgeous.

Usually the browns have a dark purple hue, or a dollar-green hue, or a salmon pink hue. I've been interested in these browns for quite a while. In fact, my fave ring is a pinkish brown one, bi-colored as it is cream at the back and it's not even round. 10.2mm.

Gradually turning to cream at the back.

Maybe Jeremy could gather the browns and turn it into a ring, pendant, and earring set so it can be available to a lot of pearl lovers and collectors.

I took a quick shot of the piece made from some of those pearls.

MAGNIFICENT!!!

I recently saw in person some huge coppery brown color-treated Tahitians--really strikingly lovely, being made into pendants. I think it just takes a little getting used to the idea, and of course, as we are expanding our Pearl Wardrobes--we are gonna need browns!!!

Pattye
so many pearls, so little time

[knotty panda]

Magnificent is precisely the right word, Pattye. My daughter has chestnut hair. When light hits her you see flashes of copper and gold, and several shades of deep, deep auburn. With her green eyes and that strand -- oh my! Magnificent!

I adjusted the picture a bit so You can see the colors even better.
I hope Jeremy doesn't mind

[Perle]

Oh, wow, Jeremy - I hope you can find more of those!

Bloody Hell!

Aycee, have you seen them in person?

[pattye]

Hi Kevin,

If you have any of those Chocolate Tahitians you might want to dust 'em off for this next go-round-----

[jshepherd]

Hey, that looks a lot better! And much more realistic. Can you tell I give the art department the weekend off?!

[Aycee]

Valeria,
I didn't see them myself I just copied the picture, loaded it into photoshop and tweaked it a bit
