GAD Raisondetre,

Stop taking photos of these beauties and start flaunting them, and your young beautiful neck.

Mine too arrive just today, and I adore them. I rarely put pearls on when they just arrive but I did with my (Jeremy's) exotics. They are truly stunning and have taught me a BIG, BIG lesson. To stop trying to find a Chinese eBay seller that is honest (sorry all those Chinese who are honest, been trying to find you) and Save and Buy from Jeremy. I think I could have bought several strands of Jeremy's beauties if I had left off my bl+)+y bargain hunts.

I must thank Jeremy. Your pearls, your service, your packing and your mini jewellery boxes are unbelievable and I an not one to rave normally. Most of all the pearls are totally out of this world. I wish I had gone for those purples too!!!!!!

My only regret, is that I did not buy Bigger and More. Lots more. Bugger the bank. Bugger my Credit Card. I wish, I wish. boo hoo. Next time when an offer comes up I will know. BUT before that I will be a customer of yours now. I am hooked.

I've tried and tried to take photos that show the amazing orient in these exotics but so far haven't succeeded. Could it be the problem is with my autofocus camera?? I may try again with my 'dinosaur' of an all-manual 35mm SLR.

No question, they look better than the photos-- beautiful as the photos are!

Ok, Ok, now I can not resist. Here goes my Canon Ixus
After I made these photos, I definitely can not part with this second strand of mine, as I initially planned...

Initially I think part of me might have considered parting with my Exotics by now way could I ever do that. Maybe if I bought (oh boy hindsight) a few strands I could have parted with a "few" pearls for earrings lashed with loads of 22 k gold and all the lashings of fashion but no way now. I want them all to myself. Pearls are pearls and we cannot be parted with the best of them and these are the best.

All of your exotics are gorgeous!

After seeing all your exotics, I'm SOOOO upset that I didn't check the forum for those few weeks. I TOTALLY MISSED OUT!!!
Maybe one day soon - PP will have another exotic special.

I post w/picture to join the rest of you and to especially thank Jeremy, Mia and PP staff stringer Elia Saldana. I'm posting a bit late as the pearls just arrived after being shipped three times (delivery, return, delivery). Jeremy had overlooked (who can blame him) my request for a strand and a bracelet from two 18-inch 7.5mm-8.5mm oval strands. Not only did PP not make money, but had to string ours twice…

Nice heft, lustre and intensity. Looks like we'll be extremely happy with these.

Amazing. Simply amazing. I've always liked white (and only white) pearls but these pictures are changing my mind about multi-coloured pearls.

Olmander:
Have you considered taking your new pearls out and petting them and telling them that you are very sorry, that you never really thought of abandoning them? Such sweet little guys and you probably really hurt their feelings.
