It is amazing how good that color dye looks on pearls. Outstanding!

The pure cranberry looks really good! I suppose they would go well with the turkey ... I never liked the low grade dyed pearls - this totally changed that! Ropes would be wonderful too!

I donīt like dyed pearls normally but I really LOVE these colours and think like Amrita that they are refreshing, beautiful. Only I would like larger pearls just as Raisondetre. Once you have started with the larger sizes, you donīt want to go back to the small ones,

I've seen really nice quality dyed pearls lately. Olive green, apple green, cranmberries,bright purples, rust... They look really good! They are round with very few blemishes. I like the cranberries and the olive greens best. The apple green and bright pinks look like christmas decors.

To be honest, I only like dyed colors if they are done well and on AA+ or above pearls, and also in the larger sizes. If I do manage to catch next week's sale I *might* still try out the smaller cranberry/grey/lavender strand as it matches my top perfectly, but bigger is better, at least for pearls. The new dyed colors sound great! As usual, high-grade pearls only for me. Until I pick up beading, that is. Nah, too lazy ...

Wow! I was blown away with the demand! We had more than 70 strands between the two necklaces, and they all sold within a few hours. I'll work to get more for next month's sale, along with earrings.

Hi Terry,

when coming home yesterday I switched on my computer, saw the email and wanted to order just to see the SOLD sign so I really hope I get another chance when you get the next batch.

Is there some hope of getting these necklaces with larger pearls?

My yahoo address did not get the email until 6 PM CST. I forgot about the sale was yesterday and did not check the website directly during the day.

For whatever reason, Yahoo addresses always take hours and sometimes up to two days for our emails to reach.

Yes, I'll be working on sourcing larger cranberry pearls as well.

Hi all,

LOL, I checked my email within an hour of the sale going out, and already the cranberry/lavender ones were gone. They still has the all cranberry, but like most of you, I wanted a larger strand. I look forward to next month, although I may completely miss that one with BB's arrival.

Good luck to everyone next month.

I missed out too, poo! And they were going for such a great price. I'll be waiting until next month if you can get some more available!
