Drool. I want them all. Really. You're the reason I keep the day job...

Ahaha! Thanks everyone for the kind (and funny) words.
Yes, R stands for round and SR for semi-round. Mikeyy, I'm not supposed to answer questions like that.

Ah, the day job - that's what I was supposed to do!!

Josh - I've just popped back to this thread for another peek - put your colourful bunch as my computer background, and cleared the desktop icons so that your pearls would look elegant! Truly, they are magnificent, and I want them all , too!

I understand. But I am required to ask.

[Josh]

OK Nerida, here's another picture for the desktop then.
Mikeyy, and I'm required to ask what the story is behind the outrageous (SS?) pearl in your palm?

[Nerida]

Thankyou thankyou - what a stunningly beautiful photograph! Those colours look like they would rival Douglas's..

[jerin]

Beutiful, Josh!

[MistofCassiopeia]

I'm in love! (what do I have to sell to get one of these?)

[Pearl_dreams]

I love the angle on that last shot-- thanks for the photo!

Hehe they almost look like eyes-- watching us as we watch them!

If it wasn´t for the fact that these aren´t round they would fit in well in that lot...

The green one:



The BLUE one:



They´re actually from Josh´s farm. The pictures aren´t edited at all.

I keep revisiting these - just such stunning colors!

Josh:
You guys are ruining me for "normal" pearls. Whatever that is. Yours have such outrageous colors. I have Jeremy's exotics and freshadamas, etc. I even have one of Patty's beautiful pearl pendants. When family members look at all my pearls they ask, "Where do you get this stuff?" I can't wait until I can add one of yours to my collection. There is no store on the West Coast that I can go in to and see anything that looks like your pearls right here on the Guide. At work people stop me in the hall and ask "What color pearls are we wearing today?"
Thank you so much for the pictures and the desktop. We can all share right?

P.S. There is a cool store in Washington Square, Beaverton, Oregon that has pearls from Hawaii. They even have a cute octopus! Prices to match too. Yow.
Let's see; I need a pearl from Josh, Doug, maybe Terry's special collection.
I gotta get a second job.

here's another picture for the desktop then.

That's right where it is now-----

THANK YOU!!

Great pictures Mervione! It's all about lighting, huh? I balance my pictures so they represent as close as possible what the eye sees. No matter how good your camera, it will almost never perfectly represent reality but your pictures show really well the natural colors. The biggest deciding factor is lighting and as you and I have proved, it can be done at home. It's also really nice to see how pearls from my farm have filtered out into the community of fellow pearl lovers.

Hi Josh,
Well, you know what they say - quality will always out....
