Loot!

I vote with Jerin, I think they would look lovely in a tin cup style necklace. I know we all can't wait to see what you decide.

Hi Akoya

Shecy is one of the most troublesome, determined spammers we have ever had. In fact by mentioning their name, you are venturing into the waters of delete. Others have reported here that shecy AAA is smaller and worse than other company's AA, and posted the pictures to prove it, so they are cheats as well.

I suggest you search this site for honest comments on Shecy Pearl Jewelry.

Thanks a lot for the information. My best choice is to visit as many vendors at the Hongqiao market in Shanghai and maybe go to Suzhou or Zhejiang. I do not expect miracles.I would like to buy as many lots of 7.5-9mm, near round,oval,and keshi fresh water pearls in white,pastel and black colors to fit my designs.If I am not confident with my purchases in that market there is always Mr Shepherd's great choices.

Love the colors! Almost anything you make with those is going to look great.

Lets give him some ideas from Europe. If I had these beauties I would marry them with other precious stones to enchance their colors like amethyst and garnet. I would give them a nice hug in sterling silver enclosures something like framing them.I would let them hung from a sterling silver ....something on neoprene cord. In regards to leather cord I would not put two dark colors against each other without enchancing them with a light one.What about threading them in sterling silver chains.create slender and fascinating necklaces and bracelets.
please bare with my spelling I need to download the iespell.

Jeremy:
An idea for your beautiful A's. For some time now I have been looking at this:

18-inch AA+ 12.0 to 14.0mm Tahitian Baroque Pearl Necklace
TAN000-263

It has such great 'freaky' pieces in it, in different colors!

I don't buy it because it is half my yearly pearl budget. Would you consider a 'grab bag' if you did a sale? You know, 5 pieces ranging from size 10 to 13, or 8 pieces, or however many. Along with whatever else you do? That way those who want to design don't have to destroy something to get a few pieces out.

That is, if you decide to share...
Thanks for listening,

I just drilled the first "loot" strand today. It came out nicely. I might have to do a few more.

Beautiful !! This is the type of baroques that I like the most: drop shape, not too many rings, smoothe....lustrous.... Are we going to have a "PG Special" on those strands ????... ( drooling again...)

[jody]

Wow, great strand--is that one, or will more available on your website? I WANT one!!

[pattye]

Wow, Mighty Spectacular! My suggestion, if you don't have a lot, would be designer sets of 3 or 5. That way less expensive for some of us-----and perhaps a few strands also. I'm glad the creativity side is fun and challenging for you also, Jeremy!

so many pearls, so little time

[GemGeek]

Those are sooo cool. Great job on matching - it's a fun strand, full of color.... <sigh>

[airdancer]

Beeee-yooo-teee-full!

[jshepherd]

So far I have only drilled one strand and a customer came in to select the loose pearls personally. I know Kirsten matched a triple-strand bracelet but I have not received the word to drill that one yet.

We have been trying to come up with ways to make something nice with the "loot" pearls without the pieces becoming prohibitively expensive. We might do something as simple as a charm bracelet.

I am in Sao Paulo and will not be back until next week so there will be no playing with those pearls for a while!

Ah that is my vision of a Tahitian strand with perfect colours and if the pearls were round and without circles that would be perfection - as I know it!

That would be charming The pearls seem practically meant for charms... I was thinking necklace with drops while you wrote 'bracelet'.

I love the idea of a charm bracelet with tahitians! Beautiful and more affordable too.
