Red dyed CFWPearls are becoming more popular every year

[The Pearl Outlet]

Terry, how about a private offer for the reds?

Since you asked, sure thing. I'm leaving Hongkong today, so give me until the end of the week. I'll post a link on this thread to them after we have pictures, and I won't post any links on my site to them.

So much for the red and emerald green idea I had for Christmas... I may have to keep one strand just to play with.

Argh! Make it October!!! Credit card billing cycle resets Oct 2!

^ I agree with the above post. October!! xD

Wait... EMERALD??

PLEEEEASE? I don't think I can pull off red pearls... They might look like bright red legions or something. But Emerald... It's only my favorite color ever. Not mixed. Just Emerald.

[Mervione]

There have been red pearls ("cranberry pearls") in TPOs sales almost every month for a while now...

[Raisondetre]

Not big ones, especially for the cranberry/lavenders. They're very quickly sold out as well due to limited quantities.

[Mervione]

Ah, right.

[Raisondetre]

It's painful to keep chasing an obsession, I tell ya ...

[Mervione]

Must be expensive too.

It's great that now we are getting some quality chocolate pearls, red and gold, and green? and of course, peacocks. But for a long time, most of the dyed pearls were only the poorer quality pearls, and dyed all sorts of funky colors, still are, okay for crafts but not suitable for nicer jewelry. Wonder what colors will be next?

[Nerida]

There were certainly a lot of better quality pearls dyed at the show. Almost all of the emerald/olive greens were decent pearls. Didn't chase any myself, but there were also lots of yellow golds - almost like the yellow akoya type colour, only just a touch brighter.

I am only going to say this once and then duck. I think pearls should look like pearls. Not Cranberry's. or Chocolate. But that's just me. I know that taste is wide ranging. And that sales are the biz we are in. Just a personal preference.

I'm not sure why I'm currently so obsessed. I have never been a fan of dyed pearls, especially the low grade ones. But perhaps the purist in me is dying out as the Aussie dollar drops ... dyed freshwaters can be a funky cheap thrill until I have enough fire power to burn a huge hole in my pocket. I've got enough of the regular pearls to want to branch out.

They are pretty. I won't argue that point at all. And many people like them. And that's what sales are about.

Snortle, snortle!

Let's buy her out before she finds out.

Now Caitlin Honey; that's just plain mean.
