    Default Big ol' Tahitian

    I was perusing on Kojima Pearl and saw this 16.9mm Tahitian. It's quite the specimen. I thought immediately of Sheri (La_Corsetiere) and her monster pearls. Large pearls like these are mind boggling - that's a big pearl considering the overall space.

    Nice of you to think of me, John! Yes, I will admit that the pearl in question caught my eye when it showed up on Sarah's website...you never know what might happen if I happen to see it in person...just might need to join the menagerie...

    I took a real long look at that one too, but thought only of myself! Oh, and my meager budget right now--------

    Nice. That would make a beautiful pendant.

    That is one big pearl. It must have come in a large lot being priced like that. That is the kind of deal I would even consider jumping on.

    I would love to have it, but can't figure what I would do with it (except look longingly at it!).

    I got to see that pearl in person. It's quite something! However, I was buying the Kamoka Strand and wanted that more. :-) Otherwise, it would be quite nice to hang on my Kamoka strand as an enhancer!

    Wow, lucky you! Of course, we'll want to see a neck-shot...

    It's so hard to resist when you are an addict. My husband and kids usually have to drag me out of pearl stores because I don't want to leave.
