    Thanks Pattye! You're the best. Like I said on FB, the launch is looking more like a leap but the support from family, friends and total strangers has been really heartwarming. We are taking baby steps and are excited to offer very select pearls. There will be more to come but for now a humble beginning is all that we can bite off in this new adventure.

    Hey Josh
    I am glad you took this step. For the producer to control the product to retail is the best possible sequence! Yippie for you!!!

    I have long thought that pearls from different farms/islands are like little vineyards putting out their own vintages. I think you can even dna test pearls- now that would be the impeccable provenance.

    Golly , thanks so much everyone.

    First off, thanks to you Jeremy for this forum and this community that you have so artfully crafted. That has been on my mind for a long time but I'm not sure I have taken the time to say it.

    Caitlin, Blaire, Lisa, Dave, Heidi, Nerida and Sheri thanks very much for the encouragement!

    Marianne, I completely agree with what you said about the pearls being the stars. A fine pearl is and will always be a miracle to me.
