Something you don't see every day

[Alex]

thanks for the follow-up picis Jeremy - beautiful colours, beautiful pearl

and - special lady, special pearl (in that order)

can we see the finished piece in time

[jshepherd]

I'm not sure what the special lady will do with the pearl. We'll probably find out at the ruckus I wish there were more of these because I know it's unfair to tease, but there are some other special things Hisano and I collected, like white metallics.

[Caitlin]

white metallics! I love them so much! I have a wonderful, fantastic white metallic strand. This is the first strand of white I love so much (except my little Bahrainis.)

I am pretty well set up, so luckily for the rest of you, I won't be competing for those!!!! I would just LOVE the opportunity to hold mine up to a natural hanadama strand- jest wondrin'!!! I think I like that metallic luster on whites as much as anything I have ever seen.

[Marianne]

Pretty enough to make you cry Caitlin.

[Katbran]

That is a truly beautiful pearl! I just love the drop shape it's so elegant! Hope you can unearth more of them

[lisa c]

GASP!!!!! Stagger! White Metallics!?! My Holy Grail!

Well, Caitlin, you'll get an opportunity soon. Drag your metallics to the Ruckus, explore the vault!

[Caitlin]

I got these from the vault, ruckus before last.

They were in a tray with some lavender/silvers from a sale, but I broke from my original and longstanding love of lavender, and wangled these instead. The copper-tinged white is the best pinking for a pearl, ever, by which I mean white with overtones, not all pinked in the processing. White with natural overtones is rare and precious. My precious........ The photo above is actually another customer's pearls, I just used it because my photography would make them look like I was telling a fish story.

Oops sorry, let's get back to that mighty drop!

Black rhodium? Never heard of it, but it sounds as mysterious as the pearl. A Black rhodium chain as well? Is there such a thing?

[GemGeek]

My dream would be a white metallic pendant with matching dangle earrings. <sigh>

[Caitlin]

Yeah. The earrings.....

[Adeline Leigh]

Lucky people attending the Ruckus who pass through the walls and door of The Vault with purchases MUST showcase their beauties when they are home. I insist. Imperative.

[lisa c]

I agree. That's The Ruling! Adeline speaks with authority, must.... be.... obeyed....

[Adeline Leigh]

One day, Lisa,one day, I swear on it, I WILL be there too And hopefully so will you.

[lisa c]

Yeeeessssss...I....will...obey..Adeline....
It'll be fun!

Adeline and Lisa,

I am determined to attend a Ruckus, and am hoping to make the one in 2016, as I already have planned my holidays up to 2015!
