So, I believe this is the strand I was looking for and followed the link that Jeremy provided....and guess what, its out of stock, but doesn't say sold? Not understanding that.....

Yesterday I received an email from Kirsten at PP....please see below. Not sure what to make of this at all. Any thoughts?

When I checked all the baroque Tahitian strands yesterday, there were very few and some marked sold. I guess I didn't get a chance to purchase before general public. Oh well, I guess I will look elsewhere.

Hi Jody!

We got in the new Tahitian baroque strand yesterday and there are 5 sitting on my desk that are similar to #252. The size ranges, overtones, and shape are similar to that strand with the largest one (10.1-12.2) having more rose and green bands of colour than all the others. I'm going to have our photographer, Natalie, take a photo of these strands and get you a picture either today or tomorrow with all the specs and prices.

These strands will not go up on the site for the general public until you have had a chance to take a look. I'll get back to you with the photos as soon as I can and then we can go from there if you see one you like.

PS--I forgot to mention there are several more Tahitian strands now available at PP than yesterday. I thought I would get a chance to purchase the strand Jeremy gave the link since I had been alerted by email they were coming. I had really wanted a strand with more greens and pinks like the one I had found at The Pearl Source. I am disappointed.

Jody, that email sounds to me like they are holding 5 different necklaces which are similar to that strand (252) from release to the general public so that you can look them over and see if you would like to purchase any of them. Also, I just tried to add 252 to my cart and it allowed me to, implying that particular strand is still available. I think PP is trying very hard to get you a necklace that you will like. Jeremy posted elsewhere that Natalie has been very busy, which may explain why you haven't gotten any photos yet. At least try emailing Kristen again and ask what is going on before just giving up and deciding that you should look elsewhere. Good luck!

Hi Jody, pls post pictures of pearls when you finally get them. Am thinking of Tahitian baroques myself.

By the way, have you seen these?

A bit more circled strand
A lighter strand

Jody,

If Kirsten says she has some strands on her desk for you, she has some strands on her desk for you. We uploaded a few new strands yesterday, but I think you are misinterpreting it. We have hundreds of new strands. The strand that I posted a link to last night sold last night as well. This is why it will not allow you to place it in your cart.

Jody:
Jeremy's not kidding. Kirsten put aside a couple of strands of silver tahitians for me a few months ago and had Natalie send me pics. I now have a beautiful strand of silver tahitians which was never listed on the site. And they made earrings to match for me. It's definitely worth the wait!

Jody, I have to second everyone who says get in touch with Kirsten and work with her directly! I'm sure she will do her best to find something beautiful!

The things that get posted here, I have to say, they often go very fast. I almost bought that strand myself last night! The ones Kirsten has on her desk obviously are reserved for your approval. Which is great - you can consider them at your leisure!
