I just scored some of the blue baroques from PP! I'm so excited-I missed out on the last special. This is my first strand of baroques and the first akoyas that I have purchased (I have a vintage strand that has been passed down).

Thanks for posting this-I saw that discussion as well. Something that bothers me is those who will order them and be at least somewhat satisfied with them or think they got a deal because they don't realize how beautiful GOOD quality pearls are. Before I learned about pearls, it was all about...

yep, its on the PP webpage

Baroque tahitian tin cup $185...very pretty!

yep, as soon as they come in!

okay, I broke down and ordered the 100 inch...I'm so weak!

you're right-its gorgeous

Does anone have the 100 inch strand? I'm contemplating that one, but wondering if 100 inches is TOO many pearls....I'm 5'4".

ah...enabler!

I LOVE the gem quality freshwater pendants-especially 3,4, and 5. The ONLY thing keeping me from getting 1 (or 3!) is that I don't wear yellow gold. They'd look sooooo pretty in white gold!

Okay, so I'm a life long republican, but even I have to admit that this lady has STYLE! Love the pearls! http://www.mrs-o.org/?p=4186

I'm so jealous! I want some!

okay, thanks for validating my thinking! I thought maybe I was weird for having no desire to pay that much for a name!

It seems to me that many ladies hold Mikimoto as the be all and end all of pearls. Aren't they just a name brand, like Coach or Tiffany? I know that Mikimoto the man developed the culturing process, but as far as Mikimotos categorically being the "best of the best", they're not necessarily...

me too-I guess I'll live vicariously thru everyone else! Hopefully next month's will be another very beautiful and affordable special!
