Thank you for visiting my album and for your kind words. I am saving and waiting for a larger exotics strand (10 and up). My album won't be complete without exotics :).
Olga - Very nice design and the pearl is very pretty with intense color :).
newberry - You can visit DruzyDesign (Ehret-Design-Gallery) eBay store here.

If you are interested in Kasumi pearls, there are two other vendors that I am aware of...
PearlParadise.com has helped restringing my pearl necklaces in the past. You might want to give them a call. You won't be disappointed.
I tried a local jeweler here in Scottsdale AZ once and I had to have them restrung my Kasumi necklace twice!! I'm still not happy with it.
I doubt those pearls are cultured. King Bhumibol Aduljadej was listed as the wealthiest royal in 2008 with estimated net worth of $36 billion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_wealthiest_royals).
I'd like to echo everyone else's admiration for this exquisite necklace. I would do anything to be able to view this piece in person during the next show-and-tell ICPGC... if you plan to present.
Congratulations :)
