Happy New Years! Here are a couple of closeup photos of CathyKeshi's new Alien Rosebud Tahitian pearl necklace. I chose to call them rosebud Tahitian pearls.. because the little bumps on the surface of the pearls are in fact little keshi pearls that attached to the big nucleated pearl while...

I always say I really want people to truly ENJOY their pearls! This just made my day! Thanks Cathy , the aliens and the penguins look fantastic on you!

happy holiday aftermath to you all.. Jeremy, please put my name in the hat.. I know it's probably not completely fair.. but I promise to take a kabillion photos, share all my stories from Fiji... and I feel like I have been VERY good this year! :) With warmth, Sarah

Those earrings were actually inspired by the amazing bead work of the Maasai women of Kenya/Tanzania. My dear friend (and great inspiration) Anna Von Hellens travelled there some years ago..and decided to recreate the style using 18k/22k gold and pearls. Ever the innovator, Anna never ceases...

I would pay for a book about the trials and tribulations of pearl farming written by Douglas! What a saga! :)

What a great video.. thanks for sharing this! Graceful indeed!

Hilarious video!~ Glad you're home safe and sound too! I spent most of the day recovering and writing a blog post about the weekend. Thank you Jeremy and Hisano.. and to all that worked so hard behind the scenes to make that I am sure the best Ruckus YET! With love from Sarah and Mounir

Gemgeek... ahhhhh I too love Oakland.. I much prefer the swimming in Guaymas! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Hi Krickett, I love this idea.. I like option #1, but maybe it is better to not have metal dangling next to such a beautiful pearl in the long run. Option #2 and #3 may be possible with something from Nina Designs...

Pattye: When we arrived it was just following a tropical storm and the clouds were thick and full, the air moist and the breezes made it feel about 70 degrees. I won't lie, it is NOT cold in Guaymas this time of year. I would say it was 75 degrees at 6AM and by mid day it made it to the mid...

We are home now, but still glowing from our amazing time in Guaymas, Mexico at the Sea of Cortez pearl farm harvest. The first day there was a wonderful breeze and I had a great time squishing oyster guts, delighting in each and every pearl that was harvested. It was such a treat to see...

I would normally never chime in on a thread like this.. but first I will say thank you to Chroman! It was so much fun to work with a man who was SO into color. Usually when a gentleman is looking to buy pearls for his wife (partner etc.) I ask them to show me a few photos of her, so that I can...

Great thread thread! Thanks for all the pros and cons.. I love that. I have traditionally used what we call "ceramic thread".. it is something we buy in Japan and it is supple and doesn't stretch.. but only comes in white. Ever since Pattye introduced me to Beader's Secret.. I am a true...

That is really lovely! I am impressed, such a great design and very well made.

Very nice collection of those small pearls. The photo of the worker and the shells is a great way to show how large these shells grow. SO many Pinna pearls are pretty useless for jewelry, making yours even more special. Thanks for showing! Cheers, Sarah

Mounir and I are very much looking forward to joining you all again this year. Thank you to Jeremy and Hisano for their gracious invitation. Can't wait! My favorite part is seeing the creations everyone wears, and hearing the stories behind them! (I didn't see a pool in that video... so I...

Thank you Blaire, that was so well written.. I am humbled. I received an email from Ruby Lane today : Dear Sarah, Ruby Lane has recently received several complaints that a seller on our site is using your company name without authorization. Additionally, they are alleged to be selling...

Thank you Marianne! I adore you. Thanks Pearlescence and cmd2014 for your advice. Thank you Pattye, Jeremy and CathyKeshi for taking action and helping me get the word out there. Pkinnew and Katbran: fingers crossed! I hope she simply stops claiming false provenance.. Better yet that she gets...

Thank you.. I will be there. Looking forward to it! Cheers!

This is awesome.. wish I was there right now! Great photos and well written. Have a wonderful time on Ahe you two... and thank you Blaire!
