My Takahashi live event necklace just arrived. T22: 6.0-8.0 mm Blue Round Akoya and White Keshi Pearl Necklace, 32" long. Hisano thinks it was a collaboration between Takahashi and the other vendor that does the teeny tiny keshi. I better not break any of these strands because there is no...

Well now I want to go to the Toyota Museum. P.S. I also drive a Camry. I'm on my third one.

OOOO, thank you for taking us along for the ride. Those pearl photos are drool worthy. Were you seeing a lot of black knots on akoya pearl necklaces in Japan? Toyota started out as Toyoda (the actual family name) and they made weaving looms, not cars. I'm curious if they had any looms...

I like the bracelet clasp. That looks easy to use with one hand.

WOWZA! Gorgeous!

OOOO JEG, I remember that MOP necklace from my first RUCKUS at the weird white house. I love it. The feather earrings go perfect with it. I've decided to pass on the 11mm pair of blue pearls, BF14C. It turned out that there was a typo on PP website and it wasn't B that was still available...

I haven't seen that Miki clasp before. I'm guessing it's silver. Maybe rub a silver rouge cloth on the back of the clasp to polish up the bit that has contact with your skin. The pearls look lovely. Wear them well! Or sell them.

I was just about to ask if they were "add a pearls." They struck me as "add a pearl" type pearls. That means they were probably drilled to be strung on thin chain. What about making a tin-cup? Since the sizes are all over the place, make it a random tin-cup with random spacing, and sometimes...

3 strand necklaces are tough. My last restring with extra pearls needed, I sent to Pearl Paradise.

That pastel is gorgeous.

Nobody wants to see my old face, including me. Everyone wants to see my pearls. Pattye, on the other hand, is beautiful!!!!

I haven't gotten my Hong Kong Live necklace yet, so I absolutely was not going to buy anything else during the last PP Live event. But NOBODY bought the BF14 B: 10-11 mm Natural Color Blue Akoya Pearl Pairs, the drop shaped pearls. I remember someone "Mined" them right away but changed their...

WOWZA! Those pearls, wow.

I was going to say that it looked like it was several pearls glued together, too. But I bow to Lagoon Island Pearls' expertise. Do you think this happens because the pearl grafter tried to insert too many nuclei in too small an area?

My grandmother's fake pearls had a sterling clasp. Richelieu faux pearls usually had sterling clasps. Mikimoto used to use sterling clasps in the 1950s and 60s and probably before. But the quality difference between the two brands is what sets those clasps apart.

They look fake to me. No overtones, lots of glue, inexpensive metals.

I don't know. Mikimoto unfortunately uses the word "exquisite" to refer to their craftsmanship on their own website, and they do not use the word "Exquisite" as a brand name. This makes it hard to do a Google search for the "Exquisite" brand name. I've only seen, Mikimoto, Sea Magic, and...

I want to run my fingers through those buckets of pearls.

Yes, this!!!! I know I've said that, but others have, too.

I'm getting an imitation pearl vibe off them.
