Wow - what a lot of interesting comments! I have a couple observations to share: 1) Everybody looks for something to distinguish what they have to sell. For example, Care (druzydesigns on Ebay) often references Josh in her Ebay posts for the Tahitian she obtains from him (c.f., These Rare All...

I was reading my daily Wall Street Journal and saw an advertisement for an estate sale auction at Doyle New York (www.doyleny.com). There were some fun pearl entries in there that I thought you might like to see (and if you buy something, tell us about it!). I tried to hyperlink to each page in...

What a great article. I agree - you sound very calm there, Josh! Growing upon the east coast of Florida, we had a lot of sharks but I was never so calm about them. Feet dangling from the surfboard always seemed so vulnerable to me (I would never know what exactly brushed against my foot!).

Lovely, lovely strands. I'm glad you were able to get in on the exotic bandwagon the second time around. John

I have several of the chokers. The first one I bought from Pearl Paradise (a Tahitian) had two knots that slid across the leather cord, making the necklace adjustable. It was very easy to use, but I didn't like it after about 6 months - the leather started looking very worn from the sliding of...

Hi Inge, Your pearl collection is very lovely. Those "big greys" look great on you and do not look too formal at all. They have a lot of character, actually. You must enjoy deciding what you will wear each day. Thank you for sharing. John

What a wonderful, and thorough, presentation. Thank you for posting it here and sharing it with us. I like the rings that two of you have - they are great settings for lovely pearls! John

As the others, I really enjoyed the video. I was thinking, as people were swimming in that relaxing water, what concern is there regarding sharks - and then I saw one swimming around! Any worries about the shark finding one of those bare limbs appetizing? John

Thanks for sharing the article with us, Jeremy. It makes me stop and think a about pearls from a new perspective. Who knew there were people building color libraries? John

Such lovely colors on the three - you have effectively whetted our appetite! John

I'm blushing - thanks for all the nice feedback. And now I have a possibility for the "what's next?" question. Something silver sounds like a great idea. John

An absolutely gorgeous collection and to think you made them! There are simply too many wonderful things to pick one to comment. Wow! John

After pretty much exhausting the pearl-pendant choker for men, I was wondering what I could get next... Sarah at Kojima Pearls had a great idea. She made up this Tahitian keishi necklace that is just the right size for me. I'm really thrilled with it. I wish, though, that my photography could...

These are truly lovely pendants - very imaginative combinations! I especially enjoyed hearing about your relationship with Nhan. Evidence shows it to be not only one with giggles but with great results... John

Fantastic view of a "day in the life" of your pearl farm, Josh. I'm so glad you could take advantage of the depressed dollar to get a great lens for your camera so we could see your pictures ;-) John

Stunning, Jeremy - it truly is quite the bounty (to carry on the loot theme). Congratulations!

Joan - I love those hoops you have (and the pearls with them). Do you mind sharing where you found them? John

From your lips to God's ears!

It makes me want to go there. Those "long unspoilt beaches" sound very tempting after our long Rocky Mountain winter. Thanks, Steve, for providing the narrative! John

Thanks for the feedback. I need to work on taking clearer pictures, but couldn't resist sharing. They are a lot of fun. I used to wear a lot of ties, not I have some pearl chokers instead. I should have mentioned what the other pearls are... From Top Baroque tahitian with two chocolate FWP...
