Hello fellow PGers - I kept silent during the development of this thread as part of me didn't want to get too involved in a live debate here about the situation with the lost package. I am grateful for all of your comments and have learned a lot from everyone's perpective on this issue. As you...

Sounds great! Please post a photo so we can check it out! :)

Hi Mostawesomecoffee, I would go ahead and buy the Yotsuba drill. It's a high quality Japanese drill with a strong motor and does not have any alignment issues. We use this drill a lot - and it has been holding up great for us. And it's less expensive than the other Japanese ones sold in the...

Wow those are really sweet Hisano! Well done!

Congrats JulieBeth!

In terms of price for quality, I still think the best drill is the one Yotsuba sells. You buy it direct from them in Japan. It costs about $550.00 which is cheaper than any of the Japanese drills mentioned above, and is of excellent quality. It is very precise with a good, strong motor. We...

Yay Jeremy! This is so awesome!! Very generous of you. Agreed and agreed and Agreed! Please put my name in that hat! :)

That last set of pictures brought out the colors and the luster nicely. It's so great how you've taken to making these beautiful pieces yourself. Well done!

Ooh - now I see. I should have known as the mounting reveals this! :eek: But yes, they do look very different.

The conversation in this post and the pics of Icy's beauties have made me think of another pearl I recently ran across that I'd like to share. There were only three in the lot, but they were also amazing. Look at that luster - and what a rare, gorgeous and deep color.

Icy those pearls in your first photo are of an astounding quality. The combination of super sharp luster and such great color makes them supreme and rare gems. Congratulations they are just so beautiful! I come across pearls like those once in a while but overall, they are very difficult to...

Thanks GemGeek. Yes those were sold before I posted here. Just wanting to show viewers what I thought were some nice looking pearls. Sarah - the "smooth circled" ones are almost better than the rounds imho. They are smooth and round in shape but have the uniqueness of a circled pearl. Can't...

From time to time I run across some pearls that are just so awesome that it's hard not to share them here! :D This is a lot of Mangareva circled shorts that I recently picked up in FP. I love these guys! They have so much character, color and individuality. Lovely greens and purples -...

I agree - I like the third one best as well. Adds some bling but keeps the pearls blending into each other nicely as well.

1.4 miles of high quality akoya pearls! That's something! Thanks for showing us this.

Hi Jersey - it looks amazing! Nice and round and clean. I though you might love those Light mix colors - for some reason! They are so beautiful and elegant. Do post when it is all done up with the clasp, so I can see! ;)

Your circles are so amazing Justin!! I'l take them any day over regular Tahitian circled pearls! :)

Those are the exact ones! I recognize the picture! :rolleyes:

I bet he's going to sell them at auction! :)

It's wonderful to see these photos from your production Justin. Please keep them coming, everyone here really appreciates it!
