I will need some serious “hair and make up”! This will be great. When we decide when we do this, I will send an email.

Yes, Cees...I would think the freshwater pearl offerings would be limited. More room for South Sea and Tahitian pearls! There are some companies that have a presence in the US with freshwater pearls, like Majestic Pearl, but there are also so many others that just come to Tucson. We will see.

Exactly, Katbran. With over 50 shows and 65,000 people coming, it will be a hot bed.

I can not turn down that invitation! Should I bring wine? Hahah.

It doesn't seem to be getting better...Tucson is a pretty "viral" place.

Does anybody know how the coronavirus will effect the Chinese market exhibitors in Tucson? With the limitation of travel in many cities, I was wondering if there might be a definite lack of Chinese pearls at the show.

Ah. Caitlin. Sweet memories. I know her soul is very much still in Tucson.

Hello friends, I couldn't find any posts on the 2020 Tucson Gem Show. Who's going?? Any pearl expeditions to be aware? I always love meeting new friends and, of course, seeing old friends. I have meeting up with Jersey Pearl the last couple of years for many adventures. Where are you all going...

Isn’t it nice to have very good friends that share. Jersey Pearl has become such a good friend through our love of pearls and gems. Thank you JP!!

Oh my gosh! What a labor of love. I admire this whole process. Gail, you will officially become part of the pearl crazy group here after this dedicated project. Congratulations.

Assael is one of the very premium pearl distributors. This is the company that first introduced and promoted Tahitian pearls. Now they are the sole US distributor of J. Hunter's Fiji pearls. Very high quality and design.

So wish I could be there. I'm stuck in rainy NYC and dreaming of sunny SC and many pearl gurus that I will be missing. As Jersey Pearl suggested, it may be time for an east coast ruckus!

I thought that immediately, but she was adamant that most Tahitians one would see...with the exception of hers...were dyed. I have done a LOT of buying of Tahitians and visited pearl farms and I was just appalled at the thought. I know there are some outliers but I am glad, so far, to hear that...

I am troubled by this. I was in a very respectable jewelry store with a friend who was a friend of the Manager. We were picking up a donation for an event and the manager said that these Tahitian pearls were NOT dyed. She made such an emphasis of saying they were not dyed that I had to say that...

I applaud your decision of making your first purchase a pearl from the Sea on Cortez. "We" love those pearls. Very special and your ring is very special with that unique setting. I am intrigued. Congratulations.

I'll share a hut with you! What a great adventure.

Yes, I think we all think it is a good idea to spend some time on yourself and Hisano. You have been overwhelmingly gracious putting together the Ruckus for the last ten years. It is all good. Maybe even you can delegate some of the planning to others on P-G. We would all be up for contributing...

Cathy, I would wear that necklace every day! What a great idea for your engagement diamond. Very special pearls.

I have developed a special camaraderie with Jersey Pearl at Tucson. We had such a good time searching for "gems". There is just something about this pearl world and those who inhabit it, that bonds us. Sarah and I discussed how wonderful our P-G friends are who share all of their knowledge and...

"Pearl drunk". I'll go for that...
