    Natural Color, Deep Gold, High Luster, South Sea Pearls from Pearl Paradise

    There is a bit of a story to these pearls… I first asked Jeremy if he could source a pair, back in January 2012. The first ‘nearly pair’ appeared fairly quickly after that, but they were not quite ‘deep’ enough. Another pair appeared, but still not quite right – then Jeremy took the search out...

    Unusual Necklace

    I quite like this - it's kind of unusual as the colours are not uiniform and the pearls at the front are quite large it sold at Bonhams in April for GBP 36K - I wonder if that was a bargain - well, maybe a bargain in that world, if you know what I mean.... pearls are 4.2mm-8.5mm, single-cut...

    These were mentioned on a recent PG thread and reminded me?.. they were also bought from Jeremy in the summer of 2009 they started as a ?private PP sale? (limited access prior to the public sale) it was kind of fun, as the pearls on the page were all ?one of a kind??, e.g. they were all made...

    Tahitian Peacock Pears

    This is really Chapter 2 of the earlier Sea of Cortez Earrings thread There were a few problems along the way with the SoC, and I wanted a 'Plan B' in case they didn't come off, so I thought of asking Jeremy and Mia to put together a Tahitian pair - that looked like 'Pears' By the way, does...
