Hi Pearl Friends! Some Ruckus attendees might remember Juliebeth kindly helping me choose my first Fiji pearls a few years ago. Lots of thinking, planning, searching for materials, and waiting for all those stars to line up ... leading to today's package. The pearl babies are from our friends...

Some may remember these intense, iridescent deep blue Vietnamese pearls. Hisano selected them, and they were on the Pearl Paradise blog. I was lucky enough to get a few, and they've been in John's patient safe keeping at PP while I considered what to do with them. I thought you all might like to...

A few have asked, so at their request, I'm posting photos of some of my Vietnamese akoya pearl collection. As I am so horribly bad at photography, and mostly hopelessly shy about selfies, these are vendor shots. I do think in all cases they represent the pearls very well. I didn't start out to...

Reposting this, as the post from Friday is missing. Friday I got glamour shots of my 2 new pearl projects from John at Pearl Paradise. I usually wait till the package is in my hands, but I just couldn't resist sharing! The earrings are 2 white baroque akoya pearls pulled from my Pearl...

The mailman brought this beauty to my door this week ...

HELLO FedEx !

I was incredibly lucky to attend my first (2014) Ruckus in Palos Verdes in July, and am still overwhelmed by the generosity, kindness and beauty shared by Jeremy, Hisano and everyone at the Ruckus. As a "newbie", I arrived nervous, timid and ... well, terrified ... and left with friends! A few...

As a new member here, I hope it's okay if I post a few photos of my new Champagne Keshi & Diamond strand from Pearl Paradise (hoping I get the photo posting right). It seems more than a few of us were inspired by Hisano's Celestial Necklace, and I am delighted to have had her create this. I...
