BWeaves Amazing Journey to Japanese Pearl Farms

[lary007]

After last night's (25-June-2025) PP Live Event with the 20 year old high quality akoyas, I thought I'd dig out my 70 year old 5.5-6 mm akoyas.

My Mom bought this choker necklace when I was born, so 66 years ago.

I don't know why, but all of a sudden I am in LOVE with those old mikimoto clasps and have been looking for one!

I almost forgot all the gifts. Hisano and Jeremy had a huge tote bag full of gifts (chocolate) to give to all the various groups we met. And we were given gifts at various booths. One vendor gave each of us a large bag of his favorite tea. I received tea, pearl polishing gloves, a pearl pin, and a 4 leaf clover. I need to remember to bring gifts next time I go to Japan.
