I remember Grace Pearl talked a lot about bead-nucleated, round, FW pearls in Dubai. I stopped by and asked to see them, but they did not have any at the show. They are being a bit hush-hush about it, but they did say they were going to compete with the South Sea market. (Actually, I believe they said something along the lines of killing the South Sea market.) We'll have to see what happens.
Josh you have many many many fans... I just wish there were more avenues where I can oogle and purchase your pearls.
too late - we've been thinking for a while that is what their plans are...
Nucleated FWPs could take on SSP in size, but I've never seen FWs with that luminous white satin look. Is creating a market for big FWs comprised of people who can't afford/justify a round SSP strand technically "competing"?
Another not very well thought out, shoot from the hip gut reaction brought to you by myself.
Locales locals. hmm. I'll get this language eventually.Oh, and Mikeyy... I can see your point entirely, I just haven't spent enough time on the farms to agree. Maybe it's just that you like travelling to exotic places and meeting the exotic locals?
