If we're talking about the same strands, they said some will go up this evening.

That's good to know. I'll keep watch for them. There hasn't been a new release on the VIP page since the 23rd.

Please tell me someone got one of those Edison strands listed tonight!

 

[86Corvettegirl]

I want one so bad but can't swing the expense right now, although the price is a good one. Especially after purchasing the blue Akoya. Wish PP would make some metallic drop earrings. Those colors are so fantastic that it's hard to choose. They went so fast!

I tried for the very purple one, but narrowly missed out. Those went fast! Also - I get it; they are very special freshwater pearls, but I already struggle a bit to pay $1000+ for a single freshwater strand... Call me uninformed.

All the Edison strands were sold out by the time I got there. They have some incredible luster!!! I hope whomever purchased them will share photos!

BN, I did end up buying the akoya strand afterall. I can't wait to see it in person!

Just one word "Wow"! okay maybe a few more, you look great in those pearls they really pop!

So I got my first goodie yesterday (6-7mm Vietnamese strand) but the lighting was so bad I couldn't get a good picture at all.

I promise I will have DH take better pictures of it on when he gets home tomorrow. For now though...

 

[BlackPearlDudeDC]

Thanks, I can't wait to see your shots! PP sure did tease us...the new Edisons (purples and burgundy) up are amazing. It is a bit overwhelming the pearl lust that is!

I bought a strand of the deep lavenders. I'll post a picture when I receive them.

I also bought the undrilled loose lavender fireball. I have a special place in my heart for fabulous fireballs...

I never even saw the Edisons. Those went fast. I think they're too big for me (read "heavy), but boy were the photos of them gorgeous. I want to see neckshots of everyone who bought a strand so I can live vicariously.

BN, I'm on the fence about the baroque akoyas. I sent a message to PP asking for closeups. I wanted to see their shape before getting them, but they sure look pretty. Please share your pics!

Sorry amti, I’m just seeing this now! I bought mine Saturday so they haven’t shipped yet. But i’ll post pics as soon as it arrives! Which is likely around the time yours will arrive, but oh well : ). The more pictures the better, I guess!

 

[baby nurse]

I can’t wait to see neck shots of the Edisons. The colors and overtones on them were fantastic!

 

[86Corvettegirl]

Those Edisons just blew me away!! No surprise they were snapped up so fast. Count me in on waiting with baited breath on neck shots of those beauties!

BN, I was told I got the last strand, so it's good I went ahead and bought them. I sort of wanted two to make a rope, but you snooze, you lose! I think BW has a nice strand of baroque akoyas that I admire, so I did want a strand (or two!). Can't wait to see all your purchases!

Thank you! I am quite enamored with it!

I received this strand when it was already dark outside, so here is a shot under kitchen lighting. I placed it on my triple lavender to show how truly saturated with color these pearls are.

 

[lary007]

Wow - those are stunning! I didn't even know they could get that dark.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

OMG!! BAS, those are breathtaking! The color is phenomenal!!! I can't wait to see neck shots!!

 

[Andrew M]

An in the box shot of the Tahitian strand for mom - light was a setting sun. They are really incredible. It's hard to believe pearls can look like this!

 

[lary007]

Oh. My. Lanta. That strand takes my breath away, Andrew! The colors!!

Andrew, I can't believe my eyes. You're blowing my mind.

What a wonderful son you are!!!
