Hi.
I've just started reading Jeremy's book and it set me to remembering my first pearls - them wot started the whole thing really. I dug them out and as I was snapping some pearls for an advert anyway I took a very quick pic of them.
They are really badly strung, gaps, the french wire is all stretched out, but for modest potatoes they have a good smooth surface and pretty good lustre. (not my stringing)The colour is an unusual champagne/straw/gold. I bought them as photographed and fell in love with pearls. That was about eight years ago.
A bit after that I found out you could buy pearls on eBay - I stayed up all night to bid on some crimson sticks - still have them.
And the rest is history, although I'm still surprised by how it has all developed since then
How about other forum-ers? Jeremy?(If I may be so bold?)
