Good morning pearl queens.... Time to start a new thread I see. The coffee pot is on with a new blend from SB. Chocolate Pearl blend... Smells great. I will be around with the pot in a few minutes... Anyone for one of Crusty's freshly baked cinnamon rolls?

Hi girls! Newberry, that sounds so fabulous...I have an 18 inch tin cup with those size pearls that I adore...the idea of 42 inches of tin cup is making me swoon!

I know I am bad. Very, very bad {#emotions_dlg.devil2} I saw a special project on another forum made with very, very high luster small 8 to 9 mm white ss pearls that have the luster of the best akoyas. Weeeeel I am now going to have a 42 inch tin cup made with 25 to 35 of them. Oh boy. Ezzy weren't we just talking about not needing any more pearls?

They are so beautiful! Smaller pearls look so much better on me...I would LOVE a strand of these {#emotions_dlg.tt1} Congrats! Can't wait to see your new necklace {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

I just ordered my extender for my pearl strand! Pearl Paradise was so helpful. Thanks to all of you for your help. When I get the extender I will post a picture.

Nomoney, I'm happy your extender is going to make your necklace wearable for you. Many of us have custom items from Pearl Paradise so we knew they could make something for you also. We hope you come back to chat with at the Pearl Cafe soon. EZZY

Honora appears to have a buyer ...

Richline Group has agreed in principle to acquire the Honora brand.

The transaction is expected to be completed in July. Honora has been a family-owned and operated business for more than 60 years.

“A key goal of this acquisition is the utilization of our financial support and collaboration to fully champion Honora, as a brand, for domestic and international growth,” said Dave Meleski, Richline Group’s president, in a statement. “Honora expands our product assortment, positioning us as a [dominant] player in the pearl jewelry category.”

Honora CEO Joel Schechter and President Ralph Rossini will continue to run the company as a standalone brand within the Richline Brands division of Berkshire Hathaway Co.

“We are tremendously excited about our future as a member of the Richline Group, and look forward to leveraging their tremendous strengths as we continue growing the Honora brand to consumers,” Schechter said in a statement.

I read that in JCK magazine a few weeks ago.

The Richline Group, formed in 2007 is a fine jewelry manufacturer and marketer and owns LeachGarner, Inverness, Rio Grande and Richline brands.

Actually, Wilma sent the article to me. I had heard they were for sale quite a while ago.

Ezzy or Newberry do you have any info on the lovely tassle special necklaces? It sure looks lovely {#emotions_dlg.tt1} I heard that Jeremy is leaving for Hong Kong soon...can't wait to see what he brings back!

LitGeek, No I haven't seen any thing more about them. I was over at PP today looking for them. I wonder if they are stumped at making them. I heard the PE is over my way. Sure wish he would stop by for a cool Ice Tea, or something. {#emotions_dlg.wub}

Wilma and I recieved our creamy metallic pearls from PP. I have been away with DH and haven't had time to take photos to share. I am very happy with the color and length of these pearls. I will be able to wear them with the white metallic strand and matching earrings. They are smaller than the white strand but I don't think that would detract from wearing them together. I will take a photo later today of them together to share.

Yay Ezzy, so happy to hear you love your new strand! Looking forward to the pics Smile

I was thinking the tassle strand on the model wearing all of the June pearls on the PP blog was the strand Hisano was making...maybe it is very labor intensive or they needed more pearls to make the strand to sell? In any event, I can't wait to see it up for sale! I probably will not grab one, as I am hoping for a tahitian strand, but I do like to ogle the pearls and add them to my wishlist {#emotions_dlg.tt1}

My little heart skipped a beat this morning when I scanned my email -- "This summer, it’s pearl paradise...at 25% Off?" -- but it's an ad from Ross-Simons. {#emotions_dlg.blush}

Did the PQs have a nice Father's Day? I thought of you, dperry.

I like the PP blog tips on how to wear a 100" rope. I needed those ideas! {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Ennui a PP 25% off would definitely make my heart skip a beat {#emotions_dlg.lol}

I am not sure I could wear a 100" strand, I think it would simply be too heavy for me. I would definitely love a 50" strand of the 5.5mms though, as well as a 36" strand of smaller mm tahitians {#emotions_dlg.wub}

If I dressed up more, I might wear a rope. I think they would be in the way dusting and vacuuming the house.

Ennui, I agree, the styles they showed at the PP blog were very cute. Chenai is so beautiful anyway, but she looked so lovely with the ropes on.
