Started the day by calling back to the first office to pay for (ouch) and collect my stash. I picked up some classic white metallic round strands…’double-double’ shiny AAA with matching pairs of half drilleds. A special request. Plus I was wearing a pair of big pink drops from here and succumbed to a few more pairs.<\/p>\n

Having paid I quickly escaped before I could be tempted yet more. I went to the office of a big supplier, from whom I had bought in the past. But their behaviour last year and this means I won’t be going there again. Several staff members carefully ignored several customers and left us to one new employee who had been there under a week.\u00a0 i found one paIr of souffle pearls and played with some 10mm natural colours AAA rounds but found no pairs.<\/p>\n

\"These<\/a>

These souffles were shiny but the colour was a bit weak.<\/p><\/div>\n

I (and the other customers felt so dismayed we didn’t buy anything. Never iond. This company is, as far as I know, a main supplier for a big company so we small fry are not important.<\/p>\n

Feeling glum I went finally to my favourite south sea supplier. Dark tahitians were muddy but I found some lush lighter multicoloured rounds and baroques.<\/p>\n

\"lighter<\/a>

lighter shades of tahitians were much more attractive than darks, which looked muddy<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Trays<\/a>

Trays and trays of south sea pearls<\/p><\/div>\n

And some fun gold south sea ripples. Just the one strand. These aren’t just baroques, they really are like ripples. In spite of poking though every tray of pearls I could not find any other similar stands<\/p>\n

\"Is<\/a>

Is this the first ever gold south sea ripple strand?<\/p><\/div>\n

Finally, some big tahitian buttons which will make amazing earrings<\/p>\n
