I am trying to decide if I should have picked up the Tahitian with pink sapphire versions. I am probably going to change the earring, as it fell out of my ear 2x today in my office (scary).
Welcome back katkashmir, your little h geode jewels will get lots of looks and questions i'll bet. Lucky you, I just love them. Congratulations!!!

juliebeth -- lookie what a friend of mine just posted on Facebook! As if he'd heard my remark yesterday about what your pearls remind me of!
JB, thanks for posting this for those of us who missed this drop.
So, did any PSer buy this? Please share photos if you did. It's amazing.

Everybody's purchases are amazing, I have now a list of wants that gets longer by the post, thank you for sharing! 
I may have purchased that blue freshwater soufflé pendant. ?? I don't know for sure but I did receive a confirmation email back, we'll just have to see. When I can back to the forum, & saw the posts discussing it & JulieBeths photo, I hopped over to the sale. It showed as not sold!! So I quickly bought it. So we'll just have to see what happens come Monday.
On other news: my first pearl purchase arrived last Thursday: Akoya drop earrings, silver blue Akoya baroque strand, as well as an Akoya drop necklace.
Learning the pearl ropes here with this first purchase: you cannot double up a 35" strand as I had imagined, which is fine. I now would like to get a few other strands. What a dangerous hobby this is, the pearl world. Now I get it, the love of these beauties!!
I also have learned a bit about the sizing: a 9.5mm is ok as a drop, but larger would've been better. The necklace & earrings match.
I love the look of the pastel Tahitians--they are so pretty! The scheming begins.....

Katkashmir, your pink geode earrings are so stunning. I saw them IRL, and pictures barely capture their sparkly beauty.
Juliebeth, I love your collection of loose Tahitian pearls. I had that 9.7 mm dark beauty in my cart and wondered where it disappeared to. You must take a picture of those pearls in a martini glass, sans vodka of course.
Sarahb, congrats on your purchases. Now we must have pictures.

Pearlie is here and she is really quite special.
Super quick shipping to UK, thought I would be waiting another week. Got a card in the postbox this morning saying package waiting at local post office so jumped in the car and was so excited I opened the package in the street, admiring pearlie in shop windows as I passed by.
I wanted a pendant with a bit of attitude, and this is one gorgeous SS orb, it has a lovely silvery lustre and the engraved bands really make it sing. It is nice and weighty and hangs and swings beautifully.
Here are a few shots: the first with the chain it came with, second snuggled up with my PP south sea dangles I bought about a year ago and never posted (amazing quality), as I was cutting flowers for the house I couldn't resist a shot with my favourite dahlia, and last ones how I will likely be wearing it, long and layered with my fave silver chain.
might have to post the last two later on as having a few problems loading them

Pisces, I love your "octopus."
Pencilcase, congrats on finally scoring your pearl.
I finally managed to successfully check out 2 items last night:
10.3 mm Tahitian baroque loose pearl:
14.9 mm Encircled Collection WSS pendant with rose gold:
I'm not sure what I will do with the loose pearl, but I liked the shape and color. As for the pendant, I have been wanting something with rose gold. I have another WSS drop pendant of about the same size, in white gold, so I may try to add a second smaller pearl to make a two-pearl Encircled pendant like the Tahitian one I missed out on the 1st day of the sale. The pearl on top could be another WSS, or maybe a black or silver Tahitian.
Two-pearl Encircled pendant I wanted (10.4 & 13.5 mm):
