Yes!

On my visit to see Sarah several years ago, I ended up spending several hours going through a couple of her "seconds" bags of Japanese kasumi, picking out a few pearls to buy. I love them so. Such fun. Since then I have gotten several Kasumi pendants, a Kasumi keshi necklace (a prize piece!), and a stunning Kasumi bracelet.

Something will catch your eye, I'm sure. Looking forward to seeing your report.

I'm thinking of the ladies and hope they are having a great time! I hope traffic was light. (Ha! As if.)

many pictures were taken.....
but not by me!

Did you have fun, MZ? Did you buy anything?

4Ranch Girl · Apr 2, 2015

The day was perfect for the Bay Area and the traffic was bad so we were almost an hour late. Loved Sarah's new studio and all of her pearls. MZ and Sheri joined us for several hours with lots of ooohs and aahs.

Sorry this is fuzzy, but here is Lucy at the front door of Kojima Pearl Company. We had to get a photo of the sign....

NacreLover · Apr 2, 2015

We could hear laughter from inside as we got close to the door and we knocked....
Sarah opened the door and we all squealed like pearl pigs. Sorry again, fuzzy photo, we were so excited to get in the focus was not on our radar.
