callire, your strand is simply such a great buy!:woohoo: I couldn't even find any multicoloured round ones for below $500 when I went in!

I got one baroque strand for $400...this is simply too exciting...:yahoo:

^ Yeah, they sold out so quickly. I was lucky to get to the sale page an hour after it was posted, so some of the really good deals were still there.

Mine are 8-11mm graduated multis (A+ grade). The grade isn't fantastic, but they don't have many blemishes, so I think it will look great!

Thank you so much Callire, for your recommendation to these sites. These are what I got from the sale:

I feel so guilty because I also ordered a 9.5mm AA+ strand of grey freshwater for myself from the TPO. In addition, I ordered a freshwater bracelet and necklace for my aunt and my mother in law for mother's day. And less than a month ago, I also purchased a 9mm gemfresh 18" strand from TPO, another tahitian baroque strand and a 8mm 28" gemfresh strand. And that's not all - from my local jeweler, I purchased a 15mm pair of south seas (not top lustre but I was charged reasonably), a 10mm pair of pistachio pearls, and a 10-13mm strand of golden south sea baroque necklace! I am mad and I still can't stop myself from looking..:p

Pics everyone!!! Mine won't be here for a while because I used a debit card (so 4 days processing) and then the standard shipping. I cannot wait! Plus, they restocked some of the tahitians! YAY!

Now the only thing I'm wondering about is if I should get a AAA baroque strand instead of my multis. I'm just a bit worried because of the dramatic difference in quality since I'm such a purist. Maybe I should just wait and see?



(I def think I'll wait to see them in person, since they're such an AMAZING deal. I just hope that the quality isn't want kills it for me)

Pics please!!! :nuts:
I'm so jealous, I didn't catch these! Darnit! :p

Didn't you get the fireball strand too? I'm really curious as to how they look IRL. I'm thinking of getting a strand...They'd certainly spruce up a simple outfit!
