Tucson Finds - Taiwoo Pearls

These were some of the most interesting pearls in Tucson...I think they would be great with broom castings!

In either the thin brown with green gold overtone or the thicker multi-colored ones!

...and these are the ones that I call "messed up coins" they are the rejects when two shapes grow together...

OK - before you all think I am nuts with my reject pearls....some lovely teardrop pearls - the luster on these is wonderful.

...and these are the dainty top-drilled rectangles

TGS - PEARLS!!!!

I found a pearl dealer with DEEP stock - you do have to order from Hong Kong (I asked if they needed a US agent - HA!).

Taiwoo Pearl is out of Hong Kong and carries pearls in a variety of price points, colors and varieties.

From their $1 per strand - by the hank...

...to the $2 per strand - by the hank...

....to the $3 per strand - by the hank... No - these pearls aren't perfect but in each of the price points they range from about 4mm - 10mm, in an array of colors!

From there prices go to $5, 10 & 20 per single strand - they carry gorgeous - close to perfect strands 12mm at $120 per strand! They also stock Akoya, South Sea and Tahitian Pearls.

Coins in the regular 12-14mm and in the fun tiny coins (8mm)

They also carried fantasy shapes and colors...yes - that's a Grande size Starbucks cup - I wanted you to know how large these were!

These crosses and double rectangles were interesting - I really love the raisin color in the front of the photo!

Who said brown pearls were hard to find - they have a range from champagne to dark chocolate!
