I hate to be annoying, but I've been so sad that the Amara Tahitian Pearl necklaces will no longer be produced. I was told that the discontinuation had to do with both the cost of clasps and a derelict pearl-stringer - but surely there must be other pearl-stringers in the area, and other clasp options? Less, perhaps you all could sell individual half-drilled pearls, for those of us who like to create for ourselves an endless line of projects?

So ladies and gentlemen, can I get a petition going on bringing back the Black Tahitian Amara's?

My crazy MIL strings pearls for a living in Colombia... not that such information helps anyone........ lol

I string pearls too, but not for a living, for fun!!

I would love to set a black Tahitian in a ring!

I'd love to buy an Amara Tahitian necklace. I don't want to make one myself, but if BTD were to offer complete necklaces again I would get one.

i used to knot pearls. it's extremely addicting, but with a baby i can't do it anymore

I should have asked you to string some for me with my pendant in the middle! Who knew we had such talent here?

Yes, please offer the Amaras again (pure pearls, rings, earrings, ...)!

I am pretty sure this is a black Tahitian pearl pendant that I have. Is this the type of pearl you are talking about?

If Amara Tahitians were offered again I would buy one. I had it on my wishlist and was so bummed when they were removed!!!

Correction - I would buy more than one. Score some major points with female relatives....

I feel your pain, Yodge. I joined the forums and barely started learning about pearls, and POOF, they were gone. I'd love a necklace made of them.

I concur! I've been waiting to get one (southsea pearl necklace) and now no more!!! Can we just buy the pearls and string ourselves?

I really wanted a white pearl necklace but when I seriously thought about buying one they were no more!
So yes please bring them back!

i would loooooove the tahitians to come back! i agree there has to be other stringers in the world and other clasps.

they are so pretty i hope to own a strand one day.

Oh no! I just opened up this forum to learn about the pearls before buying a necklace set and matching earrings for myself and soon to be mother-in-law (who will also be getting married around the same time as me). My mothers pearls were lost and I really wanted the traditional look of a fine strand of pearls on my big day :'(
Since brides, seem to be a large chunk of those who get drawn into the stimulant arena and then hooked as repeat customers, it only makes sense to keep up with the pearls! What's more classic than pearls with a wedding gown???
