This post is a nod to one of my favorite types of Tahitian pearls: baroques.
By definition a baroque pearl has one single trait that other pearl types (round, semi-round, semi-baroque and circled) share: no axis of symmetry.

A friend of mine sent me this photo because I'm a huge Conan the Barbarian fan. Haha, not really but the trailer sure looks like fun.
These are some circled pearls. The ones in the background are in an oyster shell. Circled pearls have rings that pinch into the pearl and strongly affect (for the best) the color. Circled pearls are often the most lively and have more character than other forms of pearl with the possible exception of the free form baroques.
This past week we set pearls and work aside, packed up the car and headed for the mountains. Summer is fleeting here in the Pacific North West so we have been itching to get away from our home in Portland to enjoy it. There's much to do here of course but having back-packed with our parents, Celeste and I were both keen to get our kids out to see what the higher elevations of Oregon had to offer.
This is a photo I took on my last trip to the farm. The shine on the buoy is from a full moon that came up a little before the sun went down over the land.
Last weekend I joined friends in the pearl community for good times and pearl-related activities in LA. The party was hosted by a good friend and retail pearl genius Jeremy Shepherd of Pearl Paradise.
