(Well, I am impatient bc this was a Valentine's day gift, so take it with a grain of salt) I assume I will incur the cost of the bale.
Yes, you are kind to check in....communication has been a bit slow TBH...
First I was told no pearls were removed and the bracelet was finished and would ship out (sometime?) this week.
The the last update was that a pearl was indeed removed and it actually got lost in the shuffle with blackouts in Portland...I had asked that any pearls that were removed be seen by me first, and saved for me because I'd like either a pendant or leather bracelet made.
Apparently it was the worst pearl of the group, a dark circled pearl with mediocre luster. But I won't know because I didn't see it, but I trust their judgment.
They are trying to make it up to me and plan to select a nicer baroque or circled pearl to replace it and asked for color preferences (I said my favorites are blue, blue/green, blue/purple, or rainbow - so multiple colors, just nothing silvery / pale). I requested that whatever this pearl is, it be set in a simple 14k gold pendant so I can wear them together!
Haven't gotten any updates yet since my last request. It is a small operation, they have been very nice and I think the issues stateside with ice storms made things complicated. There was some delay too because the clasp I ordered wasn't in stock and had to be special ordered.
Long story short...I am eager to get this wrapped up!
Oh fun update - they are making me a pendant at no extra cost using this pearl:
That's lovely of them - and that's a lovely pearl!! I love this drop shape, super chubby and pointy on the one end
Oh boy oh boy!!!!
IT IS HERE!!!! IT HAS BEEN HERE FOR HOURS!!!!!
My husband had received it midday (?) and forgot to mention it....men!!!!!
I love the new clasp, and it fits perfectly! Pearls really are so hard to capture - but this bracelet is stunning, and the pendant goes with it perfectly!
Had a curious onlooker...he was watching my husband unwrap the box while gnawing on my office chair....*sigh*
....this teething monster is not getting anywhere near my arm!!!
Just out of sight was my cat trying to play with it. Oi vey! Haha/
They arrived and they are beautiful!
How wonderful to have a lustrous work of art, courtesy of mother nature on your wrist. The blue and green pearls are beautiful and so is that gold/rose bi-colored pearl. The pendant is gorgeous as well.
The teething monster- what a sweet and happy face! You can tell that fur baby is well loved and happy.
it’s a very special piece, my first pearl bracelet and Valentine’s Day gift to boot!
And it looks like it fits really nicely now!! 
And I’m pretty sure we have the exact same baby gates in pretty much every entryway for pretty much the same reason... And the number of times my husband has forgotten my packages and left me stewing over their whereabouts...
