John, would you consider an Etsy designer? If you look on Etsy for patriciasaabdesigns you will find a designer who creates beautiful work! I found her on the Pearl Guide forum and she is very nice to work with. If she does not have the color you are looking for, she can probably find some for you.
Just convo her and she will be happy to work with you. If you wish, you can tell her that Julie (Island Bound) recommended her and she will know how you found her. (I get nothing in return other than enjoying the pics when you come back to post whatever you find so please don''t feel any pressure!)
I bought an unstrung strand of pink keishi pearls from her and the pearls are gorgeous! Now if I could only think of a way to string them...
John, I suggest you "talk" to her. I convo''d her yesterday asking her permission to use her name on a public forum and she told me that she has a large variety of keishi in her inventory but has not made everything up yet so not everything possible is listed.
And if she does not have the tones you are looking for, she uses several suppliers that she can reach out to.
Regardless of who you find to work with, I''m sure this will be a beautiful gift! The efforts behind it assure that it will be well loved!
