My view of this stuff can best be expressed by W. Shakespeare "it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" But that is just my opinion.

I think I saw a process that looked like that in a movie. "Young Frankenstien" Maybe. I like the part where they say that they have office(s) in close proximity to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. I guess that makes all the difference. I do too. I wonder if Scripps knows how lucky they...

If I were you I wouldn't believe everything you read on a website.

Guess I am a little confused about this post. Are you saying you don't think Indonesia is capable of expanding their production? Or are you saying Indonesians aren't up to it as a people. I hope I am reading something wrong here. Unless you have some information others don't about pearling in...

Really a bad idea. They are shooting themselves in the foot.

Thanks, I will have to figure out something to do with them before they get in any worse shape. The two, the tiger and deer were done in Broome Australia by a local. They are about 20 years old. The Dragon was done in China.

I was asked about shell carvings. I have a few. They are brittle and I have broken them but this is what they look like

I think I might have an answer as to why the animals lay down nacre in different colors. I am thinking it's because some of our customers like GSS and Chinese FW, and some cutomers like SS and Tahitians. The wider the color range the wider the customer base. Hey, I know it's lame, but it's a...

You could be right but I am not sure that just because something is colorful and beautiful to us that there necessarily has to be any particular reason. Sunsets are beautiful and colorful. The reason for this is explainable scientifically but is there a purpose to the beauty or color? I think...

I doubt if the animal knows or cares that we are impressed with it's beauty. I think as Dave says it is simply a product produced for the comfort of the animal inside. I am sure the beauty of this nacre is probably only evident to us and has no other purpose then stated.

Just like PG'ers. We are all beautiful inside.

It's only been about a year that the border crossing at Luohu has been open 24 hours a day. So you might have been given some old information.

I actually just did it recently with a friend. There is an office right at the train station at the border. Depending on which country you are from you can obtain a short term drop visa there. I don't think there was much of a fee for that one. No problem for a short excursion into Guangdong...

Very easy. In fact I think Canadians can get drop visas from HK into China. China is inexpensive and travel in this area is very easy. Besides, I think they would arrange all the local transportation.

I couldn't tell if it was the pearl or the photo.

I don't know but it seems there are some oval shapes in there.

I would go with the Indonesian GSS. They just look better on me.

Oh you are in trouble now. Wait until the boss finds out.

More and more interesting. We at PG have been invited to China to visit a Chinese Akoya farm. It's only a couple of hours north of Hong Kong. I don't know but maybe this could be a mini tour. They are looking forward to hosting us so any thought?

Hah! I just like the pictures. lol
