The pearls pass the tooth test. These pearls are very similar to pearls that I bought from a reputable dealer at the gem show a few months ago at a significantly higher price. I’ll look more closely.

I just returned from Hong Kong. This was the starting point for our cruise to Vietnam, Thailand and Bangkok. Our first tour in Hong Kong was to the flower market, bird market and a brief stop at a small indoor jade market. As we were getting off the tour bus for shopping at the jade market...
