    Rare white conch pearls

    Wow. You can get these in lots of five! 7.46-8.89 for one conch pearl pendant seems a little steep when you can get a whole white conch pearl necklace and pendant for 7.99. These are a lovely dyed-like pink, though...

    Rare white conch pearls

    Never thought of that. It makes sense. 14mm certainly qualifies as a "klonk".

    Conch Pearl Earrings...mmmmm!

    Nora, I noticed the armload of conch pearl bracelets on Heidi in your pic! Odd dress. Looks very architectural. Something Art Vandalay might have designed.

    Conch Pearl Earrings...mmmmm!

    "Sconces"!! That got a giggle out of me. They would have looked better had she been wearing a dark charcoal dress of simple lines. The earrings really overpowered her fine featured face. Although beautiful in its own right, the conch pearl is notoriously difficult to match garments to and...

    Sotheby's in Doha

    You too? It wouldn't last very long at my place. None of the cats are declawed. Come to think of it, the carpet wouldn't last too long either! I'd have to get it put into a wooden frame topped with UV-ray blocking glass and add some legs to it. That would make one awesome coffee table the...

    Sotheby's in Doha

    I don't quite think the pearl carpet of Baroda should be referred to as the epitome of kitsch. That label is reserved for things like tiger striped synthetic fur inflatable furniture. And maybe a few things in my Slraep's Xmas Idea threads. Although the chair would be much more comfortable to...

    Nautilus pearl

    Looks like it has a shiny porcelaneous interior, but not nacreous. Hard to tell as I do not have one of these shells in my collection. If the interior of the shell is not nacreous and it might, maybe, possibly, by a long shot, be able to make an Argonauta a. concretion, the concretion wouldn't...

    Nautilus pearl

    A sea argonaut! Cute! An octopus that makes an egg case(the shell) to protect its larvae from predators and U.V. rays. The octopus uses the bubbles formed around the eggs to control boyancey and to act like a rudder. How fascinating is that? Yup, it's really more of an octopus than a...

    GIE Perles de Tahiti is Done

    GemGeek, what an excellent idea about effisk using his extrasensory powers for more than just SEE-ing when and where the best surf is up. I am wondering if I will ever make any money as a writer. Or at least start my own blog.

    Note in the edit: I added the cauldron and the tripod as an afterthought. Freaky! Then it is true, what SHE wrote about your ability to SEE! :eek: Slraep

    A Graphic Illustration of Ocean Acidification

    This is so sad and dismal. The situation is akin to a disease who's treatment should have been started long ago. In fact, the treatment that should have been started long ago, should also have been a seriously radical treatment. What to do now? My optimism at a solution has slowly been...
