What are the designers smoking at Chanel lately?? Just how many logos can they incorporate into a ring before it starts looking like less of a ring and more of a logo in the shape of a ring? Well, they came up with this...

The necklace and skull have been done in the previous Xmas Idea 2007 https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/pearl-fashion-style/2035-xmas-idea-2007-a.html The shoe is crazy. I'll bet that too comes from Ginza Tanaka. I'm having visions of depraved champagne drinking. Slraep

Poor Jeremy.

Hmmm...who's the fire and who's the ice?? Oh, you mean the lunacy of the poster message. It would make more sense if they were culturing Tahitians in the waters around Quebec. Sort of.

Oh. You mean a blokey bloke like the new and improved James Bond? Except it's now Bond, Jeremy Bond.(sorry Gem Geek, it was too good to pass up!) Slraep

Jeremy is going to need a new watch to go with the new mobile phone and his new "Bond" image. So I found him this awesome thing.... http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Tima/158202

What Bong girl photo? Slraep

Why am I not on your "friends" list, you crazy French-dude(oh sorry, I mean Belgian) living near a castle belonging to a descendant of Jesus???? We go back a long way to more "lunatic" times on P-G. Or maybe you don't want to remember THAT.

Gee. I didn't even notice that! I kindda stopped watching after the new blood thirsty Bond stabs a guy in the neck. But I did notice that Dame Judith Dench was wearing pearl button earrings! Slraep

Yup, who hasn't. My husband is a Bond fan. But I am confused AGAIN as to why my sig. reminds you of Quantum of Solace. There is nothing "green" about that movie! Slraep

Maybe and maybe. You are meaning a mordant in the sentence above? Because a mordant and a solvent are different. Now I am really confused. Most mordants bind to protein not dissolve it. Okay, let's chalk this up to me not being able to read properly. Slraep

I dunno. I still don't get it. Because you can use a solvent that doesn't visibly damage the conchiolin on a pearl and the pigment dissolved in the said solvent would be a metallic salt, which is inorganic---so where is the dissolving of fatty acids into unrecognizable components happening...

They do have a list of pigment profiles from organic substances, if using spectrometry. Whether they can extrapolate to pinpoint betel nut, I do not know. Slraep

There are solvents that do not break down conchiolin. At least not visibly. I left some pearls in natural turpentine for over six months and nothing happened to them. I left another batch in cedar oil and yet another in pure orange oil and nothing happened to those pearls either. Even...

What is that you say---that traces of dye derived from an organic substance would go rancid on the recipient of the dye? The pigment in the organic substance is usually a inorganic metallic salt, and once you wash off the organic part, the inorganic metallic salts don't rot. Am I understanding...

Ummm...maybe your friend has been in contact with a nut called Zeide Erskine. She is an infamous pearl-crap scholar that makes up ANYTHING just to see if anyone will believe it. Slraep

I think I found something for you, Jeremy. This thing isn't going to automatically tack on that silly "sent from my iPhone" phrase after every message. No sir, this is one sophisticated--- in-your-face, and a mugger's dream---mobile phone. Price upon inquiry...

Hey, wait, how did that get here?!??!! http://www.amazon.com/FUTURAMA-ROBOT-BENDER-FIGURE-EXCLUSIVE/dp/B001DK71QM

We are star-sisters! I knew it the minute I saw your pearl laden sandals...

One shouldn't wear coloured stones until after 5:00 p.m. But pearls are day wear, so I figure, throw some pearls on something blingy and colourful, and voila, you're got 24 hr. coverage. The above only applies to "real" jewels. Slraep
