I haven't the faintest idea where you might find such a pearl, but you could just try eating a pile of them in the hopes of finding one. (Any excuse really, they're supposed to be quite tasty.)

I think we all took one look at that strand and then imagined slowly running our fingers over it's smooth surface and... Uhm!:eek: Back to reality. Verdict is in: you've got some fab pearls Cathy. (I'm just a tad jealous, :rolleyes: just a tad)

Ah... the ups and downs of globalization. But seriously, if we had primitive communication and transportation, the same economic problems would have completely different effects on the world as a whole.

Nice odds and ends! I just love making things like that where you get to play around and let your inspiration run wild... and end up with a nifty little work of art!

Fantastic color! Pity they're coin pearls.

If I could choose, I wouldn't pick either the baroque or the round. Keshi are my fav!

I like the comment that things will be better after the elections, but, I thought that this extended beyond the states. Some sort of economic collapse of global proportions. Although I sincerely hope not.

If memory serves, those are the most appealing earrings I have laid eyes on. Thanks for showing those pic!

Your absolutely right! I guess in my mind "abalone" and "natural" have been inseparably linked.:o

Hi guys! I?m back :o (was sick). I realize that culturing abalone with nuclei is not possible because they are hemophiliacs. However I was wondering if any of these treatments might be helpful. Artificially adding fibrinogen and pro-thrombin to the wound (or blood, if that is in any way...

Just a quick question. Is it better to learn a bit of Cantonese or Mandarin before going on a buying trip to China?:confused:

So... if you only pick one... where will the others end up? :D Personally I'd go for either of the center two. On the other hand, could you make a four strand necklace just as it is? I don't know what that would match, but it would be a gorgeous necklace.

If I'm not very much mistaken, Jeremy made a similar necklace, but a tad bigger... I think. I don't know the size for sure, but I'm willing to bet its one of the largest in world. Hm... more giant necklaces to drool over.

Thanks! By the way, in that photo, the hand rail is right in front of the words. My sketch only has the top half because the rail covered the bottom.

If you couldn't find a picture with the symbols I can give you a hand drawn sketch. However as you can see there is only half of the symbols visible, I've no idea what the bottom half looks like. Still a translation would be fantastic.

It is in the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth. If I find out any more I'll post back. P.S. There are Japanese symbols on the bottom (you can't see them in your picture,) can anyone translate?

When I hold Freshadama beside AAA freshwater, the first thing I notice is the surface. The AAA can be minimum 95% clean, where as the Freshadama are usually exceptional 99% blemish free. So you will still see a pit or two and a few wavy lines on the AAA, where as the Freshadama will be pretty...

I meant "please elaborate on the chandelier incident":rolleyes:.

Such rich colors! I wasn't a big fan of the chocolates before, but now... well... they're growing on me.
