I'm not in the U.S.,Mervione, but apparently the day after thanksgiving is black Friday when a lot of people go Christmas shopping at the brick and mortar stores. On Monday they go shopping online, cyber Monday.

Hi Mister Hill. I just wanted to add another male voice to the "Wow that's great!" contingent. My son has a really nice black Tahitian pendant which he's really in love with. Myself, I haven't adjusted to the 'men wearing necklaces' idea, ..... But if I was given a tooth/horn-shaped paua pearl...

Thank you J Marcus for all the interesting info on pearl peeling, I'm sure many of us would like to see the videos if you can track them down. No doubt we're all dreaming about discovering a pearl like the one posted by NZNP, as well as going to the beach in Rarotonga!

Jersey cloth eh? Well it worked very well with that lighting etc., and as to fading ... well they look just great on my screen and I'm sure you've made us all jealous enough as it is!

That last photo was fantastic! (No frustrated photographer in sight!) What was the background? Was it cloth or paper or what? Thanks.

I understand the frustrated photographer in you, Sheryl, (I'm sure we all do), but they still look great!

I agree,Wendy,more surveillance camaras in Britain would be horrible. It certainly is disturbing,though,to hear of such abominations in a beautiful country like Scotland.( I feel it especially as I used to live in the village of Aboyne, just to the north of where the river is "born".) Maybe here...

Waiting patiently. Waiting patiently. Thanks for the update, Jeremy. I'm one of the hundreds (or thousands) wanting and waiting for the new course. I guess it's going to be a few months yet.

Thanks Caitlin, now I can share the joke!(Though I do feel like I made a real faux pas. I guess that's better than a faux faux pas, anyway. Good thing I'm not using a webcam otherwise you'd see I'm dyed red!)

Lovely string of freshadamas, Pearl dreams, just proves why just about everyone concurs that they're one of the best buys out there!

Great photos. I especially like the pearl on the enhancer, lovely shape, excellent lustre etc. What size is it?

Thanks, Caitlin. Thanks, Caitlin. Thanks for the brilliant photo,Caitlin! I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about until I saw that! Is it true that they only come from that particular lake? Why can only those specific FWs take the red dye. Please explain someone,thanks.

Thanks, Claudenancy, for the close-up photo and the extra details. Somehow it seems more beautiful when you better understand the make-up of any particular piece. It may not increase its dollar value but it certainly increases one's appreciation for it. Newbie or not you know how to pick a...

NZNP Thanks for the beautiful pics! Presumably they're paua mabes? I fell in love with paua many years ago before I knew about the mabes. We used to buy paua shell jewelry set in sterling silver, (in the U.K.). By the way where is Oakura, I can't find it on the map. I guess its not far from...

I just wanted to add my oohs and aahs. I was hoping you'd buy it and tell us all about it as you did but I was a little reluctant to encourage you to spend YOUR money to satisfy MY curiosity when I wasn"t really sure they were the real McCoy. I too would like to see pics of whatever waimeamomi...

Beautiful keshi necklace,Claudenancy, but could you specify if they're all South Sea keshis or just the ones in the flower? Also, about them glowing in the dark. Is that just for a few minutes after you put the lights out or all night long? Does anyone know why pearls would do this?
