Nora, Have you seen Bodies in person. We went to it in Las Vegas. It was very interesting and we were not upset until after we left. We were hungry but couldn't eat anything but salad. Everything looked like their preserved flesh. ICK.

Reading this thread doesnt seem to go very well with my morning coffee, lol!
What an ingenious way to deal with imperfect tahitians, ringed and crowned with diamonds. Wonder if it will sell.

Too bad the luster of the nacre doesn't really show in those slices. Interesting concept. What caught my eye was the teardrop-shaped nucleii in some of the pieces featuring sliced Tahitians. How common is it for odd shapes to be used for nucleation in those pearls? I thought rounds were always used in cultivating salt water pearls...

gosh i can't decide if i LIKE those or not! i keep going back to LOOK at them though! that should tell you something!........ i've always thought some of the baroque tahitians look rather 'animalistic' so i think it works with those shapes...... very organic.......

(Guffaws) Well not to me; they won't! As if they were in my budget, lol.
These are what I call "subversive pearls".

I hate to shock you all, but to me they are butt-ugly. Why not cut kidney stones and mount them with citrines?
LOL! Now that's an ingenious idea. You know how some goths wear a vial of their own blood around their neck? Imagine boasting of wearing your kidney stones and some druzy diamonds, merrily tinkling away in that vial with every step you take!
