Online Pearl Class from the Victoria and Albert Museum

[BWeaves]

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has a recorded online pearl class that I'm thinking of taking. It's 45 GBP, and you have a year to watch it. They have a bunch of other interesting classes on textiles and art, as well.

If you do decide to watch, it would be interesting to know if they fall in line with the gemmological sector in declaring porcelainous 'concretions' from conch, clam, cassis, scallop, melo melo, etc. as 'not true pearls.'
