stinky pearl dilemma!

[Monty Hall]

Hope it works and doesn't turn the pearl brown 'cause a brown stinky pearl has no chance of redemption. It'd be a pearl turd and that's just wrong!!!

Hello
so any news from the odor of the stinky pearl?

The Gas Pearls thread of 2006-2007 also paid homage to the stinky pearl dilemma.

Must say, I'd forgive that big, metallic blue gas pearl if it spewed at me!

Sorry for the delay in reporting the outcome of the hydrogen peroxide soaking... I developed a head cold and couldn't smell anything. But now, I'm better and it appears the pearl is better too. It's completely dried out and odor-free. Don't know what would happen should it ever get wet again though...

It's not the most beautiful, but I don't have the heart to throw it out. So I'll just wear it for awhile and then maybe put it on a silver chain for my 6 year old. She's always wanting to wear whatever I have, so this would be a good compromise!

Sleight,

Thanks for the update! Your standards sure are high. That seems to me like a lovely pearl.

Just warn your 6 year-old about wearing the pearl while swimming with her friends. If it starts to stink up, she might have to wait 20 years before living that down!!!
