Thank you Caitlin, I'm glad to be here
Perlas, I went around Orchard Road looking at the pearl shops... these shops mostly sell gem and pearl jewellery with ropes and ropes of pearls. I looked for baroques and klonks... but they were in the range of S$150 onwards. And they were dyed blue, green, pinks, greys... mostly freshwater. Perhaps it's because they're catered for tourists. I'll take a look in Chinatown this weekend. But you know, I've just received my freshadamas and I don't recall seeing anything like these in the shops that are comparable.
