Part Four - Blaire and the Gem Faire
I'm done pawing through the bargain table. Now I make my way to the wall of pearls. Here the pearls are 50% off of the marked price only if you have a valid resale license.
By habit, I first look for the coolest pearls that I can afford. Normally I don't go for double drilled pearls, but the color variation on these reminded me of that terrific photo of the fireball pearls, which, of course, I couldn't find.

This strand was $20.00 wholesale.
Then I found some large baroques just like it for $8.00 wholesale.
Woo Hoo! I'm going to have some fun with these puppies!
I have to pick up these silver rainbow pearls at $6.00 a strand...
More pearls coming in part five...
