| Hi Valeria!
Thanks for noticing me enter your B&G.
The info I quoted on my web site, wasn't sumthin I made up. I did a bit of studyin on it.
After visiting the islands for 7 years (last 5 in my own boat), the GHG and I have met many of the locals. (Bahamas, Virgins, Turks and even Cuba). All the pearls on my web site were purchased from fishermen in the Caribbean.
The good news is - Many (as in several) were offered to me these past 2 years.
The bad news is - The conch fishermen I bargain with, are finding less conchs and as a result, far fewer new pearls.
The big one "Snow White" on porgybay.com, I just picked up a couple months ago as payment for a past due debt. With fuel prices rising and tourism down . . . as Cheech & Chong told us, "things are tough - allover"!
Now . . .
Since you're a senior expert at this stuff, can you tell me this?
How do I remove a330 epoxy from pearls and settings and my nose, after it's hardened? (could be worse. I've already progressed passed elmers and super-glue)
Best to ya dear,
