My instructor was James Morse, GG. He was here for 3 weeks giving all kinds of other GIA courses also. I loved it when he said I was a GIA alumni now!!!

I agree, the color chart is fabulous--and all was very worthwhile.

Pearl Care:James suggested a "cigar humidifier" (not humidor) which I think holds those water loving gel crystals one moistens with distilled water, and they gradually release moisture for a month or so. That would go in the enclosed space with the pearls. Very similar to our members' suggestions. I will post this suggestion over in Pearl Care also.

I "googled" cigar humidifiers and they are inexpensive and appear very easy to use.
