Hi Gemgeek,
What about the huge SS pearl. Do you still have it? How would one go about wearing it. Seems like something you would need a humified home safe for. Must be worth a fortune. Is it drilled. If it was mine I would probably just put in a jewellery box on its own and drool over it now and again.
Pity the Abalone is not yours. Oh well, later you may get one. I hope I will. Abalone shell I have a pearl no.
