| Personally, I love "carrot's" pearls. Do you hate that version of your Name, Care? My daughter called you that because she misheard me saying saying your name correctly. (We have some posts about nicknames on another thread and the recipients often do not love them.)
I love the way Care has relationships going back many years with Mar de Cortez Perlas , and others, and that she features Josh's pearls too. I too, pick up her enthusiasm/passion for pearls from her ads and just ignore her ratings.
When one sells designer pearls, as hoards of folks here do, even if they are commercial grade pearls the finished products don't need a grade. They just need descriptions and photos.
Those commercial grade pearls often have excellent luster, it is usually shape and less luster that gets them dyed and sent to the GL&W and other such shows.
PS Even if some people are critical of her sytem of grading, I meant only nice comments about Care's style. I am entirely inconsistant on this, but I bow to her designing skills.
