Hi, Waimeamomi,
Is the South Sea keshi in the top 3 photos of post #19 the same pearl as the far right one in post #14? If so, HOORAY!!! I started to read this thread way too late and, when I saw post #14, hoped that you had gotten that pearl.
It's a real find, that one (well, all of them are, but that one speaks to me!). I'm glad you got all three of the big ones. Sueki is right--life is short! If something brings you happiness, by all means, get it!
