Thanks for the answer, appreciated! That's their price after 50% discount... I don't know why the stores here regularly declare 50% sales though! Instead of straight to that price.

Great fresh story about silly things!

I was yesterday discussing pearl matters with one of my colleagues in the cantine, while another one (who was first listening very attentively from the next table) approached us with a following question:

(...are you all ready?...)

"Is it true that with a help of pearls one can bring back the lost colour of teeth? Just brushing them with a pearl powder, or scratching pearls with you yellow teeth?"

Ha! Maybe if you grind them to a powder and brush with them-- they might be mildly abrasive-- but why waste pearls when baking soda will do the same?

To be fair: isn't there a little bit of truth....
Boy, I wish that were a more widespread belief. Then I could get naturals for much lower prices than cultured!
