| Hi, I got a lapis and Mississippi slug ring that is good for almost nothing but use as a weapon or for weightlifting. Any takers? Zeide |

| Hi Zeide What are Mississippi slugs? Are you saying those wrinkly pearls are slugs? I'll take a photo of your ring- email if you wish....... Hey Bogus Whoever said you'd get a bargain on eBay? Most of the time, I think you pay at least market value.

| It's still there. http://cgi.ebay.com/Art-Nouveau-Natu...QQcmdZViewItem Guess ebayers agree with bogus. I don't, I'm afraid; I don't like the ring much at all. |

| Oh well, I can't dislike the vintage English setting - IMO, it is as much of a staple design as a Tiffany six prong solitaire... just a prim and proper (and therefore not too interesting) way of setting three stones. The wrinkly pearls are appealing, but I have no clue of their value. One thing I wonder is how could one evaluate them properly in a closed setting like that - what if the backside is all a mess? Would they still be worth 10k then? |

| Zeide - I would love to see your ring, if you have a picture, because I have always wondered what the pearl history books meant by the term, "slug". Thanks - Annie |

| Caitlin, The ring is beautiful, but the price is too high. As you see, it is still there.... I would love to have it myself. Why don't you try to make an offer? good luck, nora |

| Zeide, I'll take the ring (if I can afford it!). I live in L.A. and weightlifting and weapons are all the rage here (plus I'm fascinated by native pearls). Drop me a line if you haven't a change of heart or someone beat me to it. |

| Hi Nora I never meant to bid on the ring, I posted because the seller claims it is an American-grown pearl. I think it is way overpriced, even though it is probably rare, if authentic.

| That is a very pretty ring. I like it better than the slug ring for sluggers I first put up, though I am very interested in any pearl that claims to be American in origin
