Breaking the ice

[Adeline Leigh]

Hello Isabelle:
I And then you start to think, "Hmmm, maybe I should get something else." Maybe a strand .... Maybe a different color .... Oh lord help me, look at these sea of cortez pearls.

I am confident (somewhat) that after I receive my Sea of Cortez pearls, I will sink into a corner somewhere and retreat from humanity and just stare at them all day. Chuckle. No, really though, hopefully I will be done for a while. I will enjoy this forum, cut up my credit card, and behave myself.

We've all been there, Linda... I'm warning you; very slippery slope ahead

As for the second quote, I only have two words - "You wish!"

PG and the pearls are going to get you...

Yes, the SoC pearls amount to about 5 kilos a year of harvest for the round ones. Compared to millions of tons of freshwaters and at least a ton or more of SS and Tahitians. These pearls are rare. You have to be in the know to get them or just happen to be on the right cruise ship in the Sea of Cortez!

So count yourself lucky and keep saving up, because these pearls are never the least expensive ones!

IMHO, they are the most beautiful of all! Although most of the other pearls are good enough, these are really special.

The mabe pearls show the best colors for the best prices- a lucky thing- because they can harvest more of those compared to the rounds.

even better, 'both' is a good word on PG

Bet our collective bank managers wouldn't agree, though.

Wait, stop!!! I read the word "liquidation". What's this about, where, is someone pulling a leg?
Gotta be!

Adeline- I was going to say something like that ! PG and the pearls got me really bad! I'm hooked already. It's Better to admit this addiction, or else it could to be worst. Beware for the Bulimia of pearls! I've been awaken to all these variety of pearls, now it's too late, the damage is done, I want Hanadama's, SoC, SS's, Thaitians and more and more and alway more...

Hello everybody, My name is Linda, and I'm a pearlaholic ....

Hello everybody, My name is Linda, and I'm a pearlaholic ....

Haha! Linda, welcome to pearlaholic anonymous!

Defenately a new word to add to the PG dictionnary

[Caitlin]

ROFL!!!!!! That's a good one!

Hi Linda!

[Alex]

Hi Alex:
My theory, and please correct me if you think I am wrong .... my theory is that the SoCs are kind of still "unknown".
Once the world finds them, then I will be in trouble. I figure I better get a couple while they are still "cheap". Ha!
I love having something unique.
Have a nice day Alex.
Linda.

Hi Linda, yes, I think you could say they were a 'bargain' (which is not quite the same as cheap)

they are very very rare by numbers (which immediately makes them expensive) - but they nevertheless sit an an affordable level

if you really like them - check out this thread.....

Caitlin: What .... no one else came up with pearlaholic? Chuckle ... hard to believe.
Alex: oh yes, oh yes ..... I have seen that thread .... the thread I keep going back to .... the thread of my undoing.

Have a nice day all.
Linda.

So the PG vocabulary so far is......

Pearlography - GemGeek
Pearlitzer - Caitlin
Pearldar - Alex
Pearlitus - Wild Onion
Pearlicious - Isabelle
Pearlaholic - Linda

Ahem
I first used pearllicious on 8/12/08.
Pattye also used purplelicious, in the post before mine and was what inspired mine.

Also pearlitis is found in this thread starting in 2009. I thought I made that one up too, but I couldn't find it in the thread.

So, the spellings are new, the words, not so much.

But Please keep inventing and collecting them!!!
