If your daughter is into 'poverty tourism' ... there's plenty to do here too...

Very few blemishes actually, just mainly near their 'crowns', if at all. The pearls were nicely matched regarding color. Each voluptuous orb had a shimmer like a shiney new dime, like the flash of a silver fish in the curve of a wave, like an exquisite glimmer of the inside of a rain cloud, like, like....DING DANGIT...somebody come hide my keys and my american express!!

Dana,
My lovely 19 yearl old son just got back from teaching English to Tibetan refugees in India - maybe when your daughter is over here they could meet up?? Seriously, I wasn't "allowed" to shop for gemstones in Rajasthan due to my son's severe anti-materialistic tendencies!! I also figure he will never move out of home (kids here go to uni/college from home, mostly) as he will always be looking after the world's poor and will never ever be able to afford to!
