I am off to the Intergem Show with high hopes.  I am wearing two strands of pink FW pearls that I had bought at the last show in October.  I am hoping to find more of the same.  I had bought 4 strands of these at a very nominally price.  They are very smooth ripples which I think are 12-15mm.  I have a feeling that this show will not be particularly good as it is right before some of the big shows in Hong Kong and Tucson.  I let you know.
