and a steal at only $9.99 - great find :P

I think it looks mighty fine on your hand, so maybe a ring is the way to go, although it could certainly work as a great pendant too. Either way I can't wait to see what you do with it!

awesome pieces -both of them! Nice work Hisano & co.!

I have to agree, there's nothing sexy about the inside of a pearl. Put me in the "I don't get it" category??

Looks like you grabbed some great pearls, looking forward to following the progress with these - take lots of pics!

whoa, that's some drop! Treat her well!

wow, nice find!

Great Idea!

The chips won't track your movement. Its similar to how we put a micro chip in cats and dogs and the vet can scan them to get the owners info if they're lost and found.
