Hi Boo, I for one am in favor of the baking polish. It is more natural, and I usually get a brighter polish than from my polishing cloths. I have tried toothpaste, but I have seen some scratching on some flat surfaces. So I don't use that anymore. Although I am not so sure about baking soda...

LOL, Knotty, you have tears running down my face from laughter. Love the G.I.A. unofficial definition. Black market pearls huh? Off the street? Sounds shady! What a wonderful story. If Jeremy has time, he should give him a little call. Or invite him to jpin us here on the forum! :D

LOl, I love these photos, Cailtin. Is it just me, or does it look like a lump of wax? That's the only thing that will stay in my mind, a cold lump of wax. MAybe if it sells the buyer will show up here and tell us about it. Wouldn't that be interesting.

Hi Kari, Oh, I am so thrilled to see you posting here. I put up a link to your site in the beginning of May under a thread called Interesting Pearl sites. I was hoping more people would reference other good sites for reading, but my post remained solo. :( But I am so glad to have a chance...

LOL, it is totally perfect!! Honestly, some people have too much money for their own good it someone buys that. If someone combined the two, they could put the quote,"Beauty is only skin deep, ugly is to the bone", but change it to "...ugly to the brain." Lol, that is the best I can come up...

Wow, that shine is just fantastic. Talk about mirror! And what colors! Yes, Caitlin, we will all be waiting for results on this one. Mainly though, I just want to read your first impressions when they arrive.:D

After reading these posts, I looked again at Jeremy's photo and I can see a bicolor pearl. It is towards the middle of the second strand from the top. It almost looks black and white to me. The way the photo shows on my screen I can't discern the colors very well, but I can see the difference...

Yeah, Wikipedia. The problem with that, from what I understand is anyone can submit an article if there isn't one already on a certain topic. I had the feeling it wasn't really fact checked in general, but only if someone reported a problem. :rolleyes: It is sad to think of all the school...

LOl, sorry Knotty. I think you misunderstood me. I didn't think you were being sarcastic at all. I was happy you laughed. ;) I was just wondering if you knew who I was comparing Wiki too. I was just(perhaps lamely) trying to continue the joke and have you quess my edited comparison. Sorry...

Hi Knotty, No, I know many families have records. Mine has been traced back several hundred years, but Lao Tzu is believed to have been born between 600-300 B.C. I find it hard to think many families would have documented unbroken family lineages going back more than 2000 years. I mean, if...

Hiya, Nice coin pearls, but I prefer the rose keshi you posted, what, two weeks ago? Those were spectacular. These are nice, especially if the price stays where it is.

Well, one thing I have to agree upon is the reliability of the carbo-dating. And since pearls would be from an organic source, they certainly seem to be a good candidate. However, I am not sure what to think about the whole Lao-Tzu connection. I am actually surprised someone claims to be of...

Oh, I would definately go for a shot of the two together. What a wonderful comparison in style they would make. I'll be patient, I promise. As long as it is coming, I'll be good.:o

Wow, Valeria, those are amazing!!! The bottom middle one almost looks lke a sunrise to me. The future of pearls keeps getting better and better.

Hi Steve, Thanks for the neckshot! It certainly helped my perspective. It certainly does look like a formal piece, and paired with that shirt made me chuckle a bit. Someday maybe we can see it with a gown to set it off properly. See how I am? I get the picture I asked for, and immediately...

Hi Knotty, Wow, if those were the AA's, I can't wait to see the AAA's. But *sigh* I will only get a brief peek. I did order them as Mother's Day gifts. My mom was totally delighted with hers and my mil's is on the way. I had both sent to my mom's house in the States so I wouldn't have to...

Hi again, Knotty, quick question, are those the AA+ or the AAA. Just curious. I ordered the AAA's because the price felt like such a steal. Thanks Jeremy!

Hi Knotty, So glad to see your picture. I had ordered a couple of those strands myself for my mom and mil, so I am glad to see they look so lovely.:D

Simply gorgeous!! But I would still like to see it on a neck. ;) I always prefer necklaces that way, it gives me a better feel for the overall design. Good luck with the event and I am sure we all wish we could be there. I hope it gets all the attention and appreciation it deserves...

Mine is there as well. :D
