    Newbie - first purchase questions

    Wendy gives some good advice regarding what to wear with the pearls. I also felt a bit nervous wearing my strand ....

    natural or synthetic nuclei?

    I would imagine that "pain" or some such thing might be one of the first neural sensations to evolve .... causing withdrawal or "running away", protecting the organism from dangerous stuff. I'll bet our beloved oysters feel some type of mild irritation in the very least when we open the doors...

    Expert advice needed please

    I've bought pearls from Pearl Society. The photos are accurate, and the pearls I received were all very nice. The vendor answers questions quickly, ships quickly, and the shipping is not too expensive.
