Wow!!! Got a spare one? lol

Looks fabulous. I wouldn't mind wearing that.

Ah, OK, fab!

That's a pity that it wont be available. I'd certainly buy some.

LMAO!!!! Fabulous.

How did I ever miss that one???? YES! It's a must. Thank you, Jeremy.

Thank you! That's what a dear friend in Corpus Christi always tells me lmao. As long as your meteorite isn't the Extinction Level Event type then it sounds very interesting. I saw Anna had a nice metallic 'something' with a pearl so that might be a 'should buy' later. If it weren't for the law...

LOL I'm usually unforgettable anyway - I'm told! Can't do the dentistry any more, sadly, wish I could. I've been thinking along much the same lines as you. I'm more partial to white gold or platinum rather than yellow gold. Having said that I sometimes buy gold (22K) in India and that's usually...

Yes, me too! lol I love that Cliclasp system. Any time I've worn something I've always wondered when it would disappear because the clasp had broken. I like some of the lariats I've seen and it may well be that in the future I can have loose pearls to add and subtract when the mood hits me. I...

By any stretch of the imagination I am liberated from constraint, shall we say, lol. I honestly rarely care about what I wear, not that I'm flamboyant or anything, but I'd like there to be a choice now and then. I would gladly ask for a piece to be made for me but I would have to leave it up to...

Thank you, guys, men seem to be lumbered with precious little compared to the ladies lol. At least you all went easy on me :D

Thanks again, Caitlin. I can tell I'm going to get myself into a world of trouble buying pearls this year lol! My shirts are made of raw silk that I bought in India - I might have to undo several for the silk because I'll have spent all my money on pearls... ;)

Where's all the men's stuff? Apart from single pearl chokers and triple pearl wrist bands - heaven forbid we call them bangles - where are all the designers? What are they all doing? I'd rather not have 3,000 variations of a choker. :)

pmsl!!!.............

Thank you for such a comprehensive reply! :) I hadn't taken perfumes/colognes etc. into consideration. I also couldn't understand why a lot of information was saying to put your pearls into their box when you take them off at the end of the day; I truly thought that you could wear them for as...

Can anyone tell me if it is true that by wearing your pearls for long periods improves the patina on them? Personally, I don't think it does as all the information about caring for your pearls suggests that prolonged wearing causes damage.

LOL I thought so. I think it might have been a film I saw it on and, of course, I believe EVERYTHING a film tells me ;) I totally believe, too, that a mouthful of wine can result in a handful of pearls!

OK, I'm all lined up for being shot for asking this question....but, do pearls actually dissolve in wine? I ask because I remember when I was a kid I was told that diamonds burn in fires and pearls dissolve in wine.

Thank you,, Jeremy. If I had the right drill etc., do the pearls generally drill OK or can the shatter now and again? The more I think of it the more I tend towards NOT drilling anything but my wallet.

Thank you! I found the Otto Frei web site a few days ago. If memory serves there seemed to be a few items you had to buy separately that added up the $$$'s. Another drill that's easily found was this one http://www.topearl.com/drill-machines-c-65_139.html. I think this one turns the pearl over...
