Wait a minute! I told you so!
wiwiwi all the way home!
I know a lot of people who are happy with indifferent Tahitians. One of my friends is even really proud of her shell necklace she bought as a Tahitian. but they didn't ask me what I thought, and I didn't tell them. You had a jeweler say it was a Tahitian. and several others here say it wasn't. What I said, was,- if it is not clearly a Tahitian and not a freshwater, why pay a Tahitian price? Now that is expert advice.
I am old -and often crabby- I guess. People come here asking for FREE opinions, then argue with them, if it is not the answer they want. My tone of voice is perfectly pleasant, even if what I say is not agreeable- Oh, I see Wendy covered that already....mwaah!
