Last year, I decided to treat myself to an SoC mabe pearl. I told myself, this caps my pearl collection.

How often have we told ourselves that?

Anyway, I have since fallen in love with mabes and blister pearls. After Douglas told me that he had SoCs that were not on display at Perlasshop.com, we started a correspondence that led to this:

That blister pearl at the bottom caught my eye. Douglas says that the "coppery blue" blisters and mabes come along every 5-7 years, so I decided not to wait that long for another specimen.

Here it is up close.

It will be in my hands by next weekend. Cannot. Wait.

Ooooh, a beauty, can't wait to see what you are going to do with it.
 
Thanks for the vote of confidence. What will I make of it? My mind says pendant. My heart says ring!
 
I say ring. Go with the heart!

Also, putting a cap on a pearl collection, what does that mean? ;)
 
I've heard of Caps on a pearl collection, but to the best of my knowledge, it's a strictly theoretical concept.

I think it's a perpetually moving target.

enviable choice, Cyndaco, as in "I'm green with Envy".
 
Yeah, I can't even think of how many times I've told myself that I don't need any more.

And I don't-- until I see something new that I love! :rolleyes:
 
I'm glad I'm already sitting down, that is wonderful.
 
Of course, now that I've calmed down, I realize my photos are so bad. But thanks for sharing my exhilaration.

This behavior, much like drunk texting/sexting, is it common? Is this drunk pearling?
