The Pearl is one of the organic gemstones
because it comes from the oyster. It's part of
an oyster's defense system. When a foreign element
enters the oyster, it covers it with nacre
in layers. These layer formations form the pearl.

Oysters can be made by man by introducing a foreign
element inside the oyster...these are called
Cultured Pearls.

Fresh-water Pearls are elonglated in all kinds of
shapes and colors and are created on Pearl Farms.

The more perfectly rounded, the more valuable the pearl.
The higher the luster, the more valuable;
the bigger, the more valuable.

Pearls are 'delicate,' not good for everyday wear.
Do not scrub them hard or use ultrasonic cleaners
on them. Treat them respectfully.

"A woman without a ring is like
perfume without a scent"
maggieblue says that

~also~
"A ring without a stone has to be
heavy silver or gold, preferably gold..."
maggieblue says that too

~also~

Rings on the fingers,
rings on the toes...
but do not think
a ring in the nose.

A jewel in the nose might be nice
a diamond, sapphire, citrine
would suffice.

But pearls in the nose,
that's really a 'Tskkkkkkkkkkkkkk...'
Who has sniffed up a pearl
knows this is a risk!
maggieblue says that too

Au Revoir, Beloved.
