    You dont rub pearls on teeth that scratches them. Sheesh Feel for cold, examine the drill holes to check for fake nacre, feel the weight, look for knotting between, lustre etc.

    Loved this so very much I am going around now and putting my pearls to my teeth. My dear late parents visited Japan in the 70's and visited the Mikimoto factory. I have a few pieces but there was one item a Silver 6 pearl broch and I put it to my teeth and immediately felt the grittiness . THANK YOU.

    Interestingly, the baroque movement in the arts was actually named after a misshapen pearl and not the other way around-- great video though

    Keep up these little videos, Chris!! There is such little quality educational antique "content" online. Really there is nothing aside from the usual ebay/thrift nonsense. Now that you've teased everybody with the cameo piece at the end you should show off some Daum, Galle, and LCT! I'd make such a video myself, but as you know there's only so much time in the day when you've got a shop to run. All the best :)

    This is the first time I've heard it explained WHY pearls should be worn and how doing so will maintain their luster. It makes so much sense! When you said this, I immediately paused the video and ran to put my pearls on! They spend 99% of their time in their case, rarely worn. It's time to revive these babies! Thank you so much for such a clear, informative video! ❤

    What I learned when I lived in Newport, Rhode Island, is in the late 1800s Mrs. Ogden Goelet is the woman who owned the building that is now The Tiffany Building. It was indeed a fair trade. Mrs. Goelet also built the magnificent French Style Ochre Court in Newport, Rhode Island. That is where I attended Salve Regina.-The Newport College.
