As I mentioned in my previous post about stopping at the island’s 
Anyway, the Love Pearls…in each box there is an oyster [real] floating in liquid alcohol mixture. Release the oyster from its sealed container and pry it open with the tool provided. You will find a real pearl [yes, it’s real ‘cause once opened, there is oyster meat inside] also…kinda sicky/slimy looking…and I sure as heck refused to smell it!!!! There are different colors of pearls. Each symbolizes different things…
WHITE: wisdom
CREAM: success
PEACH: health
PURPLE: wealth
BLACK: love
I’ll take you through the steps to find what’s hidden inside mine….
The oyster
The pendant [Water Carrier - Aquarius] and the warning label on the oyster container. "Ya, like I'd try to eat this? I don't think so!!!"
Oh, lookie, lookie!!! A pearl!! I'd say cream colored*, wouldn't you?
All cleaned and ready to place inside the love pearl pendant. [somehow...I haven't got that far yet.] It'll take me a while to figure out how to unsnap the pendant and latch it without the pearl falling out.
That was fun! I've always wanted to go searching for a real honest to goodness pearl. Mine's rather shaped oddly....but, that fact is fitting, I'm odd and been called worse.
By the way, the purple flower at the beginning is a butterfly bush blossom....at the walkway to go to the mermaid fountain outside the shop.
That is really cool. Now we know, since you got a cream colored pear, that you have success in your future. Or maybe it's for the success you have already achieved?
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of somewhere I went when I was maybe in high school or a bit younger. Can't remember where it was but there were girls who, for a price, would dive for oysters and give them to you to open.
I've seen them dive for oysters too. For a price.
DeleteIt is so beautiful. Definitely cream colored. :-)
ReplyDeleteBud's was white.
Deletethis reminded me of my mother, she and her dad used to dig for clams and gather oysters, in Florida you can wade and find them... they lived 2 hours from the river. I have never seen anything like these purchases you made, did not even know they exist. I wish you success.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know until I found them at the store.
DeletePearls are my very favorite organic gem. Next favorite is amber. Isn't nature wonderful?
ReplyDeleteI have an amber pendant (baltic)...with a bug in it. An online friend sent it to me for my birthday years ago...from her home country...Denmark.
DeleteWhat fun! This is totally cool! And they come very beautifully packaged too. I think this would definitely classify as an adventure!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the ram & bull...aquarius, not so much
DeleteI'd like to do that pearl thing too. I like the color of yours and the unusual shape too!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but aren't fresh water pearls odd shaped?
DeleteNow that's something I've never done!
ReplyDeleteTha anticipation is quite addictive. lol
