~~UNIQUE~ 16.3 MM SOUTH SEA WHITE PEARL PLATINUM RING~~

WHERE DOI I START WITH THIS ONE. I GUESS FROM THE BEGINNING. SOMEONE HAD THIS RING MADE UP TO ORDER, AND THAN COULD NOT PAY FOR IT. SAD STORY, BUT THE TRUTH. IT ENDED UP IN MY LAP. IF I WERE ABOUT 20 YEARS YOUNGER, I WOULD NEVER EVER PART WITH IT, BUT YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE AS OLD AS I AM~~~WHERE IN THE WORLD COULD I WEAR THIS. IN THE BATHROOM? IN THE KITCHEN~~SHOW IT TO MY DOGS. I HAVE LOOKED AT IT FOR ABOUT A MONTH, AND I KNOW THAT I OWN IT FOR A WHILE, AND IT IS NOW TIME TO LET SOMEONE WHO WILL WEAR IT AND ENJOY IT TO HAVE IT.

I TOOK IT TO AN APPRAISER ON APPRAISAL DAY (WHAT A JOKE) AND FOR A "C" NOTE THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE TOLD ME AND WROTE DOWN ON PAPER. THERE IS ALSO A STORY TO GO WITH THAT. BEFORE HE DID ANYTHING, HE PICKED UP THE PHONE, AND CALLED "MIKIMOTO IN LAS VEGAS" AND ASKED FOR A CERTAIN PERSON. I ONLY HEARD HIS END OF THE CONVERSATION OF COURSE, BUT IT WENT LIKE THIS "HEY MIKE~~~~DO YOU HAVE A FEEL FOR A 16 MM PEARL THAT IS VERY WHITE, ROUND, AND SMOOTH? OH~~YOU DON'T~~YOU HAVEN'T, ARE YOU SURE? OK THANKS I APPRECIATE IT~~~~~" END OF CALL.(ALL OF THIS TIME WHILE TALKING HE WAS RUBBING THE PEARL LIKE SOMETHING WAS GOING TO COME OFF LOL)
