Swallowed stolen gold bracelets back on display

From the Associated Press:

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Police say a woman stole two 14-karat gold bracelets — by swallowing them. An employee at Hy & Mike's Pawn and Bail Bonds told police he saw the woman put the bracelets in her mouth May 27. Court documents say Salt Lake City investigators confirmed it by watching the surveillance video.

The bracelets, valued around $2,000, have been recovered. Police spokesman Jeff Bedard says he doesn't know just how the jewelry was collected.

Norma Porchas, 41, was charged with retail theft. She has an unlisted phone number and could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Porchas is scheduled to appear in court June 19.

And the bracelets? They're back on display at the pawn shop

Pearls and their Legends - Birthstone for June

One of my absolute favorite material to work with is the pearl. It's so amazing to me that they are grown inside of a gooey little ocean creature. Oysters are so ugly on the outside but produce this amazing little lustrous pebble.

And now we have learned to do so many things to the pearl..put in the oyster certain shapes so that it covers that shape in the lustrous nacre and we end up with coin pearls, square pearls, even heart pearls...

My favorite interesting shape is the petal keshi pearl (aka 'corn flake pearls') Actually keshi is a Japanese word for something very small, like a grain of sand. Now in the jewelry world its used to refer to a pearl with no nucleus or center. It has all nacre and is the result of the mollusk rejecting the nucleus yet it continues to make the pearl. They are very beautiful and very sought after so can be quite pricey.

Color enhancement has even doubled the fun with jewelry designing and mixing and matching with other stones and crystals.

Pearls like other stones have also been the center of many legends. The ancient Chinese thought that pearls were conceived in the brains of dragons. Certain Hindu writers have linked pearls with clouds, elephants, snakes, wild boars, fish but only sometimes with oysters. The Greeks and Romans thought pearls were born in oysters as a result of a drop of rain or dew having penetrated between the layers. The Persians thought the same but they believed that if a pearl was imperfect it was because of thunder in the sky. Stories like this certainly add to the intrigue for many pearl lovers.

The layer of irridesence that shows over the base color is what intrigues me. You can have two of the same base color pearl..but one has a certain color of luster and it totally changes it's look. And it can pick up a different hue each way you turn it.

Always stay tuned for beautiful and unusual pearl jewelry from
Jonara Blu Maui!

Paula Abdul messes up

Paula gave her thoughts on Jason’s first and second song when in fact the contestants hadn't even sang their second song yet. At her defense I'm guessing she already had notes and an oppinion about it from watching the practice performances, however Ryan Seacrest had only asked about their opinions on the first songs. Poor thing..she looked really confused.
