Jewellery of the past

I spotted Ralph last night as I was channel hopping. Noticed the pearls are still ringed.

Perfect round unpitted un ringed pearls would cost a kings ransom

Back in the day when Honora first appeared, no ringed, Ralph even used to say they discarded the ringed pearls. Then it was, oh people prefer them. My arse they do. I have a few of the invisible wire ones from them, and they are not ringed.

i remember when ralph would say they only used the top 5% pearls, got a feeling it was lower but Ive put 5% to be sure

I thought he used to say 2%, but as the Queen might have said, recollections may vary.

QVC used to do some really good jewellery but that was a long time ago. The Las Vegas and New York gems were beautiful, I have a couple of them.

i thought it was 2% i said 5% as like a safety number

I think it was too. And then it went up to 3%.

I have a few Honora items from a few years back, but prefer smooth round pearls or 'nugget' type rather than the ringed pearls.
I remember Ralph mentioning that they only accepted the top 3%.
