    EDIT - scrap that .... if you search pearl, it includes mother of pearl items, if you just look under pearl it doesnt (as far as I can tell).
    Does mother of pearl class as pearl?!

    I went with 224 but did wonder re tiaras and whether I should knock that amount off? Where has 259 come from?

    If you search for pearl 259 comes up BUT ..... THIS comes up in the search for pearls when in fact it doesn't contain any.

    259 was the number I got when I searched pearl on their website but then they posted that they weren't including mother of pearl so I went through all the 259 items & found just 6 with mother of pearl so my answer would be 253. Lots of people are going for 224 but maybe they took a different route. When I searched mother of pearl there were far more than 6 but only 6 were included in the original 259 so I'm sticking with my answer of 253

    I just clicked on 'Gemstones' and chose Pearl which gave me the 224. Oh well, I'm sure there'll be a dispute whenever they say what the number is :)

    They have said they are not including mother of pearl items ,but that still doesn't make the answer any easier to find as it could possibly be a few depending on what is included ,I have agreed with Lizd as 253 was what I got when I first checked after they said they weren't including mother of pearl
