[Ansteorra] the Attack of the "Pearl Police"

[Daniel Gutridge]

I can also document diamond cutting in period.  I'm sure they didn't cut
them if they couldn't wear them.  :-)

WHAT!?!?!? No PEARLS or Diamonds????

(Thump - that sound is Xene fainting over in an apoplexic heap)

 The byzantines even had "glass" pearls made with ground up pearls and paste
for their horses to wear in their barding.  So, even *fake* pearls are
period...

ok - so I once caught a hospitaler telling newcomers that they couldn't wear
pearls or diamonds because they weren't period.
bad hospitaler - boot to the head
