Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Greetings Narsimhayeji, Could it be that the Blackish beads are heavier as they might have imbibed the Olive Oil, when it must have been boiled in it. Also if boiling the beads in either oil or water harms them, should I continue to wear the blackish beads which, as per my information have been boiled in Til oil or Olive oil before selling it ? This is a common practice followed by many dealers. Especially for Trijuti, they even advise us to boil in Water and then Oil for 5-10 minutes to check whether it is authentic and to maintain the beads. Regarding oiling the beads, we can also keep them immersed in Olive Oil for 1-2 days. However as far as I know everything has an expiry date, after which it becomes decomposed or harmful. Does Olive oil have an expiry date? How long can we store & use this Olive oil, in which once we have immersed the beads? I mean can we use the same oil after 6 months or so? Sorry to bother you with so much of queries, but I do not know a better and more reliable person than YOU, on whom I can trust.
