[B][COLOR=#FF0000]WARNING![/COLOR][/B] When mailing gems and eyes, do not mail them loose in a plain envelope. They will be squeezed out by the Post Office during transit! Susie recommends using a little padded envelope… or wrap them in bubble warp or foam first if you use a plain envelope.e warp or foam first if you use a plain envelope.
