| Okay, the pearl has a lot of sentiment for me. It came out of a pinky ring my grandfather wore every since I could remember. He died 36 years ago. It's just a black pearl, I'm sure not a Tahitian, but it does mean a great deal to me. I had the pearl drilled all the way through and put on a 16 inch white gold chain. I didn't realize the damage and was quite upset about it. Another jeweler used the brackets (maybe they were only available in yellow gold?). And I really don't notice the brackets when I am wearing the pearl. It has been on a necklace for a few years now. |
