I would love a pair of Cortez mabe earrings in white gold, perhaps I can save enough to treat myself to a pair eventually.

Douglas has a very good imagination for certain!

DK :D

Or a deformed newly hatched chick, like the one I saw splattered on the ground the other day, dead.

DK :p

Wow!

Looks like a deformed Nessie, the infamous creature that allegedly lives in Loch Ness in Scotland!

DK :D

It may be big, however, it looks rather ugly to me, sorry!

DK :)

Lovely birthday present indeed!

I believe the clasp is likely to he platinum too, and very nice too! I could be wrong, however, it could be Art Deco period.

Awww, I hope she'll treasure her lovely presents for many years to come.

It always intrigues me to see how the same size pearls appears differently on people depending on the size of their earlobes.

The lovely 10mm pearls earrings as seen in recent threads (one for...

DK :D

Good luck with restoring the power! Hope it is not too hot and humid for you without air-con!!!

Thanks peeps!

I could not part with the bug last time when I needed to raise money, hopefully, I don't need to sell it anymore.

I no longer have the vendors' pics, so please excuse my poor quality photos!

My two strands of baroque Tahitians, the smaller one was from Pearl Source via eBay, light bluey green; and the larger...
