May I ask your opinions? which looks better? I want to replace fakes with real pearls.

Provoked Baroque Tahitian ring? I'd love to see pictures, if you have. We know BAS is having wonderful luck with her White souffle ring, so I'm thinking Tahitians would do well, too.

Oh, it's ok; (not really, but) I have major appliances to replace, NO pearls for me... But who bought TAN100-1543? I hope it was one of us. Its awfully quiet here for just after the big sales. ??? Didn't anybody indulge??? Pretty please, share, Vicarious Enjoyment is holding its breath.

Speaking of Josh, isn't it about that time of year when we buy raffle tickets? The proceeds benefit third world countries, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the organization. Last year the wins were a Kamoka pearl, and a hotel stay in NYC I think. Does anyone remember the...

Sarah, that setting is lovely and graceful! I love the way the head inclines. Is this one of the pearls that fades with time? It's a pretty, delicate color, isn't it?
