You can see that the earring top on the right was replaced.


And these are not the original earrings, but the pearls are old.

These are two of my favorites, but the jewels are amazing. Enjoy!

What grabbed me most was #247, the Star of Kashmir.

Can't access the catalogue when I tried a few minutes ago, boo hoo!

The necklace in the cover must be quite significant/substantial for it to be on the cover, can't wait to see the results!

Just seen a vid of the highlights for their upcoming sale in Hong Kong later this month, and one does not get to buy many pieces even with a multi-million lottery win!!!

Oh yeah, that star of Kashmir is really something. Blue velvet!

No lottery money here, but if I had some, I would make sure I had a decent retirement fund. Then I would renovate the outside of my house. You know -- things that would eliminate as much worry from my life as possible. And THEN I could help out a few homeless pearls looking for someone to adopt them!

Somehow I find it almost scary that there are enough people out there with enough money that so many expensive gems can be sold...
