@MintyFresh what a cool combination I love the Amber that is very unexpected. I love it.

Very pretty, hope you enjoy!

I have not worn these round ringed for a while- from Pearl Paradise. Earrings from Kamoka.

Whatever they are, love the orient and strand!

Sorry for the delay in replying - I was out of town at a conference (and yes I did bring those pearls!). Without a personal computer, my typing skills are terrible on my phone. LOL, and beside the feverish stringing while packing to leave, I was advising my oldest (adult) son on how to be a...
