Hi again, I tried cleaning the ring and took some photos. I hope they show the yellow color with pink tones I am seeing....

Hi Pearl Dreams, I dunno about the Green SSPs... I think they were dyed green :(. titus diamonds are short for small brilliant diamonds "brilliantitos" hence the word Titus :). do you think the pearls in the second link are also shell pearls? Jeangrey1
