I agree. I'm a fan of the orbit clasp. The shiny ball clasps are thin gold that get dinged easily, too. The ball on the matte ball clasps seem a bit sturdier. And I've had to "open" the tongue many times on the ball clasps for them to continue clicking closed.
Yes, the nicest peacock strand I've ever seen. Each and every pearl is magnificent. baby nurse -- they are simply magnificent on you. This particular set you created today is just beautiful.
Please buy them so I don't. I just bought a strand of the Vietnamese akoya. I've always admired those and will finally own a strand. So summery to my eye.
