I was telling Newberry today that I, like her sister, didn't even like pearls before, that now I know it was because all I had seen were of poor quality. What a difference when you see what they can really be!! I won't go anywhere now without something of pearls on, except haircut day - they wouldn't like that! lol I am now lusting after a blue/turquoise or purple Tahitian. There is no end to all the pearls I would love to have!
