    Natural Saltwater Pearls from KC Bell

    Thanks, I’ll try them. I also have to research on money/purchase transfer as I’m clueless about how it’s done. I wish one of my daughters had wanted the necklace but they both said they didn’t want the responsibility. Drats. Would have made it easier for moi!
