Thank you, everybody! I've had the dress for quite a while, but it is nice to have the perfect necklace for it. I got the sunstones from Pattye, by the way. I knotted between each pearl/sunstone. The knots partly disappeared into the holes of the sunstones. The goldens are very lovely, and, yes, quite a lucky find. Even before I got them strung I kept getting them out and playing with them. Thank you!
