Ghastly?! No way! I especially love the warm colors of the first pic you're in contrasting with the cool blue of the necklace. These pics are pure pleasure, and you're getting them with a laptop? Wonderful!
Oh please...ghastly ... don't be silly. They look lovely on you ! And the colour is really pretty! More silvery blue that the recent photos we've been seeing. Though I suppose that could be lighting. You are right about the drill holes..the necklace pearls don't look to have holes that large.
