The last pair of earrings are lov...

Although the photos are small, this one has a pretty decent slideshow in it from which I'm showing you my favorite, a peridot and Brazilian opal and diamond necklace so use the link to check out all the other items in the slideshow via the link. At least when posted here the photos are a good size. ...
