Nicole, my memory is so bad, I like to say it's like swiss cheese... with holes you could drive a Mac truck through.... I am constantly amazed at how people on this forum will remember little details about each other - and I am not so good at that. I admire people with great memories. Angie is particularly good at remembering such details.
But... I remember the pearl necklace in question because I love pearls myself, and when I saw that pic, I gasped and even forgot to breathe for awhile... it was just so awesome!!
I asked Angie on that blog where she got it, and she never answered. So.....
... so my speculation began!!
BUT... ultimately.... and especially after my Paris experience in the pearl shop...
I have come to the conclusion that this just may be Angie's signature piece, and maybe she doesn't want to reveal the details because she doesn't want a zillion YLF readers running out to get the same exact piece... thus spoiling her signature.
Which I could totally understand. And that necklace suits her completely, 100%. And if it was a sentimental gift (to herself, or from her hubby, or passed down) ... it was meant for Angie and Angie alone.
That's my story in my mind, at least!!
