Oh, thank you sooo much, ladies. Your kind and gracious comments make a difference. I appreciate the time you took to write them.
Karen13, the trick is finding dainty bracelets that are the right size. You can't even feel them on when they fit perfectly. I'd love to see your Mum's pearl necklace, and am glad you're wearing it.
Isabelle, so far, my pearl ring works well with my gloves. They are roomy because I have narrow and long fingers, which I think helps keep the ring in place.
Sterling, I chose the pearls too. 100% custom-made.
Sisi, I'm touched that you remember Jasmine & Rosie. Thanks for mentioning them.
Bijou, YES. Mum loved pearls too.
