If you are about to have your picture taken, sneak in a pearl ring, bracelet, or earring (if the full on pearl necklace isn't quite "you"), and you will have lovely skin tones result-- and give your photographer a helpful aid for balancing color in color photos. Try it yourself with your own digital camera and photo editing!Anonymoushttp://www.juanitahendriks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-8359883368322098932010-10-21T17:34:27.434-04:002010-10-21T17:34:27.434-04:00s.: And maybe you have had those pearls restrung? ...s.: And maybe you have had those pearls restrung? xoxoDuchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-76414164050362133972010-10-21T17:27:03.659-04:002010-10-21T17:27:03.659-04:00LAM: I would, too!

The olive green-blue-yellow shimmer of this color is perfect for many of my outfits. I don't have a blog or I'd post a picture! <br /><br />My return was white petal pearls that were too jagged for my taste and looked like teeth to me. Kinda freaked me out.

I get tons of compliments on it. FWIW, I had ordered a different necklace from them, and decided it did not suit me. I returned it with absolutely no hassle.
