Some of you know the hummingbird story with me. I stumbled across this gorgeous pendant on eBay:

Emeralds, citrines, blue topaz, and tourmalines. Isn't it just exquisite? I can't wait to get it!!!!

And yes, I have a new real hummie this year (I haven't seen any of the old crew from last year; they're supposed to return to the feeder site each year). Her name is Kallista("most beautiful" in Greek). I finished planting the hummingbird garden on June 5th, which was the first anniversary of Mom's death. The garden is in her memory.

Perfect!

lovely

You are going to love this necklace! I have it and have really enjoyed wearing it. It's substantial but not heavy, and it sparkles so much. I, too, have a thing for hummingbirds...so much that I got one as a tattoo in honor of my Dad. Some Native Americans believed that the hummingbird was the messenger of the soul; it makes me like them even more.

It's soo pretty! Please be sure to post modelling pics!

It's really pretty!

Have you purchased from this seller before and do you recommend this seller? This is probably not the thread for it (SORRY!!) but, I didn't want to create a new thread.

Thanks!

Pretty!

No, this is my 1st purchase from them.

I just found out through another member that the stones are not as advertised, so, sadly, I will be returning this necklace. Even though it's a beautiful necklace, I don't like being deceived--and he's sold others, and may sell more. He also has coordinating butterfly ones, so I hope he'll be honest, and revise those auctions, too. I really wanted genuine tourmalines. The stones are Swarovski-coated topazes.

Please see my other post about the stones not being what he said they were.

OY, so sorry this happened to you! Thanks for the heads up. What a hassle it is to re-package and send back

Please disregard my other post. I explained the problem to him; he got onto it FAST, and issued a full refund with an apology. He said they usually make their pieces, and this was 1 of the few they bought elsewhere, and they were told the stones were real. he said he would check into the issue about the stones.

If he has anything else I like, I would buy from him again.
