I love the gold HW!!
One other thing you may want to to consider...
I have some cultured pearls that were given to me as a gift and I never wore them. I thought about selling them for a minimal amount on eBay... just to make a few dollars and build up my FB rating.
I looked on eBay to see what they're going for and there were so many pearl auctions at a ridiculously low asking bid, I didn't even bother listing mine, even though I would have listed at the same low starting bid. The other pearl auctions weren't selling and I knew mine wouldn't either.
Now... if you wanted to re-sell your Chanel fake pearls, you may not get all your money back, but I bet you'd get a lot of hits and you would probably be able to sell them, unlike my 'no-name' cultured pearls that are still sitting in my drawer somewhere.
