You have a lovely collection. Does the pearl that moved bother you? If not, then I would leave it alone. It’s such a pretty necklace that you should wear it. I’m realizing life is too short to not wear your jewelry. Surprise your hubby and wear it out to dinner![/

Thanks for your advice I’m not so worried that pearl has moved, as when I put it on you don’t notice but the clasp is a pin barrel so I’m worried it might come undone, but you’re right life is too short not to wear it!
You have a gorgeous collection of pearls, it’s becoming a hobby for me learning, buying & dreaming of pearls.

Around 28 years ago I was pregnant with my third child. My husband was in seminary and I was a stay at home mom. It was Easter and he gave me a pair of ruby, diamond, and pearl stud earrings. It was so extravagant and thoughtful of him. They were my favorite and I wore those earrings all the time. Well a few years ago we were taking our dogs on their nightly constitutional and when I adjusted my scarf one of my earrings got caught and pulled right out of my ear. It was dark and I couldn't find it anywhere. Both my husband and I were devastated. So began the search to replace them at jewelry stores, internet, and even thought about asking our local jeweler to replicate the missing earring. Well I was trolling eBay this weekend (looking at pearls and LV bags ;)) and spotted my earrings...vintage 80's studs! I mentioned the sighting to my hubs and told him he could get them for my birthday (November). He said he didn't want to wait and slapped his debit card down on the table and said order them right now! I just received confirmation that they were sent. I should receive them by Thursday. No they aren't the crown jewels...far from it, but they mean so much to me. Just wanted to share!
