Carol, you were absolutely right! The [Amy Kahn Russell] necklace is definitely beautiful. The gold and bronze tone pearls, along with the unusual shaped turquoise beads, make this necklace so elegant. I am thrilled. I especially appreciate all your input and emails. It is hard to shop for a jewelry item without seeing it in person. I will be shopping for another showstopper at The Nautical Rooster. - Sue, Hawaii
