Davao South Sea Pearls

03.25.2023 by Leah //

You all know that I collect south sea pearls but set in earrings and rings.  Many times I've been tempted to buy a necklace but I am not a necklace person, and will probably wear it on special occasions only so I thought it might not be a good investment. But this year saw me attending formal events for work, and there are weddings to attend as well.  Also, we have ... READ MORE

3-Way Emerald and Pearl Earrings

Sometime last month, I found hidden among my jewelry cleaning clothes a pair of pearl jackets I have used for another earrings (now sold).  The pearls are of south sea variety, bought in Davao City.
