    beautiful, beautiful  !!!

    I just noticed, she is wearing an earring of which I have a pair (but cannot wear them, as they are too thick to pass our type of ear holes).

    Eva, do you see the earring, like yours, This is also a lovely ring to take a soft shawl through. Remember?

  • Eva Baby July 30, 2014 at 10:05pm

    Yes, I have seen the earring, as I mentioned in my comment below yours. But I think it is not big enough to pass a Shawl through. at least not the ones I wear (I like big Shawls)........But I might try it once. The earring Looks fantastic on her, by the way!

    Eva, perhaps another hook soldered in just behind the disk?

  • ingrid Langerak July 30, 2014 at 10:12pm

    I think so too. It also is a set in beautiful condition.

    Yes, I remember thimble theme.

    The amber certainly is similar in type to some I`ve recently shown although I think this lady`s beads are larger - lucky lady!
