"Would give a 10 if I could!"

I really didn t need another pair of earring but couldn t resist. I m sure glad I didn t. I never want to take these off. I love them! Thank you Ruben and Gilda Perez for this amazing work of art. These are truly the most beautiful earrings I own. These are simple but so elegant. Even better than the image shown. The color of the jade is so subtle but lovely. THANK YOU!
