Oh wow, Claire! That''s gorgeous, and what a special heirloom! DO you have a dress thread up yet?

Thanks selkie! Yup! Here is it! I tried on around 100 gowns I think and this was by far my favorite. I found it while shopping with my FMIL.

Clairitek''s Marisa 737 Wedding Gown

Just amazing, what a wonderful family treasure. They just don''t make ''em like that anymore!

 

[Selkie]

GORGEOUS dress! That necklace will look phenomenal with it. YAY!

 

[Clairitek]

Thanks again everyone! Who knew that my grimey necklace would turn out to be a pretty little thing. If only I had cleaned it up and learned to appreciate it sooner!

Now that I am finally in the black perhaps I will go have it appraised and insured!

About two weeks have passed since I promised everyone a neck shot. I still can''t find my camera charger but I realized I did have a semi-decent one taken with my phone just after I picked it up from the jeweler after it was cleaned.


So here you go until I can figure out where my camera charger is and how to manipulate the settings to get better photos!

OH my goodness - it''s stunning!!

I loved it when I saw the pictures on the flowers, but it''s even more stunning on you. I can''t wait to you reset the stone. It will look even more stunning.
