Neither Cortez necklace had sold by the end of the ruckus. I notice that Blaire's photo of the mabe necklace has popped up on the Pure Pearls facebook site yesterday. I thought the mabe strand was quite affordable, was very colorful, and I considered it, but I had my heart set on the mixed round Tahitians back at Pearl Paradise. The mabes are incredibly beautiful, but this necklace needs fit your style.
If any you reading this thinks this is for you, please follow up on it. It would be great to see it being enjoyed by someone on the Pearl Forum.
