Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Nancy, I was going to type “What, no earrings???” — then I saw the second, third, & fourth photos! LOL
I should have known better….. 
This set is so beautiful! I love pink & purple — separately and together — so you KNOW I’m in love with your color choices! The prehnite rondelles add a nice splash of pale green to your fab design, too!
