Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Thank you so much ladies. This one sold on Saturday! Can’t wait to make more with different beads.
One couple actually thought about it overnight and came back Sunday to purchase, but alas it was gone.
Not to worry though – they ended up purchasing a much more expensive ruby and pearl set!
