Medieval Momma says:Beautiful necklace! I love the aquamarine teardrops with the patina covered caps! And I understand the “oop” I’m still trying to figure out how to delete and all that technical stuff. It’s sooo embarrasing.

Deb Harding says:Good work with the patina. Your necklace is darling.
I’m laughing at the tech difficulties. Because i have them in here also. I don’t think you can delete comments though.
