You know, my daughter wanted one of those pearls and I just couldn't bring myself to get one because I remember they had them on QVC (and still might) where you would get the clam/oyster thing and a tool to open it plus a sterling silver necklace with a chain and little cage-type holder for like $35. So it seemed overpriced and not really terribly unique if you could get it from QVC. I guess I'm just a mean mom!Dont' worry, though, she got PLENTY!
