I sent the pearls that were my 21st birthday present from my father to be restrung as they had broken!
They were collected for me this evening and I was warned they would be shorter due to the restringing!
They were however shorter than I expected!
The shop had counted them as 81 graduated pearls! I recounted!
Now only 79!
They were perfectly matched for colour and size and almost flawless! The missing pearls are practically irreplaceable due to their age and colour!
I also wore them at my wedding and my childrens christening!
You all know how I feel about my pearls.
What do I do now?
I'm really upset!
Should women have equal pay and opportunities?
Another week, another Tory MP sex scandal!
