Journey to Claire

Today we made a trip to the pearl and jade market.  Holy Cow!  These malls are close together and several stories tall!!  Luckily our guides took us to some of the more reputable shops so we could be sure we got the real thing.  At the first pearl shop, I bought a strand of pink pearls that they made into matching bracelets for Claire & I while we waited.  I also bought Claire a lilac-colored fresh water pearl drop necklace with matching earrings for when she's older.

At the next shop, I bought a couple of pearl rings - one for me and one for Claire (again, for when she's older).  Carmen bought a several rings in this store!

At the jade shop - it was all about me!!  I bought a gorgeous jade bangle bracelet.  I will probably give it to Claire at some point, but for now it's all MINE! LOL
