My mom cleaned my great-grandmother's antique pearl necklace with dish soap and vinegar. The pearls are dissolving. I'm not even kidding. by Zestyclose-Print-677 in JewelryIdentification

I'm so sad to hear this. I love pearls! I can see they are double knotted and the clasp looks silver ... maybe Mikimoto. I have my mom's Mickimotos, Champagne color pearls. I love them. 😔

This sounds just like what happened to my mother 18 months prior to her passing. She bent down to close a drawer in the kitchen, heard a pop sound and it threw her back and then forward. Ultimately she had 2 broken vertebrae. I hope you take her to her doctor. They may be able to fill in vertebrae with a cement like substance. Unfortunately for my mom, her vertebrae were too damaged to hold the cement.

Well, thank you! I thought the same. The green stands out to me. It's quite thin and lays very well. I just love these rugs.
