Less quality versus fake jewels Archived Message

Although I find your observation correct, as to the quality of gem stones (more opaque is usually less quality) I must say I would a thousand times prefer a jewel with Real, yet less quality, stones, to the horrific plastic fake "jewels" that the queen sometimes wears... I find that quite uncomprehensible, since Queen Máxima seems to have a genuine love for the "real" and vast collection of jewelry at her disposal... None of those "plastic things" favours her, nor her position and status... As to these earrings, I think they are beautiful in their more rustic design and stone. A nice choice for a daytime event. --Previous Message-- : Opaque being a euphemism for low grade : quality. If these earrings would ever be : disassembled for reuse, the stones would be : thrown away. :
