Well, despite my resolution to not join the "Bad Girls Bench" this visit, I caved for those two pieces, which - to my surprise - I already received

J287389, the textured convertible bail, sounded like a terrific idea . Making it possible to wear a variety of enhancers over larger necklaces. The texture is beautiful, and it has plenty of room to go over a multiple strand necklace. It even fits over the Michael Dawkins 4 strand pearl and chain necklace, and that is a big one.

the problem is that the O ring on which you can hang the enhancer is on the small side.( and contrary to the picture, it hangs down)

If the bail of the enhancer is around 1/8", it fits perfectly. If it is closer to 1/4", no way it will go through. By the way, the O ring is loose, so I intend to find one slightly larger. I may have to sacrifice an earring that I rarely wear.

J287389. the sleeping beauty turquoise diamonique pendant is beautiful and well made.

BUT.the opening is very small.. In addition the top of the bail is 1/4", which means that it will not clip on to ANY of the lobster claw clasps . I have tried a variety of necklaces and none will fit. Well, actually, it will fit over thin chains.

I will probably keep it, but I have to wonder : Don't they have test kitchens?
