<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 403143, member: 5833&quot;]We never knew my grandmother to wear the strand of pearls my mother wanted so badly.&nbsp; Their existence was known because she is wearing them in what we think is an engagement photo &amp; the conclusion was that they were an engagement gift from my grandfather.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know who knew what.&nbsp; My mother, for some unfounded reason, was making the assumption that this princess-length graduated strand of good sized pearls, if real, could have been afforded by her father in those days, or ever.&nbsp; They did come in one of those lovely burgundy velveteen boxes with the MOP button for the latch.&nbsp; The store clerk did say they were good quality fake.&nbsp; I imagine it was only my mother who was deluded, that both her parents knew perfectly well what they were.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of good quality fakes &amp; beautiful boxes, has anyone else ever seen one of the &#039;boxes&#039; made for La Tausca Pearls?&nbsp; Veritable jewel caskets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
