No, this will bury you in things you don't want. It's hard to differentiate in searches. I used 'convertible necklace brooch'. I can think of...

Opalized ammonites seem to be relatively common. Have seen a huge one similar to this, in a museum display: [IMG] Was it the type of organism...
From time to time I put what you might call mini-quizzes into the Cameo Show & Tell thread as a way to keep people engaged when none of us has...
Saw that & thought of you. She could have a friend at your house. :kiss::kiss:
Separate names with a comma.
