The filigree design mixed with the diamonds in this ring  is exquisit. The picture doesn&#8217;t do justice to it&#8217;s sparkle. I think it would make the the perfect right hand ring, especially for the middle finger.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.qualitygem.com/2011/12/pats-favorite/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Raffle Winner!</title><link>http://www.qualitygem.com/2011/12/raffle-winner-2/</link> <comments>http://www.qualitygem.com/2011/12/raffle-winner-2/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:56:36 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>julie</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Contests]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Pearl Event]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Pearls]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Raffle Winner]]></category> <guid
