Thank you Lisa and Jill and everyone at Danforth for the most beautiful
ring I've ever seen. It looked great on the computer and when it arrived,
I was amazed. Nice work and it's a big hit. Thank you again for getting it
here when I needed it. We will contact you for future purchases and highly
recommend your company for jewelry.
Sincerely
Dennis & Deanna

In 1554, Prince Phillip II of Spain gave it to Mary Tudor, Queen of England, at their wedding. However, while she was enamored of the Spaniard, he was less than enthused about her or her looks and left for an extended trip to his motherland. She died four years later and the pearl went back to Phillip who went on to create an incestuous clan. La Peregrina stayed with Phillip’s heirs until the Spanish Hapsburg dynasty collapsed in 1700, a victim of generations of inbreeding.
