@CANV you have uploaded a PDF, which is a file format, so it won’t embed as a photo.

If you upload a standard photo format, such as jpeg or png then it should embed perfectly

Thanks Roy.  Yes it went well with the duckbill shoes and purple flares

When I was sixteen, after my exam results we went to a Christian rock festival to celebrate. I got my left ear pearced and bought a sterling silver dangling earring. I looked a complete pilliock and took it out after a day. Still have it today in a box somewhere.

Wore one in my early 20's but was actually gold, was so cool me until it was lost/stolen from my bag

Did buy a few when starting collecting silver but paid over top but made my money back in end, I actually like the pendants myself no idea Why LOL

When I look at some of the things students wear these days, like Fila, Kappa, Ellesse shell suits, guys with their hair in curtains, girls with nose rings, I think ingot pendants are perfectly inoffensive.
