Please elaborate. ---------------------- Like, if you pick up a silver necklace, the graphic is a a large loop (that goes around the neck) attached to a smaller loop that, presumably, is suppossed to hold a jewel. However if you pick up a silver necklace described as being "inset with 1 topaz", It makes sense for the topaz to be in the socket. But the graphic is exactly the same as the empty necklace. Am I missing something? 0_o;;;;

Answer:	If you mean the icon, then that was just the standard icon for necklaces. There is no way we would ever go through each object and do an icon for each possible description: Inset with four opals; Mounted with six diamonds, whatever. The icon is there to tell you what you have, but if you need to know it has opals, you have to examine it. Sean.
