Obama v. McCain: The Jewelry Debate

Here we have Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain wearing classic pearl necklaces. Who do you think wears more interesting jewelry in general? Let me know your comments.

Late update: On election night, Vogue is reporting that Michelle Obama wore diamond encrusted triple dangle, white gold earrings with pear, oval and marquee shapes at a price of $10,000.
