The Necklace by Cheryl Jarvis

When Jonell McLain fell in love with a diamond necklace in a jeweller's shop window, she knew she could never afford something with such a huge price tag. It was the start of an intriguing idea. What if we all shared what we desired?
What if she shared the necklace?

Several weeks, dozens of phone calls, and a leap of faith later, she bought the necklace together with twelve other women. After all... what's twenty grand between diamond-lovers?

These thirteen ordinary women, from vastly different backgrounds, discovered that sharing the necklace was only the beginning - that the more they shared with others, the more their lives began to transform.

Patti, devout fashion worshipper, comes to realise there's more joy in giving than in buying the entire store. Lonely workaholic Priscilla had forgotten the delight of female friendship until she joined the group of women. And Dale, with the help of the necklace, recharged her libido and radically revamped her sex life ...

This is an inspiring true story about an extraordinary circle of friends - and how shopping for a necklace became an experience that touched the lives of a whole community.
