Suddenly, I was bitten by the pearl bug a few weeks ago. I visited this forum, and decided to start with a pair of Freshadama earrings.
Was very excited when the package finally arrived during the crazy holiday rush. Well, these are the best quality freshwater pearls I have ever seen! Perfectly round, and super high luster.
But, I just cannot like the style - I ordered the romantic collection. Mostly because the way how the diamond is attached to the earring appears like an eye that is sticking out. It bothered me so I decided to send them back.
Last night I took the pearls out to wipe them clean then to box them for shipping back. Then I noticed that the two pearls are of different color. I looked at them again this morning in daylight, still different color! The difference is greater on black background (the box they came in) than the white background.
Please tell me that you see what I see? The pictures are not edited in any way other than cropped and shrunk in size.
I am not here to complain about Pearl Paradise. I've spoken with Allison and Kim, both are wonderful and patient in helping me locating my set of WSS (I decided to go bigger). It is just the fact that these beautiful Freshadama do not match in color is somewhat disappointing.
In the same order, I also got a a pair of metallic lavender studs for my daughter. They are not metallic at all. While pretty in color, their luster is dull, especially when placed next to the Freshadama. I mentioned that to Allison and she said that she had seen that before.
So my first order from PP is going back. I hope that I will have better luck with my second order.
