I always thought GSS were unflattering to my skin tone until I tried on a very deep golden color. It might be a matter of finding the right tone but I know that's practically impossible to do online. I suspect you might just need more depth.
They are really pretty! They look to be a deeper tone than your mom's earrings but Takahashi is final sale, aren't they? I probably wouldn't take the risk unless I was pretty confident. Too bad you can't try them on virtually.
I considered that Takahashi GSS drop earring as well - it is so pretty. But I decided the pearls seem to be about the same color as my below shoulder-length hair. I worried that the pearls wouldn't be visible because they would just blend in with my hair. I'm hoping a PSer buys them and posts some ear shots as I'd love to see them.
I had deep golden SS pearls (pendant and drop earrings), which I thought looked great on me when I had medium brown hair and then light blonde hair, but once I transitioned fully to silver/gray hair, the deep goldens became unflattering to my eyes ... it was the green overtone ... I no longer wear any shade of green next to my face/hair, whether clothing or jewelry ... the green seems to drab out my whole look.
I did keep a couple lighter gold SS loose pearls, for a harvest-style bracelet I hope to complete this year.
@lulu_ma, maybe you could order a 2 loose GSS pearls from Pearl Paradise, one deeper and one lighter gold, and check them out on your skin tone/next to your ears before ordering the earrings? Just so you get the chance to compare colors? Or perhaps you could purchase two pairs of earrings, pick the set that works best for you and return the other.
