Blue-green Tahitian baroque studs from Pearl Paradise!

[SMC]

After buying the Tahitians for my grandmother, I asked Jeremy to match me a pair of Tahitian studs. I told him I wanted more vibrant rather than subtle colors, and he suggested baroque or drop dangles because there's just so much more color possible. However, I wear studs 99.9% of the time (the other 0.1% are my hoops and the pearl dangles I'll wear on my wedding day) so there was no way that I'd get dangles for earrings intended for daily wear. I asked if he could drill baroques and make them into studs, and he said he could. He matched a few pairs for me and this is the pair I ended up going with! Green is my favorite color and blue is my second favorite color - so these are perfect! These are 8.0-9mm AAA baroques. I can't wait to receive them.


I wanted to mention that he also matched up a pair of "super peacocks" which I was really tempted to buy too. Here they are! I hope that someone else on this awesome forum can snag them. He mentioned that he's going to make these into earrings too.

Thank you! I'm anxiously waiting for the "Your order has shipped!" email too.

Me too! I really want someone here to buy them so I won't be tempted. I'm also super curious for some "in real life" pictures of them.

Love them!!! I'll look forward to your ear shots!

Thank you! I'll be updating this thread once they come.

Thanks! Once I saw the color on that pair, I knew that I wanted it.

Thank you! I need to take a break to let my bank account recover. It will be awhile.

I feel you on that one! Although Etsy is easier on the bank account!

Those are a fab colour! Can't wait to see IRL pics and hear what you think of them!

Me too, I keep checking my email to see if I've received a shipment confirmation (no).

...and I feel like I need some South Sea pearls now after looking at your thread. It will never end.

Fabulous colours ! Can't wait to see the photos when you get them !!

I don't think I've ever seen baroque Tahitian studs. I'm very interested to see ear shots. I'm a dangles girl myself.

Beautiful color!

Thanks! I can't wait to get them too. I'm have a hard time taking photos of pearls, especially Tahitians. They always look so homogenous to me. I tried using natural light and indoor light, but I can't seem to capture the overtones.

Thanks! I think this may be one of the few times they've done it like this over at PP. They look like they turned out well though. I'll definitely be updating with ear shots when I get them.

Super rich colors! I have the feeling you will be VERY impressed with them when you get them home!!

Thanks! Does anyone have any tips on how to take photos of Tahitians so I can capture all the subtle overtones?

I've never seen baroque Tahitian studs before either but I think these will be amazing! Very colorful and unique! WHen do you expect to receive them?

They shipped last night! I should get them on Monday! Very excited.

 

[HHPmom]

Can't wait to see them. I've never seen baroque set as studs. The colors suit you better than the other pair. Well done!

 

[SMC]

Just got these today! I'm at work so no time for ear shots - will post better pictures later!

I love them and can't wait to wear them.

Gorgeous color! Can't wait to see ear shots.

I can't ever seem to be able to take pictures when it's actually light out (living in Seattle, the sun basically rises at 7:30am and sets at 4pm) so shots are in my poor bathroom lighting once again. I love the colors though - they are very obviously green on my ears, not dark grey like my grandmother's. There's an ever-so-slight rainbow to them at the ends too.

 

[bsomlo]

Definitely green! Wear them in good health. I am having the same problem regarding natural light -- I leave in the dark and return in the dark. I have yet to really see my new purchases in natural lighting...

 

[missy]

Beautiful.
Love the colors and its presence on your ears.

 

[LitGeek]

The green is so vibrant and gorgeous They look absolutely lovely on you. Enjoy!

 

[pkinnew]

I love the colors in your new earrings! They are a great size for your ears and really stand out. Congratulations!

 

[HHPmom]

Great choice. I would have picked the same one over the other. Dark peacock or cherry looks good on Asian only if it's a certain shade. Too dark the pink isn't glorified on the skin. Too pink it gets washed out. But green, blue green, fly wing green all pops. Just my observation. You picked a very pretty and unique pair.

 

[SMC]

Thanks for all the comments! I agree that this pair is definitely better for me. I'm wearing them today! It is yet another very overcast day in Seattle so no good pictures yet.
