My ever lasting love for pearls

[leyhuong]

Hi all pearl lovers ,
In the past few weeks, I have been through a steep learning curve to acquire the knowledge to understand and appreciate all type of pearls and their beauty. The more I know, the more I feel strongly attracted and know that these gems will take a very special place in my collection. I also think that once you start loving pearls, they will bond with you and there shall be no stop.

I am totally in love with my newly acquired Tahitian strand and want to share that with you. This is my husband's marriage anniversary gift for me this year. Hope you will enjoy the photos. Thank you for a great community here with deep knowledge, insights and encouragement.

Oh My God. Does your husband need a second wife? But seriously, it does not get better than this. I am awestruck!

Now you must post a million neck shots, you lucky lady (married to a smart man who understand "happy wife, happy life"!).

Congratulations!!!

leyhuong -- Your strand is beyond stunning. Can you tell us more about it? What is the mm size of those perfect lustrous Tahitians, and the length of the strand?

I would really love to see neck shots.

Wear this amazing beauty in good health!

HOLY MOLY! Let me pick myself up from the floor....those are absolutely, totally, completely GORGEOUS! He did a fantastic job picking those out and how lucky he obviously went to a good source. Seriously, the ordinary pearls that you see in very nice high end jewelery stores is amazing and the prices are ridiculous. How wonderful that he found such a beautiful strand for you ! My kinda guy !

 

[LitGeek]

Oh my They are outrageously beautiful!!! What a sweet and thoughtful gift from your husband! Congrats and enjoy!

 

[YC]

It's really hard to find more beautiful pearls than Yours . They are stunning! You have the greatest husband.

Beautiful strand. Timeless and perfect for any occasion. Your husband is a keeper.

leyhuong - Your husband must really know his pearls! Those are amazing! Congratulations on your anniversary and many more!

 

[SMC]

Wow, that strand is amazing. Do you mind sharing where your vendor got it from?

Dear Bsomlo, dk168, ckrickett, Fly Girl, ltlmsmfft, 4Ranch Girl, katbran, LitGeek, YC, Niel, Confection10, NacreLover, pkinnew, SMC,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I feel very happy reading your comments/questions, knowing that I am at the right place where there are you sharing my joy and excitement wholeheartedly.

I apologize for a late reply because I have been busy on the road in the past few days. I will definitely post more photos of this strand during this coming weekend.

So the consensus is that my husband is a keeper and wonderful. I totally agree with all of you but would like to keep this a secret from him. I can get into trouble once he knows how loving he is and because of that he might refuse to see ‘room for improvement’

Last but not least, to wet your appetite, the specs of the pearls are as follows:
Size: approx. 12 to 14mm
Nacre thickness: average 1.3mm or 2.6 mm all around.
Overtone: Peacock (Fly Girl, you got me there  )
Luster: Very strong
Surface: Slightly blemished.
Pearl count: 33
Necklace length: approx. 18.5-19”
Have a wonderful day

[Fly Girl]

Thank you so much for the additional pictures of your beautiful Tahitian strand.

As lovely as they are on the neck stand, they truly come alive when being worn.

Enjoy your beautiful new pearls!

Fly Girl bsomlo, LtypeI,

Your kind comments and opinions are much appreciated. My journey with pearls is just at the beginning... I will have to learn a lot from you all.

Bsomlo,
Just so you know that I looked at your long hanadama strand the other day, it is beyond stunning and elegant. The way it looks on you must be fantabulous in any outfit!

 

[LaraOnline]

That is an absolutely magnificent necklace, congratulations on receiving such a gift!
