Howdy "Wilma".

Wow, they look good. Impressions? Love 'em, or not?

icy -- they are over-the-top and my first impression is laughter (at their craziness) and that I love them! NO ONE has commented on them at work. I'm not sure what that means. I guess they expect nothing less of crazy pearl lady...

It's ok, you have a host of imaginary friends to help you with that... :tongue:

Woohoo! They look amazing on you! :love: :appl: :appl: :appl:
And we NEED more pics! Neckshots, paper towels, comparatives against your other strands. Erm, did I miss anything else. Oh, both against your ripples and the souffles pls...

Comments:

1) The earrings are not heavy at all. But the pearls pressing below the throat are heavy. I'm thinking they might be more comfortable over a turtleneck. I wore them for 10 hours or so today. Maybe they're more suitable for an evening out. I'd like to see them at night. I bet they are reflective and glowing -- like my souffles.

2) Kevin is a really nice person to work with. He is very accommodating and responsive.

No one commented on them when they r so HUGE? But then again, in my years of pearl wearing, I have only only one small SS pendant which I have gotten compliments.Think it is cos it looks traditional.
The other ripples are dwarfed by this strand. Wow, Wilma indeed!

Thanks for the neck shots and the comments. This strand looks amazing on you. They are huge and really dwarf all your other pearls except for the soufflés. I just got my Beaders Secret thread from Pattye, and I can see that I should make my strand long enough to lay on the breastbone and not the throat. I appreciate your insights and I hope you continue to wear them, at least as long as comfortable. :))

Bsomlo: Thanks for all the photos! :appl: Been staring at the photos. :-o Your new ripples are crazy big!! I mean, I knew they were big but they looked sorta normal on you in the initial pics (they looked big but hey, I've seen the soufflés on you before k). But next to the 'normal' sized ripples, they are like the crazy pale monster cousins from the north.

But you do look good in them, really. Like not over the top big if you know what I mean? Sorry to hear that they are slightly uncomfy to wear tho.

That's shocking (as in the lack of compliments). I usually get compliments from my colleagues and even once from a hawker when I went to buy lunch. Is it cos your colleagues don't wear pearls? My colleagues occasionally do so I think that's why they notice.

Icy -- I know what you mean about the size. They almost, but don't quite, cross the line into ludicrously big territory. They are just plain old huge.
