PP Sale Freshwater Double-Strand Choker

[JanesJewels]

My choker-length double strand pearl necklace just arrived from Pearl Paradise, and I'm in love!

It's 15 and 16 inches long, and has a beautiful hexagonal gold and diamond clasp, so I can wear the clasp at the front for a change. The pearls are small, 4.5-5mm, but they are AAA freshwater. It cost $217 as for some reason my cart automatically deducted another 10%!

I wasn't sure I'd like them, but they're what I hoped for. I think they're chic, and I'm so glad I took a chance!

Hope you enjoy the pics xxxx

I love Pearl Paradise

I'm so glad you posted pictures. Thank you! I have been thinking about grabbing one of those strands; but, I am holding out to see what else they might put up first. I was wondering what the clasp might look like when worn in front and I have to say, it is very lovely! I think it has a vintage and modern feel to it if that makes any sense at all.

That is so pretty! I love the small pearls doubled like that, very delicate! And that clasp is pretty too! Beautiful piece!

Thanks! I wasn't sure about it, and I probably shouldn't have bought it right now because I have other expenses, but I just thought that $217 was such a great price for AAA pearls and the fancy clasp.

I've stretched myself in the past to buy jewelry when something has been both my dream item and a fantastic deal, and I've never regretted it.

I'm glad the pix helped!

The pearls are really small, just so you know. When I first opened the box, I wasn't wowed, but when I put them on I thought they looked perfect.

I think the price is excellent for AAA pearls and an extra-nice clasp - and also the fact that they are strung shorter, as I need 15/16 inches. I know PP can string them shorter, but it takes longer and there's a re-stringing fee if you don't like them.

You could always grab one of these strands and return it if there's something else you like better. I suspected this strand might be both beautiful and an excellent deal, and I think I was right, so I'd hate for you to miss out!

Ok, your pictures pushed me over the edge. I just ordered one of these strands. I felt like I would regret it forever it I didn't. I am sooooo glad I didn't wait because it is sold out now. I must have snagged the last strand.

Yay!!! Hope you like it. When you open the box, the necklace looks really small but it has a lot more presence on the neck than you'd think. Post some pics when you get it!

Thanks, everyone else, for the kind remarks.

JanesJewels thank you so much for encouraging me not to miss this piece! It just arrived and it is SO pretty!

I tried it on really quick with my 7.5mm 18" Freshadama Metallic strand from PP as well.

Wow, it looks amazing on you!

So glad you like it! Now we're necklace buddies, hahaha!

 

[ltlmsmfft]

Thank you!

I just want to encourage (enable) anybody else who may be contemplating a strand of tiny pearls. Seriously you may think that 4.5mm sounds like something that you might need a microscope to see or that would have no "wow" factor; but, I have to tell you tiny pearls like this were practically made for choker length multi strand necklaces and ropes. They still look great when paired with much larger pearls (see my photos above) and look great alone. They have a very casual feel to them which pair well with a lot of more casual outfits vs larger pearls which tend to go better with more dressy outfits. Tiny pearls have a very unique charachter which should not be overlooked. I will most certainly be looking for more tiny pearls after this purchase.
