buying my first Tahitians from Elana

[writergeek]

Hi all,

I am buying my first pair of pearl earrings and of course I consulted Pricescope first before doing anything! I ended up on the FF site and fell in love with many many of the Tahitian earrings and loose pearls.


I got in touch with Elana, who is trying to recover from pneumonia, who has been wonderful to work with. She has shown me several options within my pretty limited budget and is now going to make me a fantastic pair of earrings with the pearls in the attached picture.

I''m hoping these pearls will look good on my wedding day, when I''m dressed in my silk linen dress of cornflower blue.

I will post pictures of the finished earrings when I receive them. I am so excited!

Maybe this photo shows the pearls better.

Exciting!!

Did you see her "red sale" items? OMG I want some! I feel like I am choking in anything less than 18" though so there is nothing for me to buy!

If you are looking for a first strand, those would be a good place to start

Those are gorgeous!! They will look lovely with your dress! I have been thrilled with Elana''s pearls. I bet once you get those earrings... you will definately want a strand to match!!

Those pearls look gorgeous and the settings too. I bet they''ll be great with a bluish wedding dress. I''ve had Elana make me some Tahitian earrings too, and I loved the workmanship on the diamonds & settings, it was very high quality IMO.
