Hello lovely ladies,
I am just getting into pearls and would love to purchase a pear of 8-8.5 Akoya studs for my wedding in May. Pricescope helped me find my OEC, so I thought it would be just as helpful with pearls. I've already learned so much about pearls and vendors, and wanted to better understand my options.
I reached out to Takahashi after reading rave reviews here and got some pictures back (they are so so nice!), but it is a tad more expensive than I was hoping to spend. I also have an appointment with Pearl Paradise tomorrow and from what I can see on their site, the price looks to be roughly half for Pearl Paradise.
My question is, do people think double the price for Takahashi's pearls (Hanadama quality Akoya) is worth the quality? Or should I try Pearl Paradise and spend less? The price isn't untenable for Takahashi but would be grateful for people's thoughts! Paging @yssie since I know she's the Pearl Queen!
Many thanks in advance for your expertise!
