OK, I'm definitely going a little pearl-mad in this sale.
I've been watching quite a few movies set in the Thirties/Art Deco period recently, and I'm being really influenced! A few female characters have been wearing graduated strands of cream-colored pearls. So vintage and elegant! I can't find cream freshwater pearls anywhere though, so I used the wonderful chat service at Pearl Paradise and they are going to custom-make a graduated cream pearl necklace for me!
it will be approx 17 inches, AAA freshwater except the largest front pearl which will be Freshadama, in this design but the pearls will be cream body color: http://www.pearlparadise.com/p-3150-metallic-silver-peach-60-100-mm-graduated-freshadama-pearl-necklace.aspx
I just wanted to do it in the sale, you know? Cost was approx $300 after discount - not bad.
PP did tell me that they may not have enough pearls in cream in those sizes, which is fine if they don't - the order will just be canceled, but I just wanted to ensure that I paid for it today, with the discount!
After being influenced by the stylish Art Deco movies, as well as cream graduated pearls I also want champagne coupes like this: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/camille-champagne-coupe-glass/s205117
Well, I'd like much more expensive ones but Crate and Barrel ten-dollar ones will have to do! Can't justify expensive ones since I rarely drink bubbles!
I'm loving the Art Deco period at the moment. I'm not sure if graduated pearls were a look of that era, particularly, but they do appear in the Thirties movies/detective series a lot.
Hope they have enough pearls for the order to happen, and that they're nice and creamy!
