I’m a devoted pricescoper, used all the wisdom everyone had to offer in purchasing my engagement ring. Now with that task behind me I’m looking to the wedding and what I’ll be wearing.
After reading though the Pearl post over the last couple of days, learning the lingo, what to look for, and what I can afford.
Freshwater are going to be what I’m wearing (someday I’ll have Hanadama, but that’s after the bathroom and kitchen remodel, sigh), but nice ones. I’m looking at getting a set, studs, necklace, and bracelet in 7.5-8mm in white.
Many of you have raved about Pearl Paradise and their Freshadama line. I realize Freshadama is a grading label that PP has give these pearls that are the best of the best in fresh water they have to offer.
When I go to their Freshwater section and compare the AAA same size necklace to Freshadama the Freshadama are a little more expensive. Is there a comparable difference?
Also how do you think the Freshadamas hold up against TPO or other recommended online retailers that carry AAA freshwater selections?
Also need to ask advise on what hue of coloring I should be leaning toward. I’ve got a lot of redheads in my family; I’m very freckled, pale skin, blue eyes, dirty blonde, burn easily. I was debating between Ivory and Cream in colors, after reading some posts from people with Ruddish skin tones, I lean toward the Ivory which is supposed to be more pleasing toward the eye. Can anyone vouch for this or advise on the whole color skin tone thing.
Thank you!
