by Pinkmartini87 » Aug 14, 2019 at 5:51 PM Hi, I’m looking for a pair of “mismatched” Tahitian earrings. Found this pair online for around $400. What do you all think? Price seems overall fair?
by ennui » Aug 15, 2019 at 2:49 PM They're beautiful pearls, but part of the price of earrings is in the matching. I think they're a little high for mismatched. I created my own "mismatched" earrings when I lost one. I'd love a pair of the white.
by Pinkmartini87 » Aug 15, 2019 at 10:27 PM @ennui Great point, thank you! I think I’ll pass since there may be some size discrepancy due to white appearing larger than the dark pearl.
by ennui » Aug 18, 2019 at 10:54 AM Good point, about white appearing larger. Also, consider if your hair is dark and the Tahitian disappears. I often see mismatched earrings with Tahitian/Golden SS, or with two Tahitians in different tones.

by amoline » Aug 18, 2019 at 5:46 PM Tahitians are very difficult to shop for - what sort of colors are you looking to find? The classic "peacock" overtone? If you post what you're looking for, I'm sure plenty of folks can help you
