Oh man my mouth is watering looking at that pearl paradise sale
Their website is also very informative for the novice
im in love with those peach apricot colours
im assuming they do sales like this more than just once a year i hope because now's not a good time
but window shopping is good motivation for job hunting ... not that the hot water and property taxes arnt doing that already
Anyway i hope some of you pearl lovers see this so can help me out on knowing what i actually want
when my mum died my sister and i very harmoniously (im quite proud of that because we don't get along).divied up her jewlery helped in part by her naming a few pieces that specially went to which one of us
There were two strings of pearls, mum's and grandma's
My sister choose grandma's because it was her turn and i love mum's ones but ive never been able to get grandma's out of my mind. I'd never even seen them before - mum probably thought they were old fashoned
now i don't know when grandma was born but mum was born in 1943? Durring the war. Grandad didn't get called up till the Pacific war because he was older and had a family.
Mum is the last of 3. im thinking Grandma was in her early to mid 30s. Grandma and grandad started a family/ got married a bit latter because of the great depression
Anyway these were maybe seed pearls ...no a bit bigger ?
A double length maybe
but definatly a lot smaller in pearl than mum's 1980 Mikimoto
What am i surposed to be looking at ?
I like the smaller size on a longer strand but these were not rope or opera length, gramdma had a very strict religouse upbringing and would have been no flapper
I have this fashion necklase but im not sure if there are the right size pearl either ?
I wish i had talked to mum about jewlery. I did used to admire how Princess Diana wore her pearls
but even though i owned some pearl station necklases i never thought much about pearls till now
now they are all i can think about
Sorry for the long rambling post
examples would be much appreated and admired
