My 8.5-9mm Freshadama set arrived :)

[Blossy]

Just wanted to share I asked for silver overtone.

I still have a matching bracelet and dangles yet to arrive.

 

[bsomlo]

Blossy, they look fantastic! I like the size of the pearls and the length around your neck. Wear them in health and enjoy!

 

[baby monster]

So pretty Love it

 

[4Ranch Girl]

Oh you new necklace is beyond beautiful enoy!!!!

 

[mynattk]

lovely! congratulations!

 

[movie zombie]

and they look fab on you!

 

[baby nurse]

Really beautiful and I love the size! Congratulations !

 

[Blossy]

Thanks guys! I wore them to work today. We're still getting acquainted.

 

[naria]

Love that size on you. Making me reconsider my sick love of 7.5-8mm pearls.

 

[bsomlo]

It's funny. I'm liking larger and larger pearls as I age...

 

[Blossy]

I'm very happy with the size. I'm sure that I'll buy 7.5-8mm at some stage though - want more pearls and the price jump after 8mm is considerable.

 

[mrs taylor]

so lovely! they are really white-I don't see much pink at all! I'm LOVING that!

 

[Blossy]

It's so weird that they look pinkish on paper towel.

I'm still figuring out what to wear them with. Pretty sure they're going to work with me today

 

[mrs taylor]

pink-er I guess, but I feel like my freshadamas are PINK. I like it, don't get me wrong, but yours are SO beautiful!

 

[AnnaGraceDreamPearls]

This strand is about 18 inches, 8-9.5 mm graduated with double-knots tied between pearls, high luster, perfect round without any inclusions at all (the shape is so round and uniform).

 

[mrs taylor]

I came back to drool. What length is your necklace?

 

[Pattye]

Blossy, Great pearls, thanks for modeling! Did you get the other new pieces yet?

 

[Blossy]

It's a 17.5" necklace.

Patteye, the other pieces were shipped in the same day, but never arrived. I'm wondering if they are lost or stolen

Perhaps I'll get lucky and they'll turn up - hope so.

 

[mrs taylor]

oh no, Blossy! Thinking good, safe thoughts for your goodies. Fingers crossed they're safe and sound and just taking the scenic route.

 

[Blossy]

I hope so but it's been a week

 

[misskittycat]

I love your new necklace! Stunning! I hope your other pieces arrive soon.

 

[bsomlo]

Blossy -- were they all shipped from the same place?!

 

[Blossy]

Yes, within 5 minutes of each other.

I stupidly chose the cheap shipping given PP say they insure so I wasn't worried. Turns out cheap shipping doesn't require a signature on delivery. I'm worried that they've been stolen, either by a passerby from the street or a dishonest postal worker. The main issue is the customs declaration where the sender has to state the nature if the goods and retail value on the outside of the package.

Pretty tempting for a worker to quietly take the parcel and mark it delivered when the outside says the parcel contains hundreds of dollars worth of jewellery...

 

[mrs taylor]

I will cry if that's the case.

 

[Blossy]

I've just gotten word that they've arrived at my mother in laws house , hope to get them tomorrow

 

[mrs taylor]

Oh thank HEAVEN Blossy! I love happy endings!

I can't wait to see them.

 

[bsomlo]

Phew! That's excellent news. Have sweet pearl dreams tonight! Nothing like anticipating a package of pearls. I don't know about you, but I open the jewelry box s..l..o..w..l..y, wondering if it holds what I envisioned... We look forward to your report.

 

[misskittycat]

What a relief for you! I'm sure also very exciting - photos when you get a few minutes!!

 

[Blossy]

I will

Will have to badger my husband to get him to clasp the bracelet for me. It's a fairly snug fit and I can't do it myself.

 

[Blossy]

Okay, I'm having trouble photographing them, but here they are:
