My new chunky Edisons

[mellowyellowgirl]

I found white pearls very useful but wasn't quite happy with the tone of the ones I bought previously. They ran a little yellow to my eyes.

So I bought these which were even bigger!!!!! I'm absolutely in love with them! I've realized that size is everything for me when it comes to pearls! I really don't like small things so again I can't escape from Edisons which are the only large pearls that are affordable.

These are 13-15. Just the way I like them!

Debating whether I should get another strand. I do love them the size of macadamia nuts!!!

But then they probably just look the same? I do love them as big as possible! Whoever invented these giant monstrosities is a genius!!!!

 

[lovedogs]

I love them on you! Edison pearls are awesome

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

So I did a thing.....I went even bigger!!!!

14-15.5! I could not resist!

I paid more so these are rounder. Far from perfectly round but I love them and they're in budget.

It's evening here so I'll get daylight pics another day!

Another one to highlight the difference between the two

I still love the first necklace. Reason I bought another one is because I wear it so often!

 

[lovedogs]

Can I ask where you bought these? They are lovely!

Kongspearl on Etsy. She has a lot of giant sized pearls and I love giant sized jewelry

Oh my gosh, your two strands are fabulous!

Is the idea to wear them separately or stacked? I would love to see the effect of two ginormous strands on the neck!

Separately! I bought the first necklace because it was very affordable for the price. I vaguely knew that I loved large pearls but I wasn't sure if I would even like white that much or if they would be too large. I loved loved loved it so much and wore it everywhere so I decided to invest in the better strand that she had.

I must also blame @dk168 who mentioned a strand of big Edisons at Pearls Paradise (those have since been sold and were out of my budget for pearls anyway) that totally tempted me into buying another strand.

Will do when school holidays are over and I go out with adults!!!

The kiddo is ten, loves gems and loves to get his grubby mitts on and examine my stuff if I'm wearing it! I've been out with him every day so wearing the durable stuff. Haha he caught a glimpse of me walking off with these and was offended when I told him I'll never wear them out with him!

 

[Catmom]

Pearl gumballs indeed! Yummy.

Did you write KongsPearls to ask about quality, etc? Or choose one from the existing listings?

I have always chosen from a listing but I always ask her questions about listings I'm interested in. I find her answers spot on in terms of the final product that I receive.

I think you can also message her to ask for something specific and she can help you look for it. Haven't done it myself but she posted a really pretty tahitian strand for a client on IG that's never been listed.

I look at their Etsy site often. Will they string properly and attach a clasp?

Yup! I always ask for it to be turned into a wearable necklace and receive the final product as pictured. I'm not sure what happens if you request specific ways of stringing. She's very nice so I'm sure she'll help.

Finally got a chance to wear them! Hubby did notice the difference between these and the cheaper pair which makes me feel like I didn't just buy two of the same thing. Haha he said he has an urge to grip them too (like the 10yo) because they're so big and shiny

Love the pearls with your red top, beret and jade earrings.
Edison’s are great everyday pearls, the strands you’ve chosen are lovely.
I bought a strand of 12-14mm Edison’s 6 years ago to wear to a wedding, and they are similar to yours.
