I’ve been on PS for a very long time but I wandered into the Pearl forum for the first time last year.
To be honest, I had no interest in pearls for the longest time. I have one strand of small pearls that my mother bought for me when I turned 20 a long time ago which I never wear. Totally unfamiliar territory for me but I became more and more intrigued as I read the posts and gawked at the pictures.
I reached out to our resident pearl expert, @yssie who has been the most knowledgeable, patient and kindest teacher ever. She put me in touch with Takahashi, guided me throughout the process and I am now the proud owner of a breath-taking 8.5-9mm Akoya necklace with a touch of pink. I also got a pair of studs of the same quality to complete the set.
YY at Takahashi was always very responsive so working with her was such a delight.
I now totally get the fuss about a great quality pearl necklace.
The second I put them on, my face is bathed in a soft, warm glow of light that immediately brightens up my complexion. It makes me look younger and more energetic, and totally elevates whatever outfit I’m wearing. I think I need a bracelet next!
With the ear studs
