Pearl necklace - need opinions!

pkinnew · Nov 25, 2013

I agree with Pinkjewel - give them a call. I've worked with PP on few items and have found that calling or using their online chat is the quickest way to have your questions answered.

They called me today to let me know that my necklace is almost done. I'm asking for them to hold shipping til Friday since I'm getting it shipped to my workplace. Yay!

Thought I should post a picture of my earring jackets.

They are 0.5" long. I kind of wish they had been made shorter, but I found out that I can actually double the chain over and loop my earring through a different link (if that makes any sense).

These are 9.0-10.0 mm Freshadama pearls.

And a picture of the 16" necklace. I thought it was too short, so I sent it back for the 18" version. I can't wait to receive it!

Very pretty pearls! I love the two different ways you can wear the earrings!

Thank you! I'm trying to decide which length will go better with the wedding dress. I'm leaning towards the longer length.

Clever you to sort out the earrings...like having two pairs now

You definitely made the right choice going up to 18" ! Whenever a customer says 'i think I want it 16" .. I say..go find your favourite necklace that is just the right length and measure it .. then tell me how long it is... inevitably it turns out to be 18' . Very versatile length. It's going to be fabulous...very pretty pearls !

Thank you! I'm glad I went for the biggest size I could (barely) afford.

LitGeek · Dec 5, 2013

Wow your strand is just jaw dropping gorgeous

Great luster too! And your earring jackets are lovely

dk168 · Dec 5, 2013

I believe the longer length is better suited to the OP.

Great pearls though.

Thank you! They are very lustrous. I'm glad that I got the Freshadamas instead of spending 3x more for the Hanadamas. My eyes aren't well-trained enough to see the difference.

I agree. I'm very glad I went back for the longer length.

Thanks! I'm definitely very happy with them. I've been wearing them since I got them. My male coworker says they "look nice" but that he "likes the darker ones more." (I also received the Tahitians I purchased for my grandmother today).

They are stunning! Wonderful length and size.

Yeah, I'm glad I went for the larger size!

Thanks! I was undecided between silver and rose overtones, so I went with silver-rose. I'm constantly second-guessing myself and wondering if I should have gone with straight-up silver overtone instead, so I'm glad you said that!

Here's a picture showing the necklace and earrings. I know I need to take pictures of them in natural light but I live in Seattle and the sun sets at like 4pm. The earrings are Freshadama 9.5-10.0 (a little bigger than the pearls in my necklace).

Thank you! If your order hasn't shipped yet, you should get them to match you with a set of matching studs. It's easier to match the earrings when they have the necklace in front of them. Otherwise, you'll have to send the necklace back if you want a perfect match.

Thank you! Definitely happy with the size. I am a size whore when it comes to jewelry. I'm waiting for the day I can afford the extra large South Sea strand on PP's site! I want to be one those old ladies who rock huge pearls.

pkinnew · Dec 9, 2013

Your Freshadamas are stunning! Perfect size and color! Walk by as many mirrors as you can when you wear these!

I've been wearing them everyday. I work a a tech co and we don't dress up at all so people have been giving me funny looks.

You go girl! They look awesome!

I'm in the same club for retirement! Except I have trouble waiting! So I'm going for baroques in the meantime.

Yes, I'm thinking of saving for some SS baroques myself! Too many pearls, so little money.

I am hoping to purchase a "just right" for me strand of baroque wSS pearls next year to go with my other wSS pieces

In the meantime, I am going to buy a classic strand of Freshadama or Metallic whites to wear with my wSS earrings. I just love how some of the gals on this forum mix and match their pearls, I think it is tres chic

Ooh, better make the purchase soon while PP is still offering the 15% Cyber Week discount!

Here are my Freshadamas - because I don't get tired of looking at them.
