I have started wearing my pearls again, and have fallen in love all over.
I inherited several strands from my mom and know pretty much nothing about pearls. All I know is Mikimoto. Many many years ago when I was about 12 I was with a friend on a vacation and her mom loved to antique shop. We were in a dusty old store and I saw a circle of pearls pin. I thought my mom would like it. I paid 3.00 for it. It turned out to be Mikimoto!!!
My sister has it now. She also has the 2strand bracelet that matched the 36" double strand that I now have,
The double set was purchased in India by my cousin for my mom as a 40th anniversary present from my dad. Those are the 36" double strand.
The other strand with the Chinese? Symbol was also purchased in India I believe.
The Tin cup came from India also.
All the rest have no story other than they were my moms.
The seed? Pearls were given to my daughter for HS graduation and she never wears them
My question is DH wants to get me a Mother's Day present and I showed him some pearls from PP, based on listening to you guys
He likes the metallics. Can I get some real life talk about them? Are they really beautiful? shiny as the pictures? Sadly they all seem to be out of stock.
I like the multicolor Freshadamas. I'd like to start with a necklace, add earrings then a bracelet.
I like everything!
I'd really like a chocolate pearl necklace with Betty Rubble size pearls!!!
But since money is not growing in my backyard.....
These are really pretty. Any one own them?
