They just arrived today really surprised how quickly it flew over once fedex picked it up!

Here’s some preview pics…now to figure out some cute outfits

How pretty. I love the silver tone against your skin - the far right strand.

Hi to all pearls lovers. I was never a fan of pearls but I saw these two pieces and fell in love. Would be great to hear your thoughts. I have never owned jewelry with pearls and i am just wandering where this set was made in and how old it could be. Any suggestions? DB837213-DDC2-4B8F-A6A2-D331EEC9FEF3.jpeg suggestions?

i have no idea
but i really love them
enjoy and wear in good health

pearls like to be worn (for pearl health)
welcome to the nacre side !

Bought these and am thrilled with them! But then again I don't know much about pearls but they're exactly the colour I was hoping for! More pink and less purple!

Keeping these away from the feral 10yo!

Gorgeous and they seem to have lots of metallic to them!

Just got these delivered today. Very pleased with them! white-ish Edisons

I didn't want to spend very much so tried to get the most decent necklace, whilst keeping the budget low.

They are 11 to 13mm

I really like them!!!!! Almost as good as my pinks and since I don't know what I'm doing I'm pretty happy!!!

I haven't been active on these forums in a long time (years) but I have been quietly reading. Towards the later part of 2022, I purchased these 'gem quality', 9.0 -9.5 Akoya studs from Takahashi. I wasn't into pearls before and these studs are now my most-worn earrings. They just glow in the most beautiful way! I also bought two more sets of smaller Akoyas, and made them into studs for my mom and dangles for my sister for Christmas presents.

A special thank you to @yssie ! Your pearl write-ups and photos are what made me take the plunge! A 16" necklace is at the top of my wishlist for 2023! Takahashi was wonderful to work with!

Hi Sylvia,
I love the pearls on you. The overtone is perfect against your skin and the size is excellent. A strong presence.

Those are a fantastic size and you captured their glow in your photos :love: Beautiful!! Love the colour and overtone against your skin and hair.

Did you end up choosing one of those pendants? I often wear my pearls with Perlee pieces ❤️

@MMtwo and @cushioncutnut Thank you so much for the kind words. I really love them!

@yssie Your perlee pieces look stunning with your pearls! You have such a beautiful collection!

I have not purchased any of the necklaces above. I really like the Frivole pave pendant in size small (pictured above is the mini) but I can't decide what metal color will go best with my pearl studs and my skin tone. Also, bracelets are higher than pendants on the list. I might post some photos on the VCA thread.
