Hello fellow pearl lovers!
Well, I haven't been round this neck of the woods lately, but glad to see that you all have gotten beautiful pearls!!
The pearl-holic in me has been wanting a SS pearl necklace. So, recently I went to have a look at some. There're some really beautiful and large SS - both white and golden. The golden ones seem a bit less expensive (the white ones - esp those with intense lustre, and silver overtones - are quite pricey) but don't seem to go so nicely with my skin-tone (sallow pale olive/yellowy Asian skin tone
). I'd still like to have some golden ones though, so I was thinking that perhaps I can do a mixed strand, alternating every white one with a golden one, or I could alternate every two white ones with a golden one. I mean I could do the all -white, but 1) they're more expensive (they run into thousands, if not tens of thousands, of USD's, depending on the roundness, lustre, lack of blemishes, overtones etc); 2)I'd hate to spend all that money and have other people think they're freshies (nothing wrong with freshies per se - I have some myself and love 'em - just don't want to spend the money to end up having a similar look, iykwim?).
What do y'all think?
Eta: ARRRGGGHHH!! I created a poll and for some reason it didn't work!!
Hope you can all chime in with your suggestions. Thanks.
