What should I buy?

[DiaDiva]

Hi....I have a choice of getting one of these:

1) 10mm High Luster South Sea Pearl earrings

2) Pistachio Baroque Tahitian Cultured Pearl Necklace 10 x10.8mm

3) Peacock Baroque Tahitian Cultured Pearl Necklace 9.2 x 11.1mm

Pictures to follow shortly.

What would you buy? If I were still working, I''d buy all three

but alas...I''m taking a break from work.

This would be my belated 40th birthday present from DH.

Below is a shot of the earrings.

Hmmmmm, I''m not sure why the answer for the 3rd option did not appear but it basically asked if I should buy the peacock baroque necklace because the colour is a surer bet although it''s more expensive than option 1 and 2.

Below is a picture of the pistachio baroque pearl strand.

Here is a shot of the peacock baroque pearls.

Sorry, I forgot to add that I''m Chinese. Here''s a recent shot of how I look.

I voted the white SS earrings, but I would also have voted for the baroque peacock strand.

 

[DiaDiva]

Thanks, Diamondgirl. I''m leaning a little more to the peacock baroque necklace but want to hear what everyone else thinks.

HI:

Really tough choice. I wear my SS white pearl earrings all summer and are a staple.
However that necklace is the ultimate chic. Dress up or down. Love the pearl shape--very elegant!

I am no help, sorry!
BTW, you look gorgeous and happy belated BD!

cheers--Sharon

 

[DiaDiva]

Thanks, Sharon

Maybe, I''ll get DH to buy me both the earrings and the baroque peacock necklace Haha...

 

[4ever]

You could get him to buy both the earings and the peacock necklace, give one for your birthday and keep another for an uncoming anivesary or special event......or for when you have been really really good.....

 

[Kelli]

The pistachio necklace looks really cool, but the earrings are more versatile, so I voted for them.

 

[DiaDiva]

Thanks for your replies 4ever and Kelli.

I ended up buying both the SS pearl earrings and the pistachio necklace

.

I''m having the earrings set as dangles so I can wear them a la Phoenix''s dangles. This way I''ll get more mileage out of them.

Can''t wait to receive them!

 

[brightlight]

I think you should get the peacock necklace. I have one, and it''s very versatile. It looks different depending on the color I''m wearing.

 

[diamondgirl4382]

Nice! I hope you''ll post pics when you get them!

I love tahitians in all colors so glad you got a strand.

I think they''re casual enough for everyday wear and i found the more i wear my strand, the more i love it.

Hi Girls,
My pistachio strand arrived today and I LOVE it! It is even more beautiful in person - the lustre is amazing. I''ll try to take some photos over the weekend.

Phoenix, you''re right. I''m from Singapore but am currently living in Suffolk VA until the end of this year. I got the pearls from Elana at futurefashionista.com (she''s in the US) - she''s having a July sale now and her prices are very reasonable. Will show you the earrings when they arrive

but I only have one pair of cluster stud earrings here. The bulk of my jewellery is back home. Enjoy Shanghai. There are so many beautiful places to visit in China - Suzhou and Hangzhou are practically on your doorsteps and you must go to Lijiang, Jiuzhaigou...

Just want to add that you can get 25% off the non-sale items if you key in a certain code. I understand that we are not allowed to post codes here so you will need to visit the purse forum and do a search to get the code.

 

[DiaDiva]

Thanks, I have that code but it cannot be applied for this sale though.

 

[simplysplendid]

Hi, yes, I mentioned it is for non-sale items, I should have clarified that that was meant for Phoenix since she asked about it, sorry for the confusion..

Many thanks, DiaDiva. You''re right, Elana does have some really wonderful pieces, I''m practically literally drooling over them and her prices are quite reasonable too.

Thanks for your kind words re Shanghai. I don''t know where these other places are but will ask hubby to take me there. Sounds wonderful.

Thanks for that, SS. It certainly helps. I was looking at her non-sale items too and wondering if I should get one or two items, he he.
