Which one would you pick?

[plethora23]

Both are AAA quality and are around 9-11mm. I''ve been told #1 is more uniform in color which was the sales associates preference but she said it was a matter of personal preference. I decided against a more round shape since I''m planning on getting round Tahitians in the next couple of years. What do you think?

This is the first.

 

[plethora23]

Second.

Do you like the colors better or the shape? It''s soooo difficult for me to choose with just an online picture!

met too.


I have bought from them and Pearl Outlet and I notice their pics tend to be pretty accurate at capturing what they look like. Both are gorgeous though.
The sales associates are pretty helpful so I would also be inclined to go with what she says based on your preferences.

Thanks Skippy! She told me that they were both gorgeous but that she''d prefer #1 and that was based on the more uniform color. She said if I was looking for more colors then #2. I''ve never worn baroques before so I''m leaning towards the more uniform color #1....but they both look pretty to me in the pictures!

I''d be tempted to order them both to be able to see them and then return them and have the clasp put on the one you choose. It is a little trouble, but I even did that with diamonds once!

After agonizing over this decision that''s what I finally did! We''ll see how the look with my skin tone when I have them in person. I also ordered one more to add to the mix

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Great! I really think that is necessary when we are dealing with internet stores. I want to be SURE I am getting the best one! Can''t wait to see what you decide!

 

[LadyBlue]

Both are really gorgeous, don''t forget to show us the pictures

 

[plethora23]

I just received them and here''s an indoor photo shoot (btw really hard to take your own neck shots!) What do you think?

 

[plethora23]

Second strand.

 

[plethora23]

Third strand.

 

[Icce]

I can’t see the overtone in the pictures...probably cause indoor shot, so not sure which colour or luster I like best? I like number 3 but I like symmetrical things, not too abstract but if that is your thing than all are pretty I am sure. Its persoanl perf....let us know which you pick

 

[innerkitten]

I can''t tell either, maybe it''s the lighting. Based on the shape I like number three.

 

[plethora23]

Here''s 3 picts up close to see the luster better. It is really hard to capture in the pictures. Same order as on my neck.

 

[plethora23]

2nd.

 

[plethora23]

3rd.

 

[innerkitten]

Not to thread jack but I have found using dim light helps and also not using a flash. You might also try taking a picture of the pearls on a paper towel like this. Not sure why this trick works but it seems to.

 

[innerkitten]

Of the new photos you just posted I''d say #1 or #2.

 

[elle_chris]

With barouqes I''m all about the color and luster. Based on your pics, it''s difficult to judge the color but on my screen the luster looks best on strand 1 and 2. But overall, i like the way 3 looks on you best.

 

[innerkitten]

So which do you think you''ll choose?

 

[plethora23]

I''m leaning towards #2. #3 is just really really dark green and not as colorful as the other two strands although it does have a very pretty shape. #1 is very pretty but one of the pearls in the front of the necklace sticks out with a lot of silver. I think that might bother me too much. #2 has pops of color throughout. Waiting to see what my DH says.

 

[Kelli]

I''m loving the symmetry of #3, but it''s hard to tell color from the computer screen.

Innerkitten--- do you have that multi color strand posted anywhere? It''s gorgeous!

 

[innerkitten]

I think you can't really go wrong either way. I'm curious to see which you wind up with

My multi colored necklace is in this link. It's one of my favorite strands. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/some-of-my-pearls.112765/

 

[Kelli]

Thanks! You''ve got a lot of really gorgeous pearls!

Sorry for the threadjack. It''s over now

 

[plethora23]

I was able to get better pictures. Still debating but am leaning towards 2 or 3 or both

One:
