16 inches puts most necklace right at the hollow of my throat, I could probably stand a 15 inch as the smaller pearls around back would take up less room then my larger strands do around the neck.

I love the look of the one very graduated choker (or is it a longer strand twisted to look like 2 chokers?) on the woman in the big hat. I have a similar look with a 16 inch baroque golden SS strand from Pearl Paradise that I love, but it rests at the collarbone instead of on the neck. I may...

I'm after a multi-colored SS strand in baroque (Pearl Paradise is working on some for me to see - thank you Kirsten). I'd love a purple strand of CFWP with oil on water orient like the lavendar baroques I bought from them only darker. Whatever the next private offer of "exotic freshwaters"...

This is definately a shell cameo. The seller told me she was wearing "beads" but to my thinking no one wearing a diamond brooch of that size would wear anything but pearls:p I love that she is in flapper dress, I explain it to non-jewelry people by saying it's like in 2060 finding a cameo of...

This isn't a pearl piece but a few months ago I bought this late 1920s cameo and she is wearing pearls! It shows how important they were at that time with the flappers.

2 of my 3 baroque akoya strands arrived in the mail today. 154 listed as blemished with slight orient looks very blue and like near round cfwp, looks round on the neck. The blemishes aren?t as numerous as that description made me fear and they have a nice glow. 116 was listed as lightly...

That sounds like a good idea. I was afraid to even ask the price of this necklace as I suspect the petals were aquamarine and pale pink sapphires.

I wanted to share a description of a necklace I saw at a local jeweler while having work done on some rings. I couldn't get a pic because they wouldn't allow it. It featured what I'd gauge to be 9-10mm round white pearls strung with about 2 inches pale pink, pale blue and pale green...

Casey R. what description did your pearls have? I mean are they good, intense, medium or slight orient and clean or lightly blemished? They have such pretty blues and pinks. Did they look white/silver with overtones in the Pearl Paradise pic or more blue? I love them.

I'm hoping mine turn up today, but they probably won't appear until later in the week. Did any other strands have over tones like the apple green and circus orange or just that one? Most of them looked blue on my screen though I saw some pink. I love seeing pictures of what the arrived...

I am very pale, porcelain to be exact, and while I'm naturally a brunette and look fine that way, I have gone golden blonde and am not deep auburn red with green/blue eyes and the pearls I look best in are very dark tahitians with green overtones, which is funny because I look vile in green...

I have my pearls sent to work even though they usually don't need a signature (the one time I had them shipped to my house they did need a signature and the mailman knocked while I was in the bathroom and I had to literally chase him around my neighborhood to avoid a trip to the post office and...

I assumed they were the temporary strings that the hanks came on, but having them pre-strung would explain the quick shipping.

I just peeked at yours online Knotty and they are really pretty. I'm curious about 159 as I bought on also marked blemished (154). How noticeable are they?

Knotty must tip her mailman well to get her so fast:p I can't believe they are shipping today or tomorrow that is really fast! Were they already strung in advance or are stringers in CA thinking murderous thoughts about us?:D I live in PA and that's as far in the US as I can get from Pearl...

Well it's the day after so I guess all three of the strands I thought were mine yesterday are mine. Looking at all those rainbowy tones, I have to ask, how did akoya strands end up white? Do round akoyas lose the silver/blue and rainbow overtones because of their shape or are they processed...

Glad to hear about the white gold clasps. I'm a white metal addict when it comes to my jewelry. My mother pointed out once that you can't see the pearl clasp under my long hair, but I pointed out I see it in the box and I know it's there :p Having 3 visibly different strands allows me to say...

Good, it's looking like my newly picked strand is going to be mine. I am feeling better about the 3 I have because 157 and 154 were close in shape, so now I have 3 very different shaped strands (roundish, drop and bumpy) with different tones. Does anyone else keep checking back at the page...

Duplicates happen, and I understand the first come first serve totally, though what are the odds that this happened 5 times? I find that funny. We are all either sharing a brain-wave or we should all play the lottery tonight. Especially me who bought 3! Oh, Jeremy I hope you didn't think the...

Have you had a sneak preview of what they are going to be or just anticipating like me? Jeremy does love to torture us with this stuff. I have to say I was hoping it would come while I was a work, I'm at a computer all day so I see email the instant it arrives and we have super fast internet...
