Firstly, I apologise if this post is in the wrong place... but I just didn't know where I should put it!! I got two pearls in the post today that I had won off ebay (augustus) and as requested, he had half drilled them for me. Thing is, I just tried to put in a few of the gold findings I have...

awww lisa I hope you can find a strand too!! I know I am very very lucky to have gotten my hands on these! It's true that most girls my age aren't really into pearls yet- guess I have a headstart on them! :D I'd prefer my single strand of pearls over the multiple costume jewellery necklaces and...

They have arrived.... and I am in love!! :D THANK YOU to Jeremy and his team- the staff at Pearl Paradise are amazing as usual and the pearls are absolutely gorgeous! I own a mikimoto pendant and, placing that next to the pearls, couldn't actually see any obvious difference to my untrained eye...

The pearls are small (6.5-7mm) which is exactly what I was looking for since I want to be able to get lots of wear out of them! Being only 24, I love the look of larger pearls but find they look too mature on me a lot of the time. Unfortunately I haven't gotten the strand yet- I asked Jeremy...

Thank you everyone, I will (and if only I could clone them lol!)!! -Supposed- to be studying at the moment but I'm so bored and tired of it...! Anyways- I have the bigger version of the photo that Jeremy just posted open on my computer (thank you! I wasn't sure if it would be ok for me to post...

Have to chime in here! I first saw this thread a few weeks ago and ended up emailing Jeremy to ask if he had any white metallics hidden away... with no luck. He replied saying that he THOUGHT he had a strand but that since he couldn't find it, it had likely sold. I was a bit disappointed but...

Thanks GemGeek and pattye :) Sarah from Kojima pearl emailed me with pictures of two GORGEOUS pairs of tahitians for me to choose from and mentioned that she has some white gold leverbacks that she can set them on, so that might be the way to go!! I'm trying to decide if I would like them on...

Thank you everyone for all the replies!! I've only worn them out once or twice (at night) which is when I like the look of the pearls the best :) Mostly, they just sit on my desk next to me so that I can admire them! I wasn't sure if I was just being weird or if it was a trait common to dark...

I feel like this is a really silly question... but anyways- I keep staring at my tahitian strand in its box and it looks lovely, all dark greens with a range of pink purple etc overtones. The thing is, when I try to do this at night and turn on the light or when sunlight falls on them... I...

Hi everyone! ... Firstly, please excuse the typo in the title of the thread =( Just wanted to show off my new baroque silver-blue akoya earrings that the lovely staff at PP made for me. My brother got them for me as a birthday present... though of course, I was the one who chose them hehe...

Ooh I would love to see photos of your Silver-pink strand lovetahitians! That was the one I was going to order for myself (and might still do) ;) Thank you everyone for your lovely comments! I will definatley try out those photography tips next time! And the biggest thank you of all to Jeremy...

The tahitians are actually just a strand that I managed to pick up for a really good price (IMO) from Elana over at Future Fashionista! I bought them on a whim but have been very happy with them seeing as how I paid just under $200 (she had them on clearance and I was allowed to use a code on...

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share my first ever Pearl strand purchases! After much deliberation, I went with the exotic metallic multi-coloured strand for myself (6.5mm-7mm) which has INCREDIBLE lustre, and also purchased two solid exotic strands in Silver Peach... initially in 6.5-7mm. The...

Thanks Kelly! I was about to order a goldeny coloured one too! I have very fair skin with pink undertones and as a general rule, I know that cool colours look better on me... so I am really interested in these now! ... I'm off to bombard Jeremy with questions about them now :D

I know this isn't related to your question at all, but would you mind describing the cool toned exotics (if you can't do a picture :D) that you got from PP, Kelly? I am about to order some and all I thought about were goldens and warmer colours!

Thanks pattye! :) I know my friend has been lusting after goldens in general- she's going to be soo happy when I show these to her!

oh WOW these are stunning!! ... may I ask how you go around ordering a more goldeny strand rather than the more lavender strand seen on the website? I might just need one of these...

Thanks Bernadette!! I'll stop by those two stores sometime soon! :)

Chocolates are always a good way to make a girl happy!! :D I think I will start sending out some emails to enquire then :) I am located in Australia (Sydney). While I do know of a few beading stores from my days of crystal bicones, I'm afraid (from memory) that they only stock base metal...

Hello all! I am newly registered on this forum though I have long been a non-registered lurker, absorbing all the helpful information that has been posted :) Lately, I have developed this interest in wishing to try my hand at making my own pearl earrings (I want some dangly ones!). Several...
