    Newbie in search of pearls for a girlfriend

    Wow! How thoughtful! Personally though, if you're going to be spending close to $600, I'd consider buying her Freshadamas instead. While I love akoyas, Freshadamas are absolutely stunning in person! You could buy her 8.5-9mm Freshadamas for $720, or even just some 7-8mm for $280. You might...

    Can't decide- FW or Tahitian Baroques

    Good point! I was thinking of just going with the standard gold polished ball clasp (in yellow gold for the tahitians), but this is a great idea! Has anyone used "Senora?" It might look awkward on a necklace though. I like the idea of the toggle too, but probably not for this necklace.

    Can't decide- FW or Tahitian Baroques

    Hmmm... I think I might go ahead and save for the Tahitians (probably buy in a month or so) and wait on the FW. Another thing I thought of is that I can always buy the FW after Xmas- I get a ton of extra cash from work, family, friends, etc. etc,

    Can't decide- FW or Tahitian Baroques

    I like this idea... Hm... I could also buy them faster since they're cheaper.... On the other hand, I don't own ANY tahitians. No, I wish I could head to PP but I live in MA.

    Can't decide- FW or Tahitian Baroques

    I can't decide what to purchase next from PP! I think I need some baroques to even out my collection... but I'm not sure. I'm a HUGE believer that exceedingly high quality (and therefore usually expensive) jewelry should speak for itself... So I'm not so sure about either purchase because they...

    Pink Graduated Strand

    Got my strand from TPO! I like it, but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it yet. I think I'll go poll a few friends.

    Gradient Lavender Pearls

    :D Thanks! I wish it came in other colors, but the pattern is pretty cute. I have a love/hate relationship with J.Crew-- half their stuff is outrageously overpriced for what it is, and the other half has amazing quality/design. Too bad I can't wear it with my (upcoming) tahitians. :(

    Gradient Lavender Pearls

    Oh yes... well, something is better than nothing. http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/dresses/patternsprints/PRDOVR~96517/96517.jsp That's what I bought. It wasn't too bad, but still.

    Gradient Lavender Pearls

    Nope, I'll check the mailroom on Monday though ;) I hope I like them! I spent way too much money on a new dress (it has pockets!)... and I'm planning on buying a strand of Tahitian baroques from PP in the next 2 months. Eh, yeah, I hope I don't have to return them!

    Ah thanks! It's just an old photo I took while goofing off on my macbook.

    No, my copy/paste doesn't work (apple key broken) so I had to enter in the code thing manually... First try I got it wrong. Memory retention of numbers isn't so hot for us dyslexics.

    Red dyed CFWPearls are becoming more popular every year

    Sooo pretty. I wish I could buy them.... but I must buy the pink-white graduated strand instead ;) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STOCKING THESE! I've been coveting one ever since the original thread (btw- can I place my order for it now? I'm 98% sure that I'll be away from the computer tomorrow and I...

    Red dyed CFWPearls are becoming more popular every year

    I agree to some extent. Chocolates can be beautiful in person... I'm just excited to see these ones-- high quality- dyed pearls. Also, I don't really like the look of pearl+other gemstone jewelry (with the exception of aquamarine, ultra dainty wire jewelry). It looks really odd imo. I like...

    Wait... EMERALD?? PLEEEEASE? I don't think I can pull off red pearls... They might look like bright red legions or something. But Emerald... It's only my favorite color ever. Not mixed. Just Emerald.

    Pink & White Freshadamas!!

    Thanks! I think the pendant is roughly 10x13mm... but that's just off the top of my head, so don't quote me on it ;) I love the pendant, it's so pretty and casual. I doubt I'd ever actually use it as an enhancer, a little too busy, imo.
