    overwhelmed - what size dangle earrings and will Hanadama be worth the cost increase

    When my son got married a few years ago, my gift to my new DIL was a set of Freshadama jewelry for the wedding. I contacted Pearl Paradise and actually sent them a sample of her wedding dress fabric (she also chose ivory), and had them pick matching pearls. As for size, my DIL took a look...

    Our snow is mostly gone, but it's in the 30s F in the mornings, so winter clothes are still in order. This OSKA shirt Retuva in Peat needs added interest at the neck, so I pulled out my pistachio Akoya station necklace wire wrapped in 14kt white gold from PP. I decided to add my new 8-8.4mm...

    I think any of us would qualify as a hobbyist. Visiting Guaymas is on my short list, unfortunately I already have a family vacation trip scheduled then.

    Sea of Cortez pearl ring (my first pearl purchase)

    Thank you, CathyKeshi. The Kamoka ring is a bit darker and more olive, but I won't hesitate to wear them together. And, it really depends on the light. This one shows mostly body color. Here are the pretty overtones. A group shot, just because I thought they looked pretty.

    Ombre strand from Cees

    Beautiful strand, Jesskat. I adore a good ombre, and this one is lovely. I dug out a photo of my Tahitian and akoya ombre bracelet for reference. It appears to be using a lighter color thread matching the bluish akoya. I hope this helps.

    Sea of Cortez pearl ring (my first pearl purchase)

    O.k., you guys. Fabulous choices. So, I took a look at the Sea of Cortez site last night, and these gem grade golden-green 8 to 8.4mm baroque beauties stole my heart. They are on their way to me. There is a slightly large pair of stunning blue studs out there, but they are a bit too big...
