Well I have read somewhere that the PP Mothers Day sale might be 20% off store wide so I'm reconsidering this.... the 8.5-9mm *might* be back up for consideration, forgoing the dangles and bracelet. Hmm........

Wow, that's a lot of pearls!

Oh wow, I'm trying to imagine what that looks like on!

Sorry that's "all types of earrings".

I like most types if earrings. At the moment my favourites are 8mm silver ball studs, but I can't decide if the same size in pearls will look the same, bigger or smaller due to the colour. Also do the same size pearls look smaller as a dangle? Yep, I think I I'll be happy with 7.5-8mm ... it...

I went to a local jeweller to try on pearls today, and while the 8-8.5mm was my preferred size, to be honest the 7.5-8mm was pretty darn close, and if I wasn't looking at them side by side (or switching between them), it would be tough to know they weren't the same size if worn in isolation...

Ok, I've emailed a request for a quote to PP.... Complete set including strand, bracelet, studs and dangles, 8-8.5mm white Freshadama with silver overtones and yellow gold findings. I can't afford them yet, but I'm so excited to hopefully get a quote soon - then I will better be able to figure...

Sadly I'm not in a position to purchase yet - but I'm enjoying my research! Once I figure out what I want, and have saved what I need, I plan on waiting until the strand I really want becomes available :) I'm also starting to obsess over Tahitians (oh dear...) strand or tin cup, haha!

I keep staring at that photo - I love the larger size, but I guess I'm curious at the trade off with cost if I went for 8-8.5... I'm after Freshadama, but gee I love your metallics ! I'm amazed at the colour difference, I'm hoping that if I get silver overtones they will be more white than your...

I tried on some 8-9 in a store the other day, and also some 7-8. I liked both. I'm wondering what the prices are like for 8-8.5..... if they are much less than 8.5-9. And how they'd look.

Sorry, should have done that first! It comes up when you click the "what's this" next to the necklace length drop down menu. http://www.pearlparadise.com/8590-mm-White-Freshadama-Freshwater-Pearl-Necklace751.aspx

In the necklace length graphic, the one when you click the "what is this?", does anyone have an idea what size the pearls are? I'm thinking its the not too big, not to small look I'm after.

I think the earrings in particular have a lovely colour!

Well I'm a total novice... I see what looks like a pretty lustre and orient, and some lovely overtones.... But I see a strand poorly matched for overtone, irregular shapes and blemishes, and in the upper left of one photo it looks like they are not strung so well. Value? Sorry, no idea. I...

I am wanting the pearls to be silver overtone as I think that would look best on my skin, and to me that would suggest white gold.... I really like the dangles, but I tend to think I'll regret it if I don't have simple studs too. I'm thinking its best to just take my time and save for the lot...

They are simply gorgeous! I will have to try some on. I'm not at all used to pearls, so I'm thinking of buying one size up from whichever strand I'm most comfortable with (as long as I don't hate it!). I know I'll get used to them quickly so I don't want to regret my choice when I realise they...

I keep googling pictures and I think I'll see what a quote for an 8-8.5mm looks like. I'm also going to see if I can find a local store to try some on, but not sure there's anywhere near me. Really keen on silver overtone, metallic Freshadama if they exist. Now, if only the saving would be...

Thank you all so much for such helpful replies! I think I will have to go and try on some strands in different sizes. I'm really unsure. I wish the Freshadama strand I'm after came in 8-8.5mm, I think that's probably the sweet spot for me - just perfect size. I don't want to make the mistake...

Thank you Wendy. I prefer 16" necklaces, however the roundness of the pearls will make it sit shorter so I think I'll opt for 18". I am so split on pearl size. I don't want to look like they are oversized, but at the same time I don't want to look like I'm wearing something childish as I age...

Hi all - I've been really enjoying browsing this forum since I came across it a few days ago! About me: I'm suddenly struck by pearl-itis, aaargh!!! I currently have a very, VERY cheap necklace and studs set, it's chalky, boring, and so very tiny (about 4-5mm). Bought it more years ago than I...
