I caved! I caved! I was trying very, very hard to resist the temptation of this sale in order to save up for the anticipated Mother's Day sales... Well after finding out that there were only 4 pairs of the gorgeous blue akoya studs left, I had to get it before they ran out! They haven't...

I think I need to clarify a few things. I didn't purchase the tahitian studs operating on the assumption that peacock overtones are rare. Initially, this monthly special was described as having peacock overtones which has been edited since, if I'm not mistaken. I am in love with purple...

Beautiful! Raisondetre, is the lavender pearl #6? Thanks!

More pictures!!! If anyone has more pictures of the TPO sale items, please post!!! :)

Thanks everyone for your kind words. The pearl studs were absolutely *FLAWLESS* - perfection in every sense of its pearliness. However, I ended up returning them because I was hoping for a really strong, intense and flamboyant peacock flair.

Can someone tell me what color #6 is? I've been trying to figure it out since I've seen this kindly provided link (didn't know there was an email list!). Also, are these considered "exotic freshwater" pearls? I'm not sure I fully understand what that means so I'll be doing a search unless...

Congrats on your Freshadamas Texas Girl. I have a pair of Freshadama earrings and they are so perfect. The inner glow just puts me in a different world! Hi Mist of Cassiopeia. Can you post pics of your gem fresh pearls? The picture of the special looks like it has some orient, yes?

Josh you have many many many fans! You're creating a pretty strong brand...even as a newbie I recognize this and have quickly come to see how striking and differentiated your pearls are. I just wish there were more avenues where I can oogle and purchase your pearls. :) Edit: Good thing for...

Oops. I'm in Chicago, IL in the US. I wish I had a set of pearls to commission but at the moment I don't. I'm wondering for future reference. --- Nevermind. I just bought some beautiful fully drilled pearls...I'm thinking of a tincup necklace... :)

Hi Pattye, I used Kay Jewelers as an example b/c that's how much I know about findings and customizing findings to loose pearls. :p Me too! So...if I were to purchase loose pearls from the original pearl site, is it typical/customary/usual to ask them to set them w/ findings? I am...

This is a very newbie question but I've been exploring more of the loose pearls lately. I know nothing about jewelry making but I've read how some of you have jewelers that you go to for the finishing touches to loose pearls...How do you pick? Would I be able to go to a place like Kay...

Here are this month's special from Pearl Paradise. I am quite the novice so maybe that's why it's a bit difficult to see any peacock overtones but I think I captured a bit of it as it was reflecting off the white background. The nice thing is that dark pearls match my skin tone quite well!

I got the email while I was on the way to the grocery store but had to make a detour w/ full internet access just in case! I'm excited about the news...will definitely have to start saving! :D LOL Callire...I think the excitement is mutual!

Actually Boo, I feel the same way about having round pearl studs on my ears. The only ones I have are the Freshadamas (8.5-9mm I think) and they do seem out of place and gigantic on my ears... but to FINALLY get my hands on tahitian pearls is still a wonderful treat. Then...it'll be a matching...

I took the bait in a second. While I am incredibly thrilled and L-O-V-E the blue akoyas, I think it's started what I see as a permanent addiction to pearls. I kept thinking about how nice it would be to get a tahitian something next. To my surprise, the new PP monthly special was already out...

Definitely seems like we have been coming out of the woodworks more. :D Also, I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw the new PP monthly special. I went into autopilot mode and next thing I knew I was submitting an order for the tahitian studs. They will be my first tahitians pearls so I...

Thank you for your opinions. I will continue my search with your pearls of wisdom. Pun intended.

I am a novice and read up on some articles about what pearl colors/overtones goes well w/ skin tones. My skin tone is weird to explain. I'm olive-y on the arms and legs but I really don't know how to describe my facial skin tone. I just posted a neck shot re: the PP monthly special and...

These pearls look so lovely on you Olmander and Callire. I am thoroughly happy that I was able to get these incredibly unique pearls. I'm certainly no expert but the beauty of these pearls seem to also lie in its ability to complement any skin tone! I'm wondering how you (Olmander/Olga)...

I confess! I have been a secret pearl addict since I first joined this forum. :) You know you're a pearl addict when you quietly snap away photos of your pearls at work (note the red pushpin for scale).
