I believe my neck is normal. :) The size of pearls range from 11.-to 13.5.

Wow, what a beautiful necklace.

Great question and please know that I am not an expert. I will share some of my observations based on personal experience- limited for sure. My sisters and I have all have different colouring, The range is a redhead and with reddish skin tones, dark brown hair and fair skin tones and fair hair...

Hi Rusty, When you say "in your face boldness of colour are you referring to the very dark golds". Deep gold versus intense gold, is there a difference?

What are the common overtones in golden pearls? And/OR What contributes to the range of hues in the light golds to deep dark golds? Is it correct to say that I like golden golds. I'm not a fan of champagne colour as they draw to the flesh/pink tones or to the other extreme the dark golds as...

Thank you, you made my day. I promise to give them a good home and lots of love. :)

Too bad I did not know about you/company while I was living in California (1 year in LA and 5 years in SF) I would loved to have come to visit you in person. I'll likely come in person on my next visit with my AmEx card :).

Great info. Did not know that AmEx had such a good plan. Time to investigate this again.

Hi Wendy, Close, I live in Canada, originally from Montreal, now living in Toronto. I do have two sisters living in the UK, so it's good to know for them..or me when I visit.

Caitlin, I wear the pearls almost everyday and do love them and now, after reading your message, I wear them with pride. I am unable to return them and not sure I would after having worn them these past few months. The only misktake I made was to buy them and then do the research. I will have...

Hello est 190, I too have made far more costly mistakes (also in home repairs) and I'm not losing any sleep over it or even stewing over it. It's a lesson learned and a back to basics in doing homework and more comparative shopping. It give me a good comparative of pricing to quality of in...

Hello Jeremy, Sorry for the poor quality of photos, most are not true to the strand. Here is my last photo attempt. I consider this a "lessons learned" and am back to doing better homework.

Hello est 190, I'm slowly gaining confidence in considering a purchase on line. The more I read on this site, the more I'm reassured. Yes, are absolutely right about retail stores that carry pearls, they have a very limited selection and staff that has a limited knowledge. I aked to see a...

Hi Alex, Again, thank you for great advice. I will continue to do my research both in store and on-line. In store to actually handle and try on pearls (colour test to see if the colour suits and size to make sure that I get the right look -not too big as I find them to look like Wilma...

Thank you EST190, You are right, in the big scheme of things it hardly matters. I didn't declare the price as I feared that I really did pay too much (too embarassed). Suffice it to say that I do really love them and wear them very often. Nonetheless in hindsight, I should have done more...

Hello Jeremy, I hope this helps, hard to get a good photo that is close up and colour accurate. (backdrop: snow in back yard)

Great advise, I will attempt to photograph the pearls on and compare with white and black. Would you know what yellow paint colours most closely resemble golden pearls?

Thank you Rusty and Bronwyn, I'm so glad to have found this site and get feedback from people like you and your wife. I've been going about my search in silence by going online and in stores (surprizing little pearl knowledge in even high end jewerly stores). I've love pearls all my life and...

Hello Alex, Here is another grading system that deviates from the description above. It also breaks down grade by characteristic. What are your thoughts on this. www.pearlsonly.ca/pearl-grading---golden-southsea-grading-guide/index.html Also, I took a look at the ss golden pearls and found...

I will do just that, should I contact customer service rep at number on the sites or do I ask for a sales rep instead? Also, can I expect to see a certificate prior to deciding? I notice that sites that post certificates often differ in desciption to the posting.
