    Crazy 4.5 mm Nacre

    Jeremy, are the geode earrings going to make another appearance on PP? I came so close to buying your favorite pair, but the price was out of my range. They were still great to drool over though.

    New aubergines in rose gold!

    They're definitely true aubergine. I was stunned and delighted at how richly purple they are! At 8.0-9.0 millimeters, they're much smaller than my blue-green collection, but no less enchanting. PP is the best merchant out there!

    New aubergines in rose gold!

    I fell for a rose gold ring on the Pearl Paradise site during the connoisseur sale and couldn't help but buy it. The only problem was that I then HAD to have matching earrings. A few weeks ago, I saw a listing on PP's Facebook for a new earring style in matching rose gold, but with freshwater...

    Guys, I did something bad. I fell for a rose gold ring on the Pearl Paradise site during the connoisseur sale (stock image below) and couldn't help but buy it. The only problem was that I then HAD to have matching earrings. A few weeks ago, I saw a listing on PP's Facebook for a new earring...

    Yep, gotta love the iPhone cameras for pics like this! Happily, the striations of color in the pearls are noticeable enough that I often pull them out from my neck just to admire the different tones. :o

    Sorry for the lag; things have been busy, but I love me my new ring! :o The pearls in the necklace are I think about 9.0-12.0mm.

    Which overtone to choose?

    I just ordered a coordinating ring from Pearl Paradise to complement the earrings and necklace! It's a white gold band, green overtone, 10.0-11.0mm diameter. I asked for the bluest-greenest one they've got, even if it means dropping down a millimeter. For reference, the earrings are 11.15...

    Thank you all for your lovely compliments and enthusiasm! It's meant a lot to have you all cheering me on in my first foray into the peal universe. I will certainly post again if there are any additional purchases - and I hope there will be. ;)

    Thank you all so much! I just ordered a baroque strand to set off the studs too. It's AA+/AAA quality with dark body color and rich green and blue overtones. :D I'll post pics when it arrives.

    Too bad the necklace is $2,800, which is more than 10% of my income. :mad: I am in love with this!

    Which overtone to choose?

    Here's the pic I was sent: Pearl Paradise was super helpful in finding me something that matched my specifications. I can't say enough about them! The only problem: Now I am lusting after a strand of Tahitians on their site too.

    I'm going with green-peacock overtones as requested from Pearl Paradise. The pair they pulled for me has very rich coloring and is 11.15mm. They sent me a pic and I can't wait to see them in person! :D

    Which overtone to choose?

    I'm definitely looking for stud rounds first and foremost. Price range is the cheaper the better, but I don't want to skimp. A triple-A rating is a MUST for this pair. Right now I'm looking pretty seriously at these. There's potential for some baroque drops after that. I'm leaning towards...

    Which overtone to choose?

    I'm just a poor person, that's why. :p I think I'm definitely going with the peacocks though. :) I don't know yet if I'll grab some freshwaters or just stick to the single Tahitian pair. The baroque idea is intriguing though...

    You're selling me on the peacock. Ugh, this is so hard though! I'm starting to think I might get TWO pairs, one of freshwater blacks and one of Tahitian peacocks. Best of both worlds.

    Which overtone to choose?

    For reference, this is the typical color palette that I wear and black is the most frequent of those: I'm intrigued by the green and the peacock since green and purple are in my wheelhouse, but I wonder if those overtones might sort of wash out the black of the pearl and water it down a bit. I...
