I've seen more subtle hi-vis gear on cyclists.....

I can't see the photos? I'd love to see the pearl! Lucky daughter!

That's a lovely pearl, and really suits you. Nice one!

They are absolutely wonderful, seriously glam pearl fest!

That's special, and utterly lovely. Nice one!

Tahitian pearls have a minimum thickness of 0.8mm before it is legal to export them from Tahiti or sell them. Akoya pearls often have thinner nacre, over the bead which was implanted in the host, which means that they can wear away more easily and be more fragile. You grasped the essential...

Lovely pearls - and not often people talk about visiting their dentist with such enthusiasm!

I think all these photos of boys and young men with pearls are great, more power to their elbows.

I got a lovely freshwater pearl to set for a pendant for Mothering Sunday the day before yesterday - does that count? Even if Isaac did have a wee bit of assistance in choosing and acquiring?

My darling 8 year old thinks it's a great shame that men no longer wear lots of jewellery, and swipes mine whenever he can. After all, Sir Francis Drake wore pearl earrings, and no-one ever thought he wasn't a real man while he was sailing round the world and defeating the Spanish Armada!

It looks absolutley lovely on you BAS! But I still think you'd need 3 of them to have a go at matching Queen Mary's pearly overload....

I think you'll need several white ropes! That's roughly 16 times round her neck, including the pearl collar.

Queen Mary (Queen Elizabeth's paternal grandmother) was well-known for pretty impressive jewellery on all occasions, and pearls in particular. I've just seen this photo, though, where she outdid any pearl bling I've ever seen! While amazing, that must have been seriously weighty to wear, not...

Where in the world are you? That might make a difference, whether you're recommended places in the UK, USA or Australia, or elsewhere.

That's gorgeous - I love ropes with varying sizes like that, it helps all the pearls stand out and you can appreciate them all more by looking at the variety.

I love yours, too - aren't we lucky, to have such beautiful rings to admire all the time? Better than a necklace in some ways, as it's easier to see (-:

It'd work, nice Tahitian and I'm out for the count.

It's lovely - and fortunately, I don't drive much. Have to be careful wearing it in court, don't want to be so absorbed with the lustre that I find myself saying, "yes, whatever you say, My Lord....."

I love my lavender pearls - I have some round ones, too, and the colours are just spectacular.

I'd have thought the best is one where the colours suit you, and go with your other jewellery and clothes and so forth, as well as some objective standard? Enjoy your new pearl, whatever colour it is! I'm jealous of people who can wear those lovely gold SS pearls, they don't suit me at all.
