Wore these SSPs to a good friend's wedding: P.s. Argh, why is it sideways???

The earrings are Tahitians. I bought them locally from Golay a while back. There's a thread here: https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/showthread.php?10034-My-diamond-huggies-with-pearl-drops

I love that rope. The purples are pretty darn unforgettable.

Yes I agree and mentioned so in my earlier post too. I did the comparison as I think there was a question about these vs wssp and thought it might be helpful for those who haven't gotten their ssp yet.

Welcome to pg! Dunno why I missed your post earlier. Maybe it was under moderation? Anyway good to have you here and do start a new thread to show us your pearl collection k? :)

Here is another article about her necklaces: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3639928/A-glittering-wedding-gift-missing-link-King-Canute-blue-beauties-Brazil-beautiful-priceless-Queen-s-glorious-necklaces-fascinating-stories-tell.html

Yes I do already have a few drops so I'll be looking for wssp studs. I wear studs to work pretty often so I think I will get a lot of wear from them.

Thanks for all your suggestions! Still undecided so I'm just enjoying them as they are right now. Such pretty colors... I've them on my kitchen counter n they cheer me up whenever I walk past n catch a glimpse of their fabulous colors... Diffused natural light Artificial light

Yeah... I'm gonna be shopping for ssp earrings at my local fair next month... Was thinking that maybe I can just go with fwp but after this comparison, I think I have to get a pair of ssp studs. I do wonder how a silvery metallic fwp strand with nice skins and shapes will look on me... Yup...

I really enjoyed the article too. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I think they are all just white pearls to the average person in the street, haha. My colleagues must be wondering what's with the uniform of white pearls all week. And thanks for explaining the wonky drill holes... I was wondering why and honestly feel quite annoyed by the sight of...

And finally here are mine. They only arrived earlier this week no thanks to a shipping delay AND the Memorial Day long weekend which added another week to shipping. It's been a while but if you recall I'd ordered two strands, a metallic one with baroque shapes and another rounder non metallic...

Welcome to the forum! Thanks for posting lovely eye candy for us to enjoy. :)

Thank you everyone! I have not decided what to do with the mabes but i definitely see a pair of dangling earrings, a pendant and a ring... Still thinking about the rest and I also need to find a jeweller whom I'm comfortable to hand these beauties over to.

BAS' set tipped me over the edge actually... I always find reading the forum threads highly dangerous... Never know when I will see something that will deal heavy damage to my bank balance...

I'm a big fan of pave settings. They give nice sparkles without being too overwhelming the way bigger diamonds may be. That said I'm all for better mileage for my diamond money with convertible jewelry. Which is why I love my diamond huggies with interchangeable drops. I wear them all the time...

I thought of waiting until I had time to take proper snaps but then that's probably like never since life as a working mum with two kids under two is madness... So here are some pics I took in a hurry this morning. No time to edit but I think they look stunning anyway. Using my trusty iPhone...

So glad it turned out well for you! Enjoy and I hope to see it in person soon...

I think your choices are fantastic and this one looks great on you. Can't wait to see your other two strands too.

I'm typing with a smile too. Thank you for sharing your joy with us. Such a delight to read and see (the pics).
