I am so sorry about that. I am working from home today but just checked the logs and that one did go out this afternoon. But let's try to get one just as good if not better. We have a lot more strands than are listed on the site. We just try no to over-do an individual page. We typically load new pieces in the round and baroque sections each week.

Yay! I emailed Kristen@pearlparadise.com a little while ago, but I'm so glad we can find another strand! Ah! I love PP!

Remember to post photos of your new Tahitians once you get them, I think it'll look great on you.

New question
Can someone show me some pics of a tahitian strand w/ the approximate size? I've been seeing something like 8-10mm, but it's hard to picture that on.
(I've also considered branching out and going with something a little lighter- maybe a silver-aqua)

Here is a 18-18.5" ( I can't remember the exact length) strand of 9-10.3 mm pearls. It has silver body with peacock/green overtone. I have a skinny neck.

Nice Tahitians, Cathy!
Callire,
I advise you to match pearl size to suit your build and frame.
Gob-stopper pearls and Flintstone look may be great as a cartoon, however, in real life, pearls that are too large can dwarf a person who is small and petite. You want to wear the pearls and not the otherway round.
Think large handbag on a small person, and large person with a tiny bag, if you get my drift.
The reason I need 20+mm pearl for a pendant is that I am only 5'2" (157cm) and weigh a staggering 175lb (12.5st/79.5kg) Hence I need big pearls for them not to disappear on me

Here is something I found:
? Ginger Burr, founder of Total Image Consultants in Lynn, Mass., has a guiding rule for pearls and beads: Women with small features should wear small-scale beads ? maybe multiple strands ? while women with larger features can wear the larger beads.

Well, I'm 5'7" and about 130 pounds, so I don't really know where that puts me on the general scale of pearls. The ones I'm looking at are 7.8-10.3mm..

You'll be fine. I'm 5'1", about 100lbs (or so I hope) and I wear 10mm all the time. 7.8-10.3mm aren't particularly big for Tahitians.

That's slim in my book!
You'll be fine with 7.8 to 10.3mm Tahitians, good luck, and I hope you snap up the strand you are considering before someone else does!

Nice!
Why am I not surprised to hear you have opted for something better and bigger?!

I am the same weight and height as you, but I have dark brown hair. With our height, I feel we can wear the BIG pearls. I wear 13-14mm and love them. It might also have to do with personality. If I am feeling particularly confident, I wear 2 strands! The color on your Tahitians is really marvelous. Don't forget earrings to match!
