So, we know the typical first purchase is the standard white round strand and studs. And with time, the shapes seem to get wilder (and of course let's not forget the infamous Pearl Shrinkage Syndrome). What about color?
I just got a pair of champagne-ish metallic studs, 11-12mm. I am surprised to find that I like them better than my (many) white-white pearls. Well, these do just happen to be beautiful pearls for one thing but they also seem a tad more, what's the word, hip or edgy maybe, than the classic white-whites.
Here are a couple of quick not-real-great pics.
How has your pearl preference changed over time?
