Help me choose Tahitian pearls for PP Blossom earrings?

[Bailey1856]

What??!!! No one else here but me likes to go out toboganning or skating at -27 degree Celsius?
I'm planning to do that this year with pearls.

Sorry, Bailey...I do stick my toes in the Atlantic Ocean every month of the year, but give me cold and ice...well it had best be served in a glass with some vodka.

That's all fun stuff, for sure!
does snow stay on the ground all winter in Ontario?

I just read some Wikipedia about your place. Interesting stuff!

 

[Bailey1856]

JerseyPearl, when winter gets too long then I start reaching for some vodka

lisa c, no, it doesn't. I live in South Western Ontario so it varies really. One winter lasted for like five months with on and off snow and lots of really cold days and the next one was quite short like two months with lots of mild days in between. I'd rather have lots of snow, make everything pretty and bright. It's especially nice on Christmas day.

 

[GemGeek]

I wholeheartedly approve!

 

[BAS]

You approve of winter, vodka, pearls or snow?

 

[Marianne]

I'll vote for chilled vodka and pearls Winter and snow, not so much!

 

[Frost Me]

No. 3 was my first pick at the beginning! I would have these.

 

[Sea Urchin]

And here they are. Ta-da! Not the best pics but I'm running out of sunlight. Maybe I'll post an ear shot tomorrow. Depending on how I look tomorrow, of course. Anyway, they're larger and darker than I expected. I'm very pleased!

 

[Pearl Dreams]

I like those! Great color combination.

 

[GemGeek]

All of the above, and Sea Urchin, they are adorable!!

 

[Bailey1856]

Are they dark green? So shiny and beautiful, please post more pictures

 

[Marianne]

Oh, those are beautiful!
ps, you do not have to look great, just your ears

 

[pattye]

Sea Urchin,
Love the blossom setting, the shape and color of your pearls! Great choice!

 

[Tucs]

Lovely combination, would love to see more photos.

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Lovely! They look like a great length and the shape complements the flowers very well.

One of my absolute favorite earring options, and even in a tiny pic the pearls look liquid. Nice job!

Good one Marianne, and so true!

 

[Sea Urchin]

Okay, I know I'll be in big dookey around here if I don't post ear shots, so here we go:

And here's a pic of my whole new haul together, because the camera isn't showing the pretty peacockness of my new earrings well enough! That's the Pearl Paradise blossom collection earrings with 9-10 mm drop Tahitians; 14.6 mm Tahitian pearl from The Pearl Society in the Classic ring setting by PP; 48 inch 7-8 mm endless lavender freshwater strand, special order from PP (AA+); and the October special from PP, white ripple strand 9-12 mm, 18 inch:

 

[JerseyPearl]

Great haul! I love the Tahitian drops and ring...and love the lavender pearls...and of course the ripples.
