Looking to buy some pearls for my SO, need some help!

[CO_SVT]

I want to buy some pearls for our anniversary but I am unsure which she would like best. I am looking on PP and I found 2 that I like

This one is in stock
http://www.pearlparadise.com/8590-mm-White-Freshadama-Freshwater-Pearl-Necklace751.aspx

This one isnt
http://www.pearlparadise.com/7580-mm-White-Freshadama-Freshwater-Pearl-Necklace746.aspx

But basically I'm not sure if I should get the bigger pearls or wait for / find some more smaller ones.

I was also looking at Akoyas but I'm not sure what to do. Stick with the Freshadamas or go for Akoyas?

I'd call Pearl Paradise and ask when the smaller strands are expected to be back in stock.

On the other hand, it seems to be the case that most of us ladies prefer larger pearls over smaller ones!

She has said she doesn't want them to big but I wasn't sure if 9mm was to big

Oh yes, 8.5-9mm is a wonderful size for pearls! Those pictured are really a treasure. Lucky SO

Also when they say 7-7.5mm are they typically the smaller measurement?

That's a lovely strand CO_SVT! She's a lucky lady!

Also when they say 7-7.5mm are they typically the smaller measurement?

There will be a gradual increase in size, with the smaller ones nearer the clasp and the larger ones nearer the center. But as I understand it, there are fewer of the larger ones.

This is an appropriate question to ask directly of the seller.
