My first pearls! (Jewelmer earrings)

[CathyKeshi]

I thought maybe you could get those starter pearls from Jewelmer, and then have them add pearls to the necklace as you go, but maybe they don't work that way No matter, it's a lovely goal to work toward, and your earrings are stunning!

I don't know if they would agree to that, and it might be more expensive to do it that way. Of course, you could buy a pendant from them and ask them to add on it in the future, but maybe the kind of cord and knotting required would be different. I've never tried asking if I could buy loose pearls from them.

All you need is a pendant to go with the earrings and you should be good until you can save for a strand. Just gorgeous!

the earrings are actually part of a set; there is a necklace too, the design similar to the earrings (the pendant drops from a heart).

well, Jewelmer is currently running a contest on social media, and the price is a pendant, so I'm crossing my fingers there

Saving up for an actual Jewelmer GSSP strand might require me to start looking for a better-paying job (keeping in mind my mom's strand cost her around $16k+)...it's nice to have goals hehe

 

[Happy Huku]

They look lovely on you, thanks for sharing.

 

[GemGeek]

How wonderful that you have a set! Just the kind of thing that I would wear daily. Enjoy!

 

[Marianne]

Good luck on the contest, wyndslash! Your earrings are beautiful!

I didn't buy the necklace

Thanks, Marianne!

 

[GemGeek]

Oh, sorry. Well, it is easier to purchase the pendant and a chain before getting a full strand.

 

[wyndslash]

That is true I've actually avoiding going into the shop again or else I might impulse-buy the pendant just to have a set (and while it matches the color of my earrings still haha).

 

[CathyKeshi]

I think going back into the shop again, and getting the pendant while it matches the color of your earrings is a VERY GOOD plan, LOL, Wyndslash ! See, we just love to help

 

[Pearl Dreams]

If you like wearing pendants, then buying the matching pendant now while it is still available is a smart thing to do! You'll have a set to wear while you save for a strand.

I have to echo everyone else, if you keep thinking about it, you'll likely regret not purchasing in the long run.

 

[Katbran]

You can buy the pearl and save it until you can buy a nice top for it ... that will split up the cost and nail down the matching pearl ! Then you can take it out each day and look at it .... " my precioussssss ..")

 

[GemGeek]

You guys are too funny, but quite right. I would put the pendant on the payment plan and delay getting a strand to way out in the future. You never know -- someone might decide to get you a strand as a future gift...

 

[wyndslash]

You guys are bad for my wallet haha. Maybe I'll drop by one of these days and ask for tbe price hehe

 

[CathyKeshi]

It's dangerous here, Wyndslash But oh, so delightful ....

 

[wyndslash]

I wore them so much this week that when I took them out tonight, my ears bled! so scary and painful. I got my ears on antiseptic now, thinking if i need to wrap them in gauze but dunno how to do it. Ouch. Is there a trick to taking out earrings? You just pull, right? Haha maybe they were too tight.

 

[MSC]

You may have had them on too tight! I do this sometimes too bc I worry that the stud will fall off. I've gone to asking jewelers to use a thicker gauge for the post with a deeper ear nut groove so that when clicked into the groove, it would be less likely for the ear nut to fall off accidentally. I have long hair and it often gets tangled in my earrings. Normally, posts are 20 gauge, I usually ask for 16 gauge posts.
