My new Sea of Cortez Earrings

Your lovely earrings

Your lovely earrings

Hello Jeweljunkie:
Your earrings are so lovely.
I am currently looking at Douglas' website and drooling, and trying to decide what to buy (and how to pay for it .... chuckle.)
May I ask you a couple of questions?
What was the grade of your pearls? (I am wondering if I need gem quality, and can I save a bit that way, still having the lustre and colour, but have an imperfection somewhere? Not sure.) Also, 11mm seems big for earrings. I'd love to see them on your ears. Do you think a smaller pearl for earrings is OK?
Thanks for posting your pictures, and any advice you may have for me.
Sincerely,
Linda (fellow junkie)

Hi Linda. I just sent you a P.M. Good luck! I'll try for an ear shot.

 

[Jeweljunke]

Ok, this is the best I could do, since I was trying to do it fast for ya, and try to ignore the gray hair

 

[Alex]

what grey hair ?........

Jeweljunke, between yours and Alex's BV's SoC pearls, I am sick with envy. One day, I will join the ranks of this select group.

I second that! Still drooling...

 

[Jeweljunke]

Awww, it's so good to have friends that are blind.

Oh Junkie, those are so nice!
(Sorry, I shouldn't call you that ... I just think it's a funny nickname.
For sure, I feel like a junkie about now.)
Thank you for making the effort to post them for us.
You're right, that is a nice size.
And every picture shows them in a different color.
I just ordered a pair, and between the website, and additional photos sent by Enrique,
I still don't know what the heck I'm getting. But they'll be lovely no matter what, that much
I can tell.
Cheers.
Linda.

Re: grey hair

Re: grey hair

PS I went grey in my thirties, and was too lazy to color it.
I am 50 now, and pretty much white. It's all good.

There is something to be said for being fair-haired. You don't go grey, just more silvery-blonde, over time. So my Granny and Mama demonstrate, anyway.

Ear pics as soon as you have them please! I'm officially jealous ! But very happy for you!

 

[Jeweljunke]

Lindaphillipsbong, Good for you. I can't wait to see them. Take loads of pics! And, no need to apologize for Junkie - happily, it is what I am.

And, gray hair! Yikes...I had NONE 2 years ago, and now, suddenly it is everywhere, even a couple of eyebrow hairs. This getting old thing is the pits, but ALOT better than the alternative heh?!

 

[Lindaphillipsbong]

Yup - that's the right attitude.
I said to my husband all those years ago: "Do you mind if I go grey?"
He says: "No, do you mind if I go bald?"
So, all's well that ends well.
Linda.
