Thanks Purr...I guess I missed this one!
I had contemplated this strand when they were first mentioned on PP, but thought they were too big for me. They look amazing on you. Perfect size, perfect length. They are gorgeous.
I really like very graduated strands in the 17-18" length. They look more real to me than strands with big pearls all the same size. I hope that make sense. Also, I think they would be lighter on the neck, and more comfortable behind the neck.
If something like this comes back up on PP, I'm definitely going to have to splurge on a necklace.
When were these available on PP?
JerseyPearl - these 2 strands came along with Sheri's Screamer white metallic pearls - it was posted on their blog and sold to ladies who inquired, but don't think they ever made it onto the PP site.
BWeaves - like you, I very much was tempted by these 2 strands, but I already have my small WSSP plus my mom has a larger WSSP which will eventually end up in my pearl stash. So I just couldn't pull the trigger given the WSSP and the white Edisons are pretty comparable. I occasionally still kick myself for letting them go.
BabyNurse - lol we are all very attached to our pearls. I name (a good number of) my pearls and take "storybook" pictures for them! See the OctoBabies picture adventures and playdates!
oh my goodness they are simply to die for and look stunning on you!
From that blog post I did inquire about the Vietnamese BBAs, and I ended up with rope of those that I absolutely adore (wearing them as we speak), so I can't really complain that these Edisons went to a better home. But NEXT time, they're mine.
Baby Nurse, wow, very special pearls indeed; you do them justice with your coloring!
Surely this is what the Chinese have been aiming at all along: round, bead nucleated, thick-nacred and and large, to compete with SSP.
I also think we're going to be seeing more and more of these as time goes on. Something worth saving for.
