3. Is 7.0-7.5 a good size or should I go bigger or smaller? I do not want the strand to look to small, nor do I want it to look like Mardi Gras beads (too big).
4. Are there any other questions that I should be asking that I do not know enough to ask? |
1. FWP. Akoyas for the second strand.
2. I am 5ft 2in. I find that 17" is the goldilocks zone for strand lengths.
3. Bigger is always better for cultured FW/akoya pearls since they never go up to mardi gras size
4. Body colour. Some prefer a rose tint.
