| Dear Mray:
Thank you for posting here. I am a long time fan of Freshadama's from Pearl Paradise.
There is an option you have not considered.
In the size 7-8mm Freshadama you could purchase a full set for $468.00 and ask Mia or Kirstin to have them strung for you as a 29" necklace instead of an 18" with bracelet. This would be perfect for a tall woman and Kirstin has said before that it is normal for most woman to begin with the 'classic size' pearls, which is typically 7-8mm and move on to larger 'luxury' pearls later. You could up grade the earrings to 8-9mm and still be within your stated budget of $500.00.
If you ever watched the series 'Magnum PI' in the 1980's, there was a woman named Carol (see season 5) who was an attorney on the show. She wore dresses and blouses that crossed over low in the front with long pearls. She was tall and always looked extremely elegant with her opera length pearls.
Good luck,
