Dear Reiah:
If you think it's worth your risk financially, and your husband will be okay with it, it's definitely worth the money to get the larger ones.
Those blues are fantastic! The multi mix is out of this world.
On the other hand, 7.5 to 8mm akoya is very traditional and you'll never feel out of fashion with those.
Personally, I never ask my husband permission for anything. However, we agreed a long time ago to discuss anything that's more than a one hundred dollar deviation from our normal budget and I wouldn't give him up over pearls, however beautiful they are.
His favorite question these days? "Who needs ten pearl necklaces?"
My answer, "People do!"

PS I'm dreaming of a 9-10mm white Freshadama. Or maybe a 9-9.5mm akoya. I can't decide.
