I thought I had my list all worked out, but now I'm vacillating.
Was planning to get 16" white 7-8mm freshadamas with white 6-7mm studs and possibly a set of dangles, then the same in a set of lavenders in the nebulous future. I want to request pearls that are as cool-silvery as possible, so I feel like I should at least try to make those in two "set" orders to facilitate matching.
Now I'm wondering if I should take advantage of the excellent city strand deal. I don't usually wear long necklaces and I'd have to hang onto them until fall, at least, because I'd die if someone asked me if Carrie Bradshaw inspired me to wear them. But taking the long view, I know they'd be an invaluable addition to the accessory wardrobe of all the women in my family, would get lots of use, and the price is amazing.
Then there's the clasp quandary. Most people don't know much about pearls. People who know just a tad look at the clasp to "judge" the quality of the strand, so I'd like one premium clasp that could play musical pearl strands when someone needed it for a foray into snootville.
Not sure what I'll do, but it's pretty amazing I could buy all that with less than 2k and wear them for several lifetimes. $2,000 won't get one very far at Mikimoto.
