Hello All -
This may not be the right place for this question, I hope Caitlin will move as necessary.
My question is a general jewelery design one: Do you typically use a higher grade/quality of pearls for bracelets and rings than for necklaces or stud earrings? I have been told by a couple jewelers (gem-setters) that a slightly lower grade gem is tolerated in items which will not be brought right up to ones eyes, such as a necklace or pendant. Does this translate to pearls?
Thanks for indulging my curiosity.
