| personally I've never really come across a grown woman of any size that really looks good in anything smaller then a 7mm strand. Wearing pearls that are too small does not make a good look, you're better off not wearing them at all. For your budget I would suggest going with a AAA 7mm Akoya strand in 16" and see how that looks in person, then you can make a decision to go bigger or smaller - I'm willing to bet you won't want to go smaller. |
