Ohh... Okay then. I have to say, I think an 18" strand will be much easier to wear. You won't sacrifice the WOW, I promise

My advice: Buy the 7-8mm full freshadama white set with Rose overtones (they mimic the akoya hanadamas and are universally flattering) and buy some mahogany -here's the cheapest place I've seen them-gift boxes (one for necklace, one for bracelet, one for earrings). That's the best WOW factor! If you still have a little $$ left over, you could upgrade the clasp on the necklace to something a little prettier than the standard polished gold (maybe the saturn clasp if you stuck to white gold for everything).
