Another vote for the Tahitians. I think the price is fantastic. Personally I prefer the ball clasp. It is simple and does not take the attention away from the pearls and you can dress it up or down with this type of clasp. To me, yellow gold pairs beautifully with darker pearls and white gold pairs better with lighter pearls. Keep in mind that the pearl pictures are on white background. Once they are on your neck, your skin will "warm" up the colors a notch (pearls will be a little darker on your skin than on the white background). Just MHO. Good luck.

Also if you choose a shiny clasp in either white or yellow or rose it will reflect the colors of pearls, skin, clothing, etc around it too-----

I always use white gold with dark Tahitians (also mainly ball clasp) because is does not detract attention from the pearls. But you should always consider what kind of earings do you tend to wear. In may case the clasp of the Tahitian strand very often slips down from the neck, so it is very convinient to have whilte gold clasp because I mostly wear white gold earings (I have dark hair, grey eyes and light skin yellow gold is not for me).

In my recent experience darr Tahitians with their metallic luster form a very good combination with a white gold clasp. I hardly notice the clasp, and this is exactly good.

OHMYGOD!! I think it sold out!! Who poached my pearls?? I'm going to go cry now!

Do you think PP can match me a strand in that general price figure ($400)?

I'm really upset!

I thought you must be wrong because it came up when I clicked the link but it is indeed showing as sold out. Had you tried adding it to your cart before now? Could it have already been sold and you just didn't know it?

Last week or the week before someone else was posting about the same strand. Maybe they decided to buy it after all?

Why don't you call PP Monday and see what else they have?

Gosh, that is too bad, Callire, but I don't think you should assume someone who posts here bought them. PP has a ton of customers, we are just a few. They are lovely pearls, but I am sure there will be more. This is a good year to buy Tahitians! Maybe someone in your family bought them for you?? Or a boyfriend?????

[Mervione]

Pattye is so right. Did you tell your family/boyfriend/friends about it? Just have to hope they got it from you...

I`ve seen lots of other nice baroque strands on PP, and they probably have loads and loads of pearls in their vault so they can make a strand for you.

Try not to feel sad about it.

Hi Callire -
That is a beautiful strand - I know that PP has a LOT of inventory and that it's worth contacting them to see about creating another one with similar colors/shapes/quality for a price in your range. Good luck and let us know what you find!

[callire]

Nope... I showed all my friends the link, but not my Family. Oh well, I guess they're gone

I'll email PP tomorrow. I hope they have something else that I love (and can afford)!

That's a shame

I hope PP can find another strand equally as good and affordable for you!

Good luck!

Or, you could get the white baroque now, and hope Santa brings you a nice present in Dec!

[callire]

No! Now I really, really want the tahitians! I have bad karma. Anyway, I'm going to email PP now and hopefully we can find something!

[dkan 168]

I check the usual suspects and they do not have any baroque Tahitians at that price

So good luck with PP!

I am so sorry about that. I am working from home today but just checked the logs and that one did go out this afternoon. But let's try to get one just as good if not better. We have a lot more strands than are listed on the site. We just try no to over-do an individual page. We typically load new pieces in the round and baroque sections each week.

Wow, that's what I call service!

Yay! I emailed Kristen@pearlparadise.com a little while ago, but I'm so glad we can find another strand! Ah! I love PP!
