A couple of months ago I got a 6-7mm Freshadama strand. I subsequently decided the pearls were a little small for me. (I'm 5'9")

So I returned them for a size up. I adore them! (Thanks to Mia at PP)
They are right at 8mm (16 inch strand) which is a great size for me, but I'm afraid the more I learn about pearls, the bigger I want them.heh heh

These are perfect for an every day strand. They also match my Freshadama earrings perfectly.

Photo #3 is the new strand next to my PP 6-7mm AAA bracelet.

hmmmm what next?? Tahitian baroques?
I reallyreallyreally need more pearls!

Hi Kaywal,

Stunning !!!

You have a gorgeous neck to show off the strand. I don't have a FD strand yet. DROOL.

And pearls are so addicting.

[pearlkrazy]

Perfect everyday size for you!

[gravityalwayswins]

They look so fantastic on you! It's amazing how much life a piece takes on when it's worn... Congrats!

Gorgeous strand - they look beautiful on you - congratulations!

[Heidi]

Those look perfect on you. Really beautiful choice!

[lisamla]

They look great! I think its the perfect size for you.

[Kaywal]

Thank you!!

I'm so pleased with these.

They look very sexy poking out of that business-like shirt!

[airdancer]

oh they look so pretty! 8mm is a good size. I have the same desire to size up when i buy. I love pearls with a suit. Better, BIG pearls with a suit.

[Pearl_dreams]

Yes, those are a very good size for you!

Pearls are beautiful!!

They are absolutely gorgeous !!!!!!!

And you do them justice, they are so pretty.

Tell me, did you get the 7-8mm ?

I'm trying to guage the relatively of the different sizes - to me you have the perfect size.

I can understand why you are thrilled !

Thanks !

I did notice that page but to me the pearls look different when photographed up close and straight on. I can't see the difference as easily on the PP page.

Can you tell I'm trying very hard to find reasons not to buy the 8-9mm ? So I can spare money to buy another strand in a different colour - Gosh I'm greedy
