    Default Black Gumballs

    Been waiting for someone else to comment on this new strand on the Pearl Paradise website but nobody has yet....... just had to say - YOWZA! 15.34 - 17.6mm?!?!?! I am buying my lottery ticket faithfully every week...... sigh.....

    Wonder if they're licorice flavoured or what........

    That was a piece that came from the inventory I mentioned the other day. You don't see them this big very often. It was the first one of the lot to grab my attention.

    Oh, that was you, Sheri. I am glad at PGer got that strand. I knew it wouldn't last long on the site.

    Wow, Sheri, you got a marvelous strand - huge, semi-baroque shape and rich color - congratulations! Can we get a photo of them on your neck?

    The shapes look so natural. Love them!

    Simply out of curiosity, are we allowed to know what clasp you chose to complement such giants?

    I thought the same, as the "normal" clasp selection is too small for the smallest pearl!
