All of my good pearls (necklaces, bracelets, earrings) have been purchased from Pearl Paradise, you cannot go wrong with their products, they're lovely and wonderful quality. Their customer service is fantastic. I live in Nova Scotia Canada and wouldn't deal with anyone else!

I hope one of the experts responds, I'd love to know as well. I love the look of the ripple pearls and have also seen a strand on PP called 'Inception' freshwater pearls that are gorgeous but can't find the article on the website as to how they are formed. I love the look of baroque pearls of...

Those blue akoyas are gorgeous! I've had my eye on a similar strand at Pearl Paradise, have to save up! The colour is so elegant.

I just wanted to let you all know that today, my husband presented me (for my birthday) a beautiful pair of 8-9mm Freshadama drop earrings in the yellow gold and they are stunning! He said he ordered them over the phone with PP, ordered them in the silver overtone! How could he know? Sneaky...

I just wanted to say I love the daily specials that TPO is offering! I'm hoping they have an all-white freshwater rope on sale sometime soon!

Karen, that is a beautiful strand! And ivory you say? So lovely and soft looking on your skin! So far, I'm leaning towards the silver overtone, with the ivory as a close second. In my area, there are only a few high end retailers that carry the more expensive pearls (akoya) so it shouldn't be...

Alot of great advise, thank you all so much! Your pearls are beautiful, Pearlcat! Your skin tone is quite a bit warmer than mine, but those rose pearls are lovely! I'll keep you all posted on how I make out!

I do have another question..hope no one minds! Should pearls 'match' your skintone or be the opposite of your skintone? Don't know if I'm phrasing that properly but hope you know what I mean. If your skin is rosy, should you wear a rosy shade or something that would not blend so much?

I know!!! For my first real string, I want a white strand, preferably a double strand. Then I'd love to have a few coloured strands..oh I wish money was no concern!!!

I adore the lavender shades but they do nothing against my skin..*sigh*! I'm leaning towards the silvery overtones myself, they look so pure, magical almost. After reading everything I can on this forum I've discovered that I would never buy the saltwater cultured, the freshwaters nowadays are...

Thanks for the great advise! I agree, trying on strands is wonderful but I've got my eye on a double strand from Pearl Paradise in the AAA and just want to make sure they look awesome! Though I'm sure they will, they have such beautiful strands. I do have a strand with a slight pink...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and have learned so much, and now must ask your advise! I'm a very light redhead, with very fair skin and freckles. I had my 'colours' done years ago and was told my pearl colour should be ivory but I'm just afraid that they may look too yellow-y on me...
