Thanks! I figured it was common and could be easily dealt with.

I took a couple of pictures of my pearls which came today. They are really pretty. I have one issue . The pearls seem strung a bit too tightly in one spot. Is this common when you first get them? I put the pictures in my album in my profile (not sure yet how to embed them in a post.) The...

I didn't know you could do that with a clasp, but now I do for next time!

I didn't ask about a possible price increase tho it did occur to me there might be one. I will post pictures of the pearls when I get them.

Potato pearls? Yikes. That was rude! I called Pearl Paradise today and spoke with someone there. I asked about the metatllics and she said that I'd be better off waiting to order those til after the first of the year when there'd be more selection. We then got to talking about the Freshadamas.

The "pearls" I have now are from the costume jewelry section of a department store. I bought them for job interviews back in the '80s. I think it is time for some real ones , but I am a little lost about what I want in a strand of pearls. I am in my 50s and 5'7" tall. I wear a size 10 to 12. I...
