Well my daughter and future son in law came up from Atlanta this past weekend. My wife and I could not wait. We gave her the 7.5-8.0mm Hanadama Wedding set (18 in necklace and pearl stud earrings) we got from Pearl Paradise. She was speechless! She loved them and put them on immediately. I asked...

Well I didn't take your advice, but I am extremely happy with the pearls. I got a set, Hanadama 7.5-8.0mm 18" necklace and 8.0mm stud earrings. I wanted a Caddy not a Buick. What can I say. They really are beautiful. I think Pearl Paradise is a great place to do business.

I spoke with a very nice and informative woman at Paradise Pearls yesterday. She told me in addition to answering my questions that there would be a mothers day sale of 20 % off eveything. She was not sure of the dates, but would email.

This is the kind of information I am looking for from folks that know. I am looking at 8.0-8.5 mm 18 inch necklace and stud earrings, either quality AAA or Hanadama for the best look fabulous. Should I go with an overtone color to match her skin tone or her dress. I know that is a stupid...

Pattye I took your advice and went to Pearl Paradise website. Loved what I saw. I probably will buy new. While doing my research I came across a website that said Hanamada grade means nothing anymore. It went on to say that is the reason Mikimoto dropped that quality rating all together. They...

Pattye I was hoping if someone much more pearl saavy than me could tell me whether they look like AAA quality, a general description of the color in the photos, as you mentioned the nacre, and maybe what a real fair value would be making all the right assumptions. The seller said that I could...

The price listed is irrelavant. Not even close.

Anybody have an opinion?
