    A little help would be very much appreciated.

    Many thanks for all the kind words, I will look into all of the suggestions this weekend when off work. Lisa C you sound disturbingly like my mother ha. Thanks for the advice, and to all others also. Have a good weekend all.

    Ok so long story short. The girlfriend in question has decided she doesn't like or want them (or me), but we'll ignore that point ha. I now have this necklace in London, England and have no desire (funnily enough) to keep it. Does anyone wish to buy it off me? Its exactly the same as in...

    Just wanted to come back and say thanks again, had them delivered to a friend in the U.S and picked them up to today. Your advice (as was others also) was invaluable and I appreciate the time taken! A couple of quick photos I just took on my phone (not giving them to her for a couple of weeks).

    Took your advice and purchased the top strand of the Freshadama's today. Thanks for the all invaluable advice. Went into a normal retail store today and for ?200 what I could have purchased looked to be vastly inferior. Would be curious to take the strand I purchased into a store and ask them...

    Ok maybe throwing a slight spanner in the works I was sent three Freshadama strands to consider also. However with the lighting change I honestly think the AAA strands look better from my perspective . I know I'm wrong; but are these actually $80-90 better from your perspective?

    I tend to agree with you! The quote with the photos said; "You will notice the distinct overtones in these 3 strands. The top strand is rose dominant, the middle silver and dominant bottom is ivory dominant (with some rose)." Apart from Lustre (to me basically the top one is the shiniest ...

    This looks fantastic and just what I'm looking for! Thanks again for all the advice and help. As someone who has no idea about pearls would I notice the difference between AAA and the freshadama? The 18inch one is probably what I'll be looking to order. I'm a little confused as to what I'd...

    Well I really appreciate the time taken to reply by everyone! Special thanks to Pearl Dreams! I was possibly hoping to spend a little bit less and the 18 inch is $345 + P&P. Unless you believe the 18 inch will be too much? I am unable to find a 7.0-7.5 necklace on the website, are these not...

    Hello, I am currently researching buying my girlfriend a year anniversary present and have become almost set upon an 18 inch Pearl Necklace as I have seen her admire a couple. After a fair bit of research I have began to understand the grading qualities etc and have seen a couple I have...
