Well, Of course the skin, hair and nails are gorgeous, but I do think the studs are a bit large looking. That's fine if you like that, but not sure.... One option is reutrning them and getting smaller ones that have are better shine/less foggy? I'm not saying they're not nice though. :D

OMG Fabulous! Need a bigger picture though. Where are Supergirl's pearls?

That's a gorgeous bracelet. I want it!!! Um... was it expensive? (You don't have to answer that of course). Just wondering... I want a bracelet and earrings for my collection but I'm taking a L_O_N_G time deciding.

I thought the black strand was actually pretty good looking. I really liked it.

I think they look gorgeous. What about a more cream-coloured strand with larger pearls?

Oh P.S. I have a very, very long neck described by some as elegant but by my husband as tree trunk-like. However the 16" strand is fine. It's even 16" *including* the clasp. I like my pearls close and tight. When I bend forwards nothing clonks me in the face or gets in the way or goes in my...

Pearl lust? Pearl itch? I can tell you a bit about that! Unfortunately... it never goes or calms down. I think about earrings, other strands, and bracelets pretty often, even though my first ever purchase of pearls was recent. It's a weird kind of addiction because there are so many types...

Wow - how exciting. I wish you luck in finding something for her yourself. A wonderful idea, making it as personal as possible.

I choose the top strand. My favourite length of pearl neckalce is 16" and no longer. That's because it will likely always show, and not be hidden underneath any clothes. I want my pearl necklace to be seen and admired at all times. :-D

Wow that would be a very lovely necklace if it's real.. Bacca - yes, maybe you're right. Amanda - yes I can totally imagine how a pair of pearl earrings was a sign of having got somewhere. They do usually look classy.

I can't believe how many people inherit pearls!!! Until I joined this forum I knew nobody with pearls and certainly nobody who inherited any. I think a lot of inherits are "inherits" (I don't mean you by the way). I like the first picture but I'm afraid I couldn't tell you much. Do you think...

I'm guessing they were kicked off eBay.

I can't keep my mind or eyes off pearls for very long, and tend to spend hours browsing around sites or various kinds looking. I'm not intending to buy - especially the ones I link to below, because I don't like them. My aim is to educate myself. On a UK auction site (not ebay) there are these...

My immeidate reaction was no, I wouldn't buy those pearls. I think (sorry) they look cheap - maybe you don't mind? They appear superficially shiny, without depth. To me they seem brash and showy. This is all just my personal taste. I don't want to wear pearls that look like sweets you could pop...

Wow - I guessed right! I'm so pleased with myself. This forum has taught me some things about pearls.
