Just received them today!!! Thoughts??

Will do!!! Thanks again for so much advice and pep talks for courage!!

Alright... as an update... just placed my order for an 8.0mm-8.5mm Natural White Hanadama pearl bracelet and pearl stud earrings from Pearl Paradise!?! :eek::eek: I guess now it's time to wait and see what they look like when they get here!!!

Awesome thank you for the advice! I'm certainly I think looking to make the original statement with something like the Akoyas which sound like your "idea" of what a pearl should or would look like so to say off the front. After buying these initial ones it will open up the conversation of other...

Thanks for directing me to those pictures! They look gorgeous thanks for sharing!

Do you think one looks better than the other or is that a personal preference type question? I can see the difference though! Thank you for sharing!!

After messing with my wife under the assumption the kids might want to buy something for Christmas or if I were to go any kind of route for our anniversary what type & size jewelry she'd like to get I found out that the 8mm is definitely more the size she's wanting when it would come down to it...

Thank you for the idea of the Hanadama pearls and they do look great online at Pearl Paradise. I do agree that if I would go back for a bracelet or a necklace (which could be the Christmas present so as to have something to match) it is much more economical than the White South Sea pearls!! My...

Thank you for your response Pearlescence... Thank you for the help in rationalizing the pricing differential of online versus in store! different types of pearls attract different prices, however, are their truly better pearls? Are the SSW pearls better than the Akoya etc? I'm okay paying the...

Pearl Dreams - Thank you for the amount of information and education!! - Quick follow up... What's the best pearl or is it simply personal preference? My wife doesn't have any pearls so there's no preference. If the South Sea whites are generally best I have no problem paying the price for...

Is South Sea the better pearl? I'm not opposed to paying the price for them if they are the better pearl. I do not have the knowledge to know if they are better than Akoya, Freshadama, etc or if they are simply just a different pearl and they are all equal in quality. Do you have any...

Hi all.. I'm greatly appreciating all the advice and information and enjoying reading everyone's replies!! My wife is 37yrs old and works as an office manager for a doctor's office. She's not going to wear much jewelry to work. She has a wide range of earrings from large and dangly to smaller...

Hi everyone... I'm new to this site, I've never purchased pearls, and my wife doesn't have any pearls. I'm looking to buy my wife a pair of pearl stud earrings for our 3rd wedding anniversary. I've read enough online now about pearls just to be dangerous to myself! LOL I'll apologize in advance...
