Sure thing! The pearls are 7.5-8.0mm (I'm 99% sure) Freshadama grade. Mom comments that the necklace is "heavy" but not unbearably so, so I think for a triple strand that is about the max size to go for her for a wear-all-day necklace. She sure LOVES it though! I agree that they nest...

Great choices. The ombre is awesome. I also love the WSS and diamond earrings! -- Where did you pick those up, 86C?

I HAVE A NECK SHOT, FOLKS! :) Christmas could not have gone better! And Mom absolutely loved all of the pearls, especially that amazing Tahitian strand. Today, she opted for the Freshadama triple strand necklace. It looks and rests AMAZING! The best part of this is the full circle that...

Mom's Freshwater button pearls. They are small and comfy and look very round from a distance. Up close, they are almost squares. Received as a gift, not sure when. Merry Christmas to all those at P-G. May many pearls find their way to under your trees. :) [

Rikitea tahitians ready to go! -- shout out to another family member for gifting me the ability to do the 'edgeless wrapping' stuff.

Great choices there, Red.

Those are amazing! I (and my wallet) wish my mother (for whom I tend to buy all pearls) would be more interested in not-round shapes, but she wants what she wants. :D

Ooh, those are very neat! I like the colors.

Wow, those are awesome. I love the ombre strands. I am sad that my budget is capital-G Gone.

Neat pendant!

It was giving me an error earlier, but as of this post it's working fine for me.

We're all excited with you! What a cool suspense, though.

Everyone looks so elegantly put together!

It's so cool to see pearls being bought/sold/traded among the "family." - I'd bet 10-15 members on Pearl Guide own more pearls than most entire suburbs. (I'm only half joking, too)

I love the sequence of those four really vibrant pearls towards the bottom of your photo!

Thanks all for the kind comments! :) Looking forward to seeing both how things shape up and what projects I can get started on soon!

Fortunately the diamonds are not for Christmas. Phew. :D -- That'll be for a spring/summer project, when all the vendors are bored and looking for custom work :)

Shoot, $660,000? Think I got that laying around in the couch. :D <jokes>

Always appreciate the kind comments, Corvettegirl! :) And thanks, Red! Since my mom was a jewelry buyer in a "former life," I have learned to get good taste quickly, lest she never like anything I buy for her. I'm the only reasonably successful gift buyer when it comes to jewelry that I know...

Always glad to enable! -- anytime! :) Not to be a total tease, (ok, maybe) - these aren't pearls, but they're going to be going into a pearl project so that counts right? They're too cool not to share. 1.2 ctw Brian Gavin Superideal cut stud pair:
