Hi guys. I'm really ill today, in a lot of pain, can't eat properly and feeling constant nausea. So bearing that in mind... my new strand arrived yesterday and it's so gorgeous! I was blown away and it's been on my neck ever since. I managed only 1 very poor neckshot yesterday (it was a lovely...

I'm ill. Really ill. It's almost as if my mind is not mine anymore. It's filled with thoughts of pearls, visions of pearls, desires for pearls!!! My recently ordered freshadama strand is not even yet here but my want, absolute need for more,more, more is insatiable.... so my thoughts have...

That sounds like a good idea especially since the mirror can be flush against the wall. I've seen the hanging mirrors which open up to reveal a massive jewellery space inside but they always look so obvious due to being so bulky. When I first started buying fine jewellery I was so paranoid...

Very interesting thread pattye. Thank you and everyone else!

If its peroxide like how I know peroxide surely it must strip away the outer layer to remove the colouration? Oh and what about white akoyas...also bleached?

Cute box amti. And I hear you on the mirrored ones Kat...I always admire them but I don't think id actually go for one. I'd love a secret drawer...or cupboard.... or room haha ..I can dream. I recently dug out (I just have waaaay too much "stuff") 2 wooden jewellry boxes I picked up from a...

What does it mean? I know my new freshadama strand (on its way to me :) :) :) ) isn't dyed white but is bleached. But what exactly does that mean? Like soaking it in a jar of (bathroom) bleach to dissolve away the top layer so a whiter shinier layer from underneath is revealed? I'd like to know...

Please! I'm contemplating a new jewellery box for my stuff that doesn't live in a safe (and I won't be leaving the box on the dresser top haha) so wanted some inspiration. What gorgeous (and hopefully sparkly?) homes do you have for your goodies? Need pics!!! Can be any type of jewellery...

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions, they really helped to organise my thoughts. I did end up making a choice and Mia at PP was just so amazing; she had the patience of a saint with all my questions and mind changing! I drove myself to the point of distraction so I dread to think what...

Oh your bracelet is absolutely gorgeous! I really love the luster. I do see what you mean about a couple being a bit oval and 1 stand being creamier then the other. However on your arm I can't pick those up at all which is really good to see for myself... let's me relax a bit! I didn't intend...

Yes the metallic strand is the least roundest and more oval. Your strand looks incredibly white esp with the white top on too... so beautiful.

Thanks so much for the picture pearl dreams. Yes they are aaa. In that pic the 3rd from the top luster and the metallic luster look to me the same?

Plus will the metallic one be creamy looking in person? I don't want creamy....I want white body tone.... (as white as a freshwater pearl gets without being nuked to death)

Haha pearl dreams it's like you've read my mind and typed it a out for me. The problem is I see something nice in every single strand!!! For eg I love the second to last one, but I know it won't suit my skin tone! I also really liked the 4th one from the bottom because of its uniformity but it...

Let's hope this works...

I really have no idea how to make the photo larger...

And my head goes pop. I posed this pic in my other thread but I think it will get seen more here and also hoping the pic comes out a bit bigger. Which one is the 'best' for you and why. For me it's between the metallic (won't say which) and the 3rd freshadama from the top because they have...

Thanks for all the info guys you are great!!! Now I'm driving myself crazy over what to go for after I got sent a pic of the range of freshadamas and a white metallic. I'm going to post the pic up, can you guys let me know which strand is your favourite and why? Thank you!!!

Just managed to read that link on luster treatment... a bit worried now! I don't want my strand to 'go bad' after only 3 months.... I'm planning on it lasting 3 decades��

Oh the pearls were strung. I felt (still do) so bad that I didn't love it straight away and feel bad that it now has to be re strung. I should have asked for a pic before it was sent of for stringing, duh me! Its just that ive seen freshadama strands this size online, silver overtone and they...
