They don't look ginormous in real life, they are a very wearable size actually. The shot with triple strand is a bit more realistic.

More shots, worn as double, they look huge in these shots due to angle. More shots, worn as double, they look huge in these shots due to angle. Sorry about wierd angle/ perspective, but a good close up of the pearls

Ha ha, just me hanging about upside down! The first pic is inside, bright indirect light, second indoor sunlight, last worn as triple strand. As per usual, pics don't capture the overtones well.

Here they are... Here they are... Not sure if this will work

Ok, they arrived yesterday but I was out all day so only got the chance to play this morning....wow! What great pearls. The ulster is amazing, the overall colour impression is a dar/ medium charcoal green with light cherry and green overtones. I am now going to attempt to attach some photos...

Cleared customs last night ( well, after I paid duties etc), so should be here by end of the week. Then I'll have to grapple with the IT side of things - I've never uploaded photos before, so you'll have to bear with me for a bit while I work it out ....

Thanks Red, missed the size bit somehow in the original listing you posted. From memory I think the strand I ordered was a bit over 8 to a bit over 11 mm, and 4 inches shorter, so could be considered the size down I suppose, but the main body of pearls will probably be similar.

Yes, that was the strand. Wow guys! Those Are amazing pearls! I think my strand may be smaller diameter pearls, what size are those ones cmd2014 & Red? Necklace currently stuck at customs so I have to wait for them to call & pay the duties. Waiting, waiting....

Oops, meant to say "pkinnew" - autocorrect!

Yes, cmd2014, I think it is that same one. Glad you are happy with the look of the pearls then. I'm sort of regretting cancelling that other strand order, but at least Mr Shepherd knows that there will be another sale in the future at some point when it' s time for me to choose another one like...

Oh no! Look what happens when I don't check the forum for a day! I was going to write that I had been very much taken care of by PP, and that yes, both a refund OR a replacement strand at an increased discount was offered. I have to admit though, I got a little nervous despite the good reviews...

Well, emailed to see why strand had not shipped yet, and it was because it was already sold but the website wasn't updated when I placed my order! Oh well, just need to keep looking...

Well, I bought something! Will probably take at least a week to get here though. I had been eyeing off a mixed strand for a couple of weeks, a mix of gold, white south seas with some Tahitians, not too big 9-11 mm ovals. Can't wait for it to arrive now. I have always liked this style, and this...

You all have such good advice. I like the idea of waiting for the first strand and then going from there. And yes, my invites to all those gala openings get lost in the mail too, so I'd need to feel comfortable wearing a strand to a nice restaurant or a friends party. I have a beautiful ( non...

Thank you all! Yes, the temptation is to but too quickly - there are a lot of nice pearls out there, but also a lot of potential duds. It is fun to browse for a while! I have been guided by this forum ( mainly) about trustworthy vendors which still gives more than enough places with big ranges...

Heh heh, you enablers you... Seriously, thank you for the advice so far. I think I can justify a stand per decade, which will give me a small wardrobe of nice wearable pearls. And then I have another decade to save and decide whether that megastrand will be something I'd wear. Plus...

Advice from some of you more experienced pearl lovers would be much appreciated. I have a milestone birthday approaching (that border between a bit old and more old ha ha), and have a discretionary amount I am going to spend for a present for myself. My question is, should I get 3-4 very nice...
