I love your white south seas! I’m dying for a strand like this. Any way to get them other than going to Singapore?

Thank you so much! Ruckus sounds like it might be right up my alley!

Oh thank you! Yes! Those are more what I had in mind. Is Eiko a wholesaler? And what is ruckus? Is it a pearl convention?

Thanks so much to everyone who has offered advice so far. I’m wondering if I should just hold off on the purchase until something really spectacular crosses my path. I know once I have my strand, I’ll keep them forever, so no sense in buying something where I have the potential of wanting to...

I do want a strand of baroques, but I think I’d look best in small baroques... am considering some 9.5mm baroque Akoyas. I have a very low contrast fair complexion, so I’m thinking with the large size I should stick with the simple round profile so that I can pull it off.

Thank you for turning it right side up! I have no idea why it posted upside down

Thank you so much, I will keep an eye out for that!

Thank you pattye! I’ve been in the market for pearls for about 6 months and I’ve totally been lurking here gathering al the wisdom. I ended up settling on an 8.5-9.0 Hanadama strand from Pearl Paradise, which is currently getting restrung by them because it came a little loose. I’m serioudly...

Some more images of the strand I picked up. What do you think? Good enough for a starter? They are definitely strung one pearl off but that’s not such a big deal to me, can be corrected later.

I found a strand on last call, 12-15mm for around $4400. I ordered them and I’m exceptionally pleased with how round they are. Now they do not have perfect surface quality, some little pits, etc. but they are relatively well matched in terms of color. Of course I cannot say that I expert enough...

Does anyone have any familiarity with the Belpearl line that Neiman Marcus carries? They have some pretty designer pieces, but what is the quality like?
