Too funny! :rolleyes: I was just thinking.. scince I have a yellow undertone in my skin, that strand of pearls with an ivory body color would look bad on me? Also an ivory body color does not match a true-white wedding dress. The first strand she picked out had an ivory body color with a...

Well i've contacted PP, and all is well in the land of getting things fixed! It's so great to deal with a company that stands behind the products they sell. It's honestly hard to find such companies these days. I decided to go with the size of the ball clasp that is equal to the size of the...

Yes we have decided to just go with the matte ball clasp but I don't know what size will look best, or in porportion to the size of the pearls. I don't want a clasp that's normally put on a strand of giant tahitians to be put on a clasp of pearls that appear half that size. If you know what I...

Questions about the size of a ball clasp versus the size of the pearls? What's the rule that I can't seem to remember? A 9 mm ball clasp for a 8-9 mm strand of pearls?

I've talked to them previously about ordering clasps I like. One clasp in particular was only available in 14kt yellow gold. They don't have any catalogues I can look through, they only have the online inventory they use through a manufacture. She couldn't find any of the clasps I liked, except...

On pp's website, I see 2 diamond encrusted ball clasps. There's one with the same type of closure, as the clasp I just had (that drove me nuts, because my fingernail had to be right on the line or it wouldn't open) it would be a push in closure I think. And then there's another one that's split...

Well I sent the pearls back overnight to pp. They just called me today to discuss the matter but I missed the phone calls, and ended up with 2 voicemails. I've got to call her back as soon as I get the chance. She said that she found a strand with a strong rose overtone that has less blemishes...

More pictures later.... The length of the necklace is 16 inches. I find it to be too short for my neck, even after it's been worn a few times. I figured that 18 inches would be too long, so my best length would be about 17 inches. Scince i've already decided to send the strand back, im...

Hey everyone, sorry it took so long for me to get back to the forums. I'm back to post the pictures I never got around to doing! To address the blemishes, when I examined the pearls around the time I took the pictures, I noticed aprx. 25 pearls with noticable blemishes, and this is a 16 inch...

Hey everyone, I know it's really late, but i've had a long day and I haven't had a chance to post untill now. (I don't expect a response untill late tommarow sometime lol.) So, I don't really know where to begin with this post. I recieved my strand of pearls today. I finally decided to go with a...

Why do the ovals show so much more orient and depth of luster then the rounds? They are absolutely beautiful. I will have to order some oval shaped multicolors soon. *drool* ;)

My strand of pearls are arriving today... Can't wait to see them! So how do you post pictures in a thread? Thanks. :D

What a beautiful strand! I just think these fireballs are so striking and designer looking. :)

Freshwater pearls are mantle-tissue nucleated, whereas akoya pearls are bead-nucleated. Instead of inserting a mother-of-pearl bead and a piece of mantle tissue into the gonad of a freshwater mussel, as is the process with an akoya mollusk, only a piece of mantle-tissue is used, and this is...

Update on the clasp: So I am now looking for rep. online dealers who sell just clasps. If anyone can give names of rep. dealers or websites that would be great. Also the type of clasp, would be something that looks durable and substantial. If anyone can help us out, we appreciate it very much...
