https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/pearl-fashion-style/3442-michelle-obama.html Here's another good one-- I'm also tall and broad-shouldered, so I always like seeing what the first lady wears. Here she is in a single strand of large white pearls and an off-the-shoulder burgundy wool flannel...

I LOVE these, too. So special! I'm thinking about one for my 7 YO Goddaughter. She's a lifelong Democrat <G> who helped her parents campaign. Just don't know which color she'd prefer....

My guess is 114.

I'll be at work when the sale starts, but I'm sure there will be some goodies left for me by the time I can check a computer! I don't have any Tahitians yet, so that's what I'll be eyeing!

I LOVE that, Jeremy! As a lot of other people have said, sometimes a full strand feels too dressy for a more casual workplace. (I teach college English at a large public university.) I think especially in the summer months, a "tin cup" style provides an appropriately "light" look. I have...

My violin case has a hygrometer-- I wonder if I should be storing my pearls in there? Perhaps Fred (my violin) would enjoy the company... :D

Oh, this is really lovely! Both the pearls and the goldwork are amazing. After seeing references to her work on this forum, I've been perusing her eBay site; I crave some of the sea of cortez earrings. What kind of necklace will you wear this on? The pearls that you showed, or a chain...

What a great choice! Now-- for Valentine's Day, matching earrings! (Maybe even a size bigger-- 9-9.5mm.)

I do! I have a wonderful online diamond merchant; I've purchased several things from him. http://diamondsbylauren.com/ Although his specialty is colored diamonds, especially yellows, all but one of the pieces I've bought has featured colorless stones. His forum is a friendly place; the rules...

I think I'm good. She doesn't have pierced ears, plus I have as leverage A) her Christmas gift, an emerald-cut diamond ring with sapphire side stones, and B) her yearly cancer survivorship present-- I've started getting her an annual "something yellow" as a sort of upgrade from the yellow...

My parents were up here visiting today, and I showed these to my mom... she is buying me a pair of the earrings and a strand of the baroques for Christmas. I just placed the order. I am really excited, and I'm looking forward to seeing them in person (but less excited about then handing them...

Thanks so much for sharing this! The thing is, with a graduated strand, you'd always want the clasp to be at the back, right? This is an *incredible* diamond (I love cushions shaped like this <sigh>), and it would hardly ever show. Seems like a waste. Also, I think the diamond competes with...

The followup: We needed to go to "the city" today to pick up an ottoman I had special ordered ages ago (and kinda forgotten about :rolleyes: ). While there, I went to a fairly upscale B&M jeweler to look at Tahitians "in person." They had three strands of Mikis in three different overtones...

Thanks so much, y'all! If there's a consensus here, I guess it's that I really need to try on some pearls! I doubt I'll get much of a selection at nearby B&M stores, though. Still, even a strand or two would give me SOME idea! --Robin C.

I am a new member. This all started because I wanted a pair of larger earrings to go with a small strand of Akoyas I inherited. So I decided to do a bit of research, which may have been a mistake ;) . I had no idea what varieties of pearl lovelies were out there. I still haven't selected my...

New member New member Hi! I'm a new member-- all I wanted was a larger pair of pearl earrings, so decided to do a little research, and here I am. I still don't have the pearl earrings, because there were a few more choices than I thought <LOL>. So I'm still debating Freshadama versus Akoya...
