Did I do good?

[Renna]

Long time, no post. I've been cursed with a car that lives only to break down and haven't had funds for pearls in years...but I caved on these.

I think I did good! I nabbed the second pair of Edisons in this listing - I was amazed they hadn't sold already, whenever people offer options in a listing I always miss out on the best ones. Too slow. These were 38 plus tax and I think they look really nice, although I haven't seen Edisons in person in a REALLY long time and can't be positive.

They're 14 mm. I've also never worn a pearl that large but if I just stick one in I can be the Girl With The Pearl Earring. They sound enormous haha.

They certainly have nice luster, and I'm not sure how you could go wrong paying just $38+ tax on those.

Do post some photos of your own when they arrive!

You cannot go wrong at that price , even if they are flawed at the back they face up nicely. Lovely sharp lustre.

 

[BWeaves]

I love a good drop earring. Those are pretty.

 

[86Corvettegirl]

The luster is amazing & for $38, that's a great deal.

 

[Gemandpearlover]

Those are so pretty and you IMHO picked the best pair.

Heaven's sake! Miss a day and look what skates by, sigh.
Hey, Renna, welcome back!
Those are swoon-worthy, I hope we get to see them irl pics because I'm having trouble visualizing the size. You did good, oh yes.

 

[pattye]

Your picker is working pretty well, Renna! Congratulations!

 

[SydK]

Pretty! You definitely picked the nicest pair.

 

[CricketBug]

They're so pretty! I hope you post photos IRL when they arrive.

 

[Renna]

Thank you everyone! Good to see you again too Lisa

I got them! They are definitely flawed, with lumps and one black spot, but in the ears they do face up pretty clean and the flaws are not visible from a normal social distance. They’re quite pretty and yes, they’re big. My sister and I were at dinner and I asked her if she liked the “biggest pearls in the world,” at which point she said “wait, they’re real?!”. Hahaha. And then we had a lovely discussion about pearls and saltwater vs freshwater and orient and nacre layers and she told me to go be a “pearlier.” I am down for that.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

They have nice luster; no one will notice the tiny dark spot. I think you did fine!

 

[pattye]

Renna, you look terrific in your lustrous earrings! I feel a little imperfection is beautiful (wabi-sabi). If the black spot really annoys you, find some well matching nail polish, and just put the tiniest bit right on the black spot! Our dear Caitlin often did this and I feel she would approve of me mentioning this to you.

 

[lisa c]

Renna, that's the Girl with the Pearl, right there, WOW.

Thank you for saying that Pattye! I think of Caitlin and her nail polish talents frequently.

 

[CricketBug]

Oooh, those are really pretty! It's doubtful any polite person would be close enough to see that tiny black spot.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Way pretty enough for a right side up photo flip ... you did good! Pattye, thanks for the "Oh, that's just a dab of nail polish " memory

 

[BWeaves]

Great drops!!!! Wear them well!

 

[Naan]

Beautiful earrings!

 

[JerseyPearl]

The earrings are lovely!

 

[Katbran]

Yes, you did well. That sort of pearl often has a very little furrows and that black spot..if it bothers you find something you can just dot in there. White out ? lol Pearly nailpolish ? just a dab on a toothpick might work . Never tried it but it sounds possible lol
