My adventure started a couple of weeks ago when Kay mentioned she saw a strand of golden South sea pearls on the Pearl Paradise web site she wanted to see. She asked if I would like to join her at lunch and give my opinion. I'm always game to help anyone choose pearls plus I wanted to see another strand she had chosen during the Tahitian sale. Off I go to be a happy enabler.
Weeeel so much for being a pearl bystander.
I was very surprised to see that this strand was so much darker than the strand I already owned ( peeking in on the upper corner ) And how often do you see strands that look equally well on black and white?
I needed to try it on:
I took one look at her strand and said if you don't get this strand then I will. So much for my self imposed pearl buying ban. Next came the hard part, calling Pearl Paradise to see if they had another strand of this color and the waiting for the next batch to arrive.
Kay's strand color was called 24kt. That is what I wanted. When I first saw Kay's strand I thought I recognized the color but was not sure. Yes it was listed as 24kt color golden ss pearls. I LOVED it even if it wasn't really 24kt color because it was pretty color at least to what I remember it should be plus the strand was lots and lots darker than what I already had.
