Time to show off my dark strands

[MsT]

I have 3 dark strands in my collection. The flameballs are from the
TPO sale, the black FW are from ebay and the Tahitian just arrived
an hour ago from the PP sale.

I reach for the flameballs quite a bit...they seem to compliment
my coloring and provide a casual look. At some point, I am going
to restring them and remove the single "dead" pearl from the front.

I am not sure about the Tahitians yet. I think they need to
grow on me a bit.

......Another of the Tahitians:

Wow. They are all awesome. I do see pinkish/light purple on the Tahitian. I don't have a flameball. The photos from TPO pages were quite pastel. I did not realize they are "spice" colors. If I knew that I would have bought a strand. Enjoy!

They still have them!

I would keep the Tahitians myself, and like that one the best out of the three

Spice colors usually refers to natural-color freshwaters. Those fireballs are color-treated.

Thanks, Jeremy! I thought they are natural colors.

I like FW colors, especially the exotic. I am in love with intense Tahitian colors. Then there's the allure of white, lustrous South Sea. And so on, and so on. I am in so much trouble.

Annie,
those are all just gorgeous! Can't say which I prefer--------the Tahitians are lovely, tho! Thanks for modeling!

The Tahitians are already growing on me and I think they will quickly become a favorite.

The Tahitians are my far-and-above favorite. They are so lustrous and yummy-colored! That said, they are all very pretty. I have no problem with dyed/treated pearls as long as they are not misrepresented as being colored by nature. I like the way the three different strands make up a pearl wardrobe and I think they all look nice on your skintone. Thanks for the wonderful photos!

Annie,

they are all lovely, but the Tahitians are the finest in my opinion. Such beautiful dark colours and the lovely rose overtones! I do like the colours of the fireballs, even though they are treated.

It didn't take long, eh? They are so lustrous, clean with intense colors. It would be hard not to love them. I am glad you posted a photo of the flameballs. It looks prettier on a model.

Those Tahitians are fantastic, Annie! Definitely my favourite of your strands ... amazing colours!

 

[john675]

They all look great against your skin - congratulations!

Your Tahitian strand is gorgeous!! You picked a great one. I'm still waiting for my strands. UPS lost my package from PP. I'm hoping they can find it.

Love the Tahitians! I do agree the flameballs are more casual and probably get more use. But dark pearl colors are the best!

So I'm not the only one having trouble with UPS ... I had a lot of grief with this same shipment - they buzzed the once on first delivery, but didn't do so on the second attempt nor did they leave a message even though I was home that time. When I went to the depot after calling to say I would collect it, the package went out with the truck again. I wasn't rude to the guy at the depot, but he seemed very offended that I was upset about the situation. Seriously, if you don't understand the problem you shouldn't be in customer service.
