Hello Pearl Experts! I am awaiting new VCA sweet studs in WMOP. After staring at millions of necks and photos after the past several weeks I have decided I would like a pearl station/tin cup necklace to wear with it. I don't like pendants and I don't want the matching motif necklace.
I apologize for my ignorance but what kind of pearls should I be looking at? Akoya? WSS? Freshwater?
I have a WF ACA by the yard I have worn for years and love, each station (with bezel) measures approximately 4.6mm. After looking at various sites I think I want 6mm pearls, does that influence the origin?
I definitely prefer a cool toned white. I would like 18 inch with a loop for 16 inches. I think I want 9 pearls. Tiffany has one but in silver but I for sure prefer platinum/ would take white gold. Miki has one in white gold but it has 11 pearls and it looks too crowded to me (maybe I'm nuts?)?
Next question, who should I go to have it made? I would like great quality. I don't have the bandwidth in my life to source pearls and then have it made. I've read about Moline, Takahashi, PearlParadise. I think this is a super basic piece, but I don't really want to shop around for a quote. Who is the one person I should go to for a great piece based on whatever type of 6mm white pearls y'all recommend?
Thanks in advance!
