Hi all,
I’m first time pearl buying, and know how much great help this forum was for my wife’s engagement ring! Now I’m trying to buy her her first pearl necklace. I want something classy, staple, but can’t quite get to the top level Mikimoto I’ve read about on the threads.
But, I have reached out to Pearl Paradise and Takahashi and looking at Hanadama or the top Takahashi line.
A couple photos so far, I have natural white and the pinked from Pearl Paradise. I’m sure this is probably personal preference as much as anything, but are they any other advantages/disadvantages, one versus the other? To a more trained eye, how do these look? They look pretty good to me, but I’m new to the pearls!
