HOLY Moly! Which One Of These?

[iLander]

Now it's just getting more difficult!

Today, Jose sent these as a possibility. He says they are medium green with slight rose overtones, good surface, nice luster. Beautiful, and well priced. He's taking these pics without a diffuser, in harsh lighting, so I can see them in "normal" light.

Arggggggghhh! (ilander melts into indecisive gob of goo)

yes, this does put a monkey wrench into things doesn't it lol. In any case all good problems to have. I would choose whichever of your favorites look best on you with your coloring. Which one pops and brings out the best in your complexion? That is the strand I would choose. Good luck with your decision!

UPDATE

I'm going with the cherry baroque AND the blue baroque.

The others are beautiful, but I have formal (golden) pearls. These are a little baroque and seem a bit more casual.

More like an adventure.

Thank you guys for the advice. I almost dismissed the blue baroques, but so many of you liked them I looked a bit more carefully. Jose is switching out some pearls to make it a little less baroque, and I am excited to see them! I LOOOVVEE the color, and I look good in blue clothes so those should work.

The cherry just have so many fascinating overtones that I can't pass them by. If nothing else, I can play with them.

I'll start a new thread when they arrive.

Awesome!

I gotta say, since I got my Tahitian strands, I've been wondering why I waited so long?

They should look even better on you, so I'm looking forward to your pictures.

(BTW, I like to photograph pearls in diffused natural light, such as shade, or next to a window, but not in direct sunlight. Put them into a shallow white box to get the overtones to pop. White paper towels will work. When photographing your neck, put your back to the sun and just photograph your chest area. When we were at the ruckus, we had a lot of marine haze and fog which made all the pearls look wonderful.)

Congratulations!
