I just bought...

[that_someone_special]

I just bought these over at The Pearl Outlet

http://www.thepearloutlet.com/Daily_Deal.htm

with their 10% off code they were only $225!

What do you think??? I have 60 days to return them if they suck.

This is the description from the website:
These 10.5-11.5mm black freshwater pearls are enormous. They are AA+/AAA quality pearls with strong luster and purple overtones. The necklace is 18" long and is strung on double silk thread, knotted between each pearl. Because larger pearls like these weigh more, we've paired this necklace with a very solid but fancy, 14k white gold, round-pound clasp.

I don''t know how many they had for sale in the begining of the sale, but they only have 2 left. I think you will be quite pleased. The picture seems to be more lifelike than there other photos!! ...and the retail price on that was rather high...so I think you got a great price. You will have to post pics when you get them!!!! I think they will be beautiful and I love the clasp on them!!

This was my first pearl purchase I ordered online while ordering FI dumb Brett Favre jersey (over the phone)... hmmm idle hands will buy things!

From one Minnesotan to another - I think these will look quite stunning on you on a Sunday afternoon lounging around the house watching Favre... Your own personal type of "jersey".

They are beautiful!! I looked at them but have blown my pearl budget for the month... sigh...

Yes, he did ask if I wanted a jersey too... ahm.. no... but I DID think of these as my version of a brett favre jersey

I can''t wait to get them! I will post many pictures when they arrive!

I think black pearls look much better in person than they do in pictures. They have a unique shine to them.

lol... too funny... Favre is just plain silly to me now... I have a roommate who absolutely adored the guy- she is really into football. now after everything that''s happened she just boos and throws popcorn at the tv, its halarious. she wanted to have a burning session for her jersey, but its worth money and I think shes going to sell it

ha!


anyway, your pearls look gorgeous!!!! must...have...pictures!!!!!!!!!!! *goes off to drool over some pearls*

I did post them in my other thread (ugg pearl help). They have been sent back now to be repaired!

Hi SB -

I''m just curious, were those pearls disclosed to you as being color treated/enhanced?


Hope you get the pearls of your dreams.

[Gailey]

Gosh, they arrived broken? What happened?

 

[pearlie]

Check the new thread "Ugg...."

apparently the jump ring that attaches the clasp to the strand is mishapen and perhaps weak. I believe she sent them back.
