I think I found "THE ONE"!!!

[cushioncutnut]

After contacting several vendors and asking numerous questions about their tahitian baroque pearl strands, I finally just did what I should have done in the first place. I chatted with a gentleman named Scott at Pearl Paradise who really went above and beyond! He pulled Jeremy (the owner) aside and asked if they would be listing any new strands based on my budget/qualifications in the near future. Sure enough, he said that they had over 600 strands that would be added slowly but surely to the website. I pushed a little further by asking if it was possible for Jeremy to pick from a few of the strands before listing any in my budget...and they came up with 5 really lovely strands.... (How is that for service?!!!)

Can you guess which one I was smitten with??

I should get it on Wednesday!!!!!

[gardengloves]

again, I know very little on this subject, but #3 is calling me.

 

[Asscherhalo_lover]

I would also say 3 or 4! Congrats!

 

[Honey228]

#3 is the most alluring to me. Then #4.

#2 is more like the strands that I''ve been looking at for myself.

[cushioncutnut]

The 3rd times a charm!!! YOu all got it!! The salesperson mentioned that the colors reminded him of "The Pelosi" strand!! Not a fan of hers but love that strand on their site!!! I hope it is even more gorgeous IRL!! Sorry... but after changing the file name and resizing the picture several times... it still would not let me post it!!

 

[bgray]

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Honey228]

It''s a stunner for sure! Love all of the silvery ones.

 

[y2kitty]

I''m excited to see more pictures when they arrive!

 

[cushioncutnut]

thanks Everyone!!! BG... I got the matte finished white gold ball clasp! I know you are looking for tahitians and I tell ya, I strongly suggest giving PP a call. My mouth drop when they told me that had over 600 strands not listed on their site. I know Jeremy couldn''t have possibly looked through all 600 strands...but for him to take the time to look through a few strands and pull the best of what he saw and then gave me a great price to boot......... I couldn''t be more thrilled.............other than the pearls being even more beautiful IRL!!!!!!!!

DD... I still am in awe every time I see your avatar with your neckline laced with tahitians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWOON!!!
