Lovely South Sea studs 10-11mm

[cushioncutnut]

I am really impressed with these! No blemishes that I can see whatsoever. I think it is safe to say I found another vendor (Premium Pearl) for pearls. Very pretty silvery/powdery blue overtone and I love the size of them!!! I would love for them to have been a tiny bit more metallic...but I know that SS pearls are not as metallic as akoyas or freshadamas can be....

 

[cushioncutnut]

Indoor... gosh it is so hard to capture there true beauty!

 

[cushioncutnut]

outdoor...

 

[cushioncutnut]

These were the SS pearl and diamond earrings that I returned in exchange for the bigger ones...

The ones I returned...

 

[cushioncutnut]

Comparing them to my akoya

 

[cushioncutnut]

another... you can see that the akoyas have more luster and a slight rose overtone

 

[cushioncutnut]

Last one!!



GOTCHYA!!!

They are lovely on you! I''ll have to check out the PP website.

 

[Indylady]

Lovely!! I definitely like this pair better than the pair you returned. I''ll definitely have to check out Premium Pearl now.

I think your SS's can hold their own, in term of lustre! I mean they're plenty metallic!! GORGEOUS!!

In fact, I've seen some SS's that have intense lustre...make me go all funny inside (only a Pearlaholic can talk like this, ha ha

)

(and that spider gives the creeeeeeepppppsss!!!

)

 

[Phoenix]

And I LURVE that you wear the diamond studs in your second holes. I never thought you could combine diamonds and pearls like that. Am going to try...

 

[Honey228]

Oooh I love the size of those! You have an awesome collection, CCN.

I''ve seen lots of flowers+jewelry, pets+jewelry, and babies+jewelry photos, but that''s the first giant honkin'' spider + jewelry photo I''ve seen.

LOL! I was just having fun with the spider pic! I hope that no one thinks I was being "creepy" putting it in here.

Thanks Phoenix.... I know that there are SS that probably would knock my socks off even more, but for the price of these and the service that I received, I am beyond pleased. I have become a Pearlaholic too. Now I want some nice sized Tahitian studs!!

If I had my way, I would have diamonds attached to the pearls...but yes, I can at least wear the diamonds in the other hole and it looks quite lovely together!!

It''s my FF strand.. the original one that was switched but that I bought anyway. I did not edit the photo either! I think it''s a combo of awesome pearls and lighting

 

[collectingmore]

Lovely!!

 

[brazen_irish_hussy]

The only thing bigger than that spider is those new studs. They are amazing, great find.

 

[elle_chris]

LOL! thanks HHP.... I would sell just a few pieces that really just sit in my jewelry box only to save up and buy a lovely round multi-color tahitian strand like yours!! I just love seeing all these beautiful tahitians strands on this forum!! Can''t seem to get enough of them!!
