My Mother's Day pearls from Pearl Paradise

[misskittycat]

Even though Mother's Day was almost three weeks ago, I hadn't had a chance to take any decent photos of the lovely strand Mr K purchased for me as a gift until this afternoon.

As soon as I saw these beauties in the Pearl Paradise Mother's Day sale I knew I had to have them. I had actually enquired about this very strand when I bought my large drop pink pearls from them, but felt they were a bit out of my budget at that point in time. So when I saw them in the sale I shrieked!! Luckily Mr K was more than happy to buy them for me and a few short days later they were in my happy little hands.

I have already worn them three or four times - not too shabby for a stay at home mumma who wears jeans most days - including to our Mother's Day Brunch on Maui

I have to say, in real life they are the most spectacular pearls. Far more beautiful than on the computer screen. Lovely pink, silver and blue overtones on baroque pearls measuring 16.0-22.0 mm. They are alive with colour and movement. I am totally in love with this strand. It is to die for.

So, it should have a name..... Wilma Flintstone or Betty Rubble?

 

[Fly Girl]

That is a signature necklace if I ever saw one. So glad they went to the right home. They look stunning on you.

Thanks everyone for your kind words!! There is a deep love affair happening with these pearls over here. I have taken to wearing them of a morning with my dressing gown. I'm sure the queen does so why not me?

I do affectionately refer to them as Wilma Pearls so I think Wilma is a fitting name for them! They do look so much better on than just as a strand. I will try and get a few more neck shots for you mrs taylor but it's very hard to capture their luminosity and lustre adequately. Like most pearls they are better in real life than seen through a photograph

Let's bring Wilma back since she plays so nicely with the 35" soufflés!

They really look absolutely terrific together.

I don't wear them nearly enough as I should. I wore them to dinner the other night and got a few compliments. The pearls loved their outing!!
