What are you wearing today? Pearl edition!

They look fabulous on you! And OMG you were brave enough to go in! I’ve always wanted to go but have been too chicken!

Don’t be chicken. Go in at a time that’s not so busy - so you know you aren’t taking them away from other pursuits. They’ll be delighted to meet you!

Are you local to them? Take us with you. We will give you encouragement

Think of it this way- if you look in person, you might buy one day. Even if you have to win the lottery first. That is good for the company for you to get comfortable in their store!

Yes! I pass by them all the time but I feel bad because realistically I’m unlikely to buy anything so I feel bad wasting their time.

@mellowyellowgirl there is nothing wrong with going in and when you are approached to say that you are just browsing. They will let you browse no problem. Not sure how they feel about someone videoing though. While they have always been happy for me to take a picture when I try on a piece I make sure to ask each time. I expect videoing would be frowned upon.

Oooh definitely no videoing! Goodness I’m too chicken to walk in, no way would I have the gall to ask for a video!

Haha maybe I’ll make sure to keep all my freshwaters at home

Consider that they are making an investment in you. I used to visit Tiffany’s all the time and felt the same way as you. Ten years later… I am now buying there because the store feels familiar and welcoming and I know the product.

A strand of silver-white baroque Tahitians for me today. They’re more boulder-like in shape than other Tahitians I’ve seen so at first I wondered whether they’re very silver/blue WSS!

Traditionally, you’d see women in cheongsams wearing a strand of jade or white pearls, but I have neither

ETA: I will get this strand restrung with knots when I get the chance!

Did you just get this strand? Okay I need an updated collection pic - you’ve gotten so many new pearls recently!

Haha yes I did, thanks for noticing! After stalking the pearls forum for years and learning from everyone here, I think that once I bought my first strand, I just couldn’t stop

I’ve got an exam coming up soon but will take some family pics after!

Literally shared trauma

Good luck with your exam!!
