I am really confused now. I am having serious trouble picking one of this two - I really like them both, but I only want to choose one.

so Gals, please help vote your choice, which one you prefer. TIA!!!

I like the first, darker strand. The pearls look more round and better matched to me.

ETenebris · May 15th, 2009, 11:30 PM

I like the second strand. Tahitians (I think) are supposed to have interesting shapes, and I love the color variation this in this one. The first is also nice, but a bit dark for me. Good luck choosing!

im partial to the baroques...i'll take the 2nd strand...

dmitchell15 · May 16th, 2009, 12:31 AM

I love the 1st strand. To me, it is more classic and it will go with everything. In my opinion, I find that baroques are more casual designs. However, just go with whichever one you like better. Which do you think you will wear more?

bbbochap · May 16th, 2009, 05:41 AM

thanks ladies for your votes.

appears I am getting balanced votes for each necklace, there is no obvious winner here yet. :(

Ok, abit more abt me - I am asian, fair skin with pink undertones - so will these tahitian pearls look good on my skin color?

I am casually dressed most days - in jeans/pretty tops, shorts/pretty tops, summery floral dresses etc.... I wear alot of whites & vibrant colors like pink, yellow, red etc. I don't like blacks or dark colors. Hopefully, I would like this set of pearls to compliment my casual to semi-casual outfits.

I am appealed to this particular baroque pearls for the unique multicolor tones, but I am not sure if it is a novelty that will fade. Whereas the off-round ones will be a more 'logical' choice as it exudes a classic style, however the tones on the pearls are also 'safer', not as unique as the baroque (imo).

Please keep the votes coming in. I really appreciate more advices. TIA!

I love love love the baroques on the left!

I think they're a bit younger and fun, still very classic.

lulilu · May 16th, 2009, 08:59 AM

I love the strand on the right -- love the variations in color/shape -- puts an interesting twist on a classic piece of jewelry.

SpoilMeRotten · May 16th, 2009, 09:03 AM

They are both gorgeous, but I prefer the shape and coloring of the 2nd strand. Since it's lighter it will also go better with your wardrobe and skin tone.

queennadine · May 16th, 2009, 09:22 AM

I meant to say the baroques on the RIGHT...I get my directions confused sometimes, hehe.

Babestaaa · May 16th, 2009, 10:02 AM

the first looks best :) i have a bracelet that resembles the first and love it.

La Vanguardia · May 16th, 2009, 10:29 AM

Are you buying them online or in a boutique? With Asian skin, I find that you have to try the different color grades of the Tahitians to see what suits your skin tone better.

The pearls can be perfect and fabulous but if the color does not complement the skin tone, the pearls won't look too flattering.

callire · May 16th, 2009, 11:53 AM

I think the ones on the right will suit you best!

Crystalina · May 16th, 2009, 02:27 PM

I prefer the strand on the right. I like the color better and the fact that the pearls aren't exactly matched. It's fun to look at!
